Year Two, Letter Twenty-two

hey everyone. so how´s it goin? news...

scripture: D&C 132: 20 - 25

wow so where to start?

first email i read this week was from morgan. and yes, morgan, i got
the email and the pics.

second was from mom.

it has definitely been a while since i have seen brad. and i don´t
think i have ever met his girlfriend. but i still exist in arizona. i
am not there. but people still talk about me. i guess i am super
popular :)

Isaías was awesome. unfortunately some stuff happened with wesley and eduardo
and they didn´t want to be baptized anymore. but then i figured we had
to at least try and rescue wesley because he is older and more firm in
his decisions. so we went there and talked with them and then Wesley´s
mom got there and started telling us that everything we were teaching
made such perfect sense. the things that wesley and eduardo weren´t
sure about were things that she believed and now she wants to go to
church. meaning that she will be able to help wesley. the problem?
they travelled this weekend i think so they didn´t go to church. :(

Johny and Moira are spectacular. seriously. Johny went to church for
the 2nd time yesterday and said that he wasn´t even able to describe
what he felt but it was so different from any other church he visited.
when he was leaving he was like, "See ya next Sunday, Bishop." and so
bishop elizeu that went there with us one time already was way happy.
Johny is awesome. they still need to get married, but i have a little
experience with this so we are gunna help them.

yes, cascavel is hilly. and huge. it is a gigantic city. my shoes are
still protecting my feet. i think at least. haha

i love teaching about the scriptures. we taught Isaías about daily
scripture study this last week. we are probably gunna go to his house
tonight, as well.

andddd TRANSFERS. yeah...everyone can exhale. i am staying in
cascavel. and everyone can continue praying. because ferreira is gunna
stay here with me. president wants to see if i can help him be happier
and more excited. which will be more difficult after last night. there
was a blow up in our house last night. one elder from the other
companionship was talking with me and ferreira said something
sarcastically or something like that and they started arguing and then
yelling and i think there was some kind of name-calling (you never
know with some of these missionaries from up north - some of their
name-calling is pretty weird). so ferreira got the cell and called
president and was crying and whining that he felt really offended and
that he wouldn´t be able to feel the spirit. i don´t blame the other
elder. ferreira is impossible. i don´t know how i have lasted so long.
blessings i guess. but after 6 weeks of holding in, the other elder
exploded. but i mean...i guess it will be okay? i guess i can try a
wet willy on ferreira, dad. we will see where it gets us.

anddd dad.

alright first off, i can´t believe that the number is 75. holy cow.

i am glad sports have stopped mattering to me. lol. but i am sorry
that our family members' teams fail. dad...i don´t know if it was
supposed to be funny, but when you said "but i do have a Green Bay
helmet downstairs..." i laughed for like 5 minutes. good stuff.

i wish i coulda been there for the birthday festivities. vacuum huh?
dang blake...do you feel old yet? remember when that present used to
be legos?

dad...i am sorry that the yard got dirty again. imagine the apartment
here. 4 guys. 20-years-old. yikes. i clean the bathroom and 2 days
later it looks like it never had been touched. imagine what it would
look like if it really hadn´t been touched!!!!

i can´t wait to play golf again with you dad. if i shoot below 100,
will you buy lunch?

morgan. again. lol

i am reading the ensign as well. i love the talks. i read "Safety for
the Soul"
by Jeffrey R. Holland. Oh wow. read it. i dare you. it is
spectacular.

when i start going to a gym again...i can´t even imagine what i'll feel
like. that is all i can say about that. but i am sure you aren´t fat.
i mean...i can´t be certain. but i think you will survive.

i can´t believe Jackson is already almost 5 months old. i love the
pictures you send of him. it makes me feel like i am actually an
uncle. i hope the clothes work for more than 3 weeks. and tell him to
roll over for me. :)

Lauren! i got your email, too :)

and yes, i am using listerine total care. which is the purple one. my
teeth are feeling a little better. they are still sensitive. but what
can ya do?

the investigators are...coming along. we are preparing quite a few for
baptism. a lot of people we are teaching are part of families that
were baptized but then went inactive. so we have reactivated this girl
named anelise. she is way cool. and cute. but that doesn´t matter. she
is twenty-something so obviously that isn´t going to cause problems.
but anywho. she was way strong in the church but then her family
started becoming inactive and she was the last to leave 3 years ago.
so we found her and she has gone to church the last 2 sundays and now
we are teaching members of the family that weren´t ever baptized. so
that is cool.

i hope everything works out at work! and that you can get a new car. i
think i will try and get a new car one day, too. what car are you
thinking of getting?

thank you for the trunky comments, as well. i mean i definitely have
more than 6 months left on the mission. so don´t be cutting my time
short young lady! i have lots of time left and i will be in cascavel
until at least march. lots of stuff to do still.

i hope that everyone is doing great! i hope that the super bowl is
thrilling. i know it will be for me. i love you all. times a lot.
anywho. lots of people want to visit arizona one day and meet you
guys. i am offering free room and board. but i will start telling them
that they will have to make their own beds. and laundry isn´t
included. sound good?

LOVE YOU GUYS! tchau
