Elder David Short's Letter Week 1

Oi Minha Familia!
I miss you all, but it's hard to think of home with all the mind blowing awesomeness that is going on. I was late getting to the CTM so I had two companheiros before I found meu assigned companheiro. Meu companheiro is Elder Grandy, he's pretty much the most awesome guy ever. He's from West Jordan and is scottish in heritage, so mention of his claymore made him my favorite person. My district is made up of Elders and Sisters who are waiting for their visas to Brazil. The other companionship in my room, Elder Hales and Elder Gubler, are also going to Goiania. Today is only day four, but I already feel like I'm getting a grasp of the language. We started Portuguese by learning how to pray, and all our prayers since then have been in Portuguese. Today in out class we worked on bearing our testimony. Elders Patterson and Buttars in my district already know some Portuguese so they've been helping a lot during MDT. I get so excited that I feel like I'm going to defenistrate something. Words cannot describe how Belezer it is every waking moment here. Everyday we here about other Elders who's visas have come in, and it gives us hope. Thursday eight visas came through for another district. Our branch president is Irmao Braithwait. He's really nice, and he served his mission in Brazil when his mission was half the country. My head is too full of the things going on right now, that I'm having trouble thinking of things to say. All I can think of is how excited I am to go out and serve. Eu voces amos. Till next week. I look forward to hearing from you all.
