Subject: one week down
Hello from Brazil ! ! Its winter here so it will get as cold as 70, some times60. . . . . . .winter?? pppfff. well this sure has been a horse of a different color down here. 2nd day here we started our potuguese and it was so fun. the next day was pretty good too. third day it felt like i hit the rocky dirt and started making no progress. its been muito muito frustrating.yesterday did go alittle better tho. elder cutler ,my companheiro, said he has never seen some one work so hard on something. another wards i haventbeen messing around since i got here. one plus thing is that we are the only ones in our district that have Brazilail room mates. so every night we will read together. them from a english and us from portugues. that way we can help each other. this morning we got to go to the temple and it was muito bom. andyes it was in english. the bus ride was half the fun. it felt like a highspeed car case through tons of traffic, we were all over the place. lastnight at devotional we watched a dvd of a talk that elder holland gave a week ago at the provo mtc. this talk was so good. i have never heard any one yell like that while talking. i dont know if you can find it anywhere to watch but i would try to look it up for sure. and plus you get to see evan singing in it haha. i also saw other people i know in it. speaking of evan i ran into some elders who are going to mosambuiq (or how ever you spell that)and one who is from there i told the ones going to look for a elder dunn and tell him hi. my time is almost up so talk to you all later. im looking forward to your letters for letters love you all
