Year Two, Letter Twenty-eight

hey everyone.

so this week is gunna be super quick.

scripture: Mormon 9. The whole chapter is bomb. I loved it.

so the new guy is Elder Miranda. He is Cavalcanti´s comp. He is a
little odd. in some ways. but he is alright so far. he has some odd
tendencies. but we are all chill. me and piano are still tight.

ummmm this week was great. on friday we went to the cartório with
Johny and Moira. we marked their marriage for the 2nd of April. we
taught them about temples, eternal marriage, and eternal families last
night. the president of the quorum and his wife went with us. great
lesson. especially since this last weekend was the temple weekend for
the stake. so they were both excited to talk about their experiences
and stuff. good stuff. johny and moira are awesome. their two
daughters are 4 and 2.

we had to travel to londrina on friday night because on saturday, we
had a meeting with an area seventy. his name is really odd and i
forgot it at the moment. but it was a good conference. sister tavares
gave my favorite talk to be honest. it was about faith. it was a great
talk. she was talking about the fruits of our missions and how they
depend on faith. good stuff.

i had the worst haircut up until this point in brazil on
thursday. i had to cut my hair for the conference. but now i am just
sad that lauren can´t buy a ticket to brazil and back to cut my hair.
lauren! don´t lose your hair cutting abilities. i will need them.

my ankle starting hurting really bad outta nowhere last week. along
with my ingrown toenails, that means bad news. the fungus/disease in
my toes is micose. meaning that it is slowly eating away at my nails.
i bought some medicine, but i don´t know how long it takes to get
better.

i don´t really have a lot of new news this week. we taught an awesome
lesson last night. this guy named Luciano had prayed to know how to
change his life and what he needed to do to become better on saturday.
and on sunday we showed up. he was crying as we taught him about the
restoration. he told us that he knew it was a miracle and that God
wanted him to do this. He has problems with alcohol for sure. that
much is a fact because he told us last night. the guy has had an
incredibly difficult life. like, he was a drug-dealer, he was already
in prison. he has already used lots of drugs. but he was an awesome
guy. so we will see where that can take us.

but i am good. i am jealous that Dad gets to play golf. i am glad that
Dave got my letter. i hope that he can come back to church. i'm glad
that you are getting that project done dad. i bet it will be
spectacular when it is finished. what is it exactly? haha

i am glad that people are getting over that cold. sounds nasty. i saw
little Jackson´s nose in that picture and it looks like he was
suffering with a very, very runny nose. i hope that you can lose your
3 pounds Morgan. We had an arm wrestling tournament on our way home
from Londrina. It was like a 8 hour trip, so people decided to have
fun and arm wrestling was our resort. i lost one time. My final
record was 17 and 1. My loss came at the very end. after i had beaten
EVERYBODY, who comes to the plate? the idaho boy. he reminds me a lot
of TJ. but my arms are still tight. i guess that means the gym will
destroy me at home.

megan is back on the radar eh? hey blake...cuidado com [essa moça]
menino....sua alma está em jogo. If you can tell me from what movie
that phrase comes, i will have to buy you ice cream when i get back.
lol

well...being the only american has definitely showed me one
thing....my portuguese is bomb. like, spectacular. people don´t ask me
if i am american anymore. they know i am a foreigner. but they
generally ask if i am from some other south american country. i just
tell them that i am from rio grande do sul. and that i am a gaúcho.

soooooo i guess that is all i have to say for now. i really want to
play golf. or any other sport really. basketball. or football (the
REAL football). baseball. fishing. i hope that the PGA is interesting
this year. i am curious to know what it will end up like. does tiger
woods still exist? what happened with him? is he going to be a threat
at any other point in his career?

well i love you guys. i thank you for all of your prayers and for your
support and for everything that you do to help me. i hope you have a
tubular week. say "oi!" to people there. love you all. peace!
