Year Two, Letter Thirty-five

wow. well lots of news from the home front. osama was assasinated
finally? great. Presidente told us today. we have received new
commands in all areas that have muslim colonies - meaning, my city,
Foz do Iguaçu, and other muslim cultural regions. we need to have an
emergency pack ready and a local member aware that at any time, we
could show up at their doorstep to spend the night to avoid our homes.
we need to take different routes home at all times. we need to avoid
any large area that could bring unwanted attention. we can´t speak
english commonly in public. we have to be ready for any revengeful act
from muslims against americans. good thing the majority of our mission
doesn´t have muslims. just cascavel and foz do iguaçu.

we had stake conference this weekend. super amazing. guess who
presided...PRESIDENT MONSON! and Elder Holland spoke as well! The
catch? it was just through satellite. but still...so tight. i loved
the talks. amazing. we had a spiritual feast. lol

raulino and elaine are good. they are set up for saturday. but the
baptism could be sunday. we visited them yesterday and elaine was
resting because she hurt her back really bad.

me and griner are bomb. like...seriously so legit. we are working our
butts off. pretty difficult. but we are doing well. we are pretty bomb
friends already. i am really helping him with portuguese.

i love the book of mormon. i started over and finished first nephi
today. why was nephi such a baller? to those who don´t understand
"baller," why was nephi such an absolutely amazing person? is there
ever a moment where he isn´t the best example ever? i want to be like
nephi.

dad - the t-minus was completely unnecessary. haha. i hope jake starts
to get back in gear. i will get on his case when i get home. wow...i
can actually say that? "when i get home?" weird. i hope you kill it
in the golf tourney. i bet i will need some lessons.

mom - griner is good. he teaches well. very basic. but well. i love
being his trainer. thank you ALL for your prayers and your support. i
know God is blessing us. i hope everything went alright with you and
dad in the photo shoot. i wanna sleep at 7:00 sometimes. lol but it
doesn´t work out.

stu - i am so not skeletor. and i don´t know why i haven´t sent photos
home. my camera is back getting fixed. which blows. and don´t try and
make me trunky. it is impossible. literally. i bet the fast and
furious was just as epic as the others right? amazing acting? hot
girls? lol but i don´t work very much in the favellas morgan. just
sometimes. griner needs to get a little scared. lol but i will get
home soon-ish. but i don´t know if i will be able to make fun of
people. i am gunna be weird bro.

moe - HAPPY ANNIVERSARY!!!! Stuart, too. You guys are old. lol. 3
years?? long time. but it is awesome huh? is jack really gunna eat
sand? that would blow. haha but he can get his stomach pumped :)

lauren - you are going to move again?! wow. and tell me some stories :)

blake - conte algumas histórias também. como tá indo as coisas com....a vida? :)

MOTHER´S DAY CALL! i will inform you later this week. we need to
confirm it still.
