Week Three

Oi Minha Familha

This place just keeps getting better and better, especially when I get boxes of halloween cookies. At this last tuesday devotional the head of security came up to the mic and reminded us that we don't stand for hymns and that the only time we stand is when an apostle is present. During our opening hymn who should walk in, but Russell M. Nelson. It is so amazing to listen to an apostle who is speaking directly to you about what you are doing at that moment. It looks like because of the elections going on in Brazil that signing off on visas moves at a snails pace, so in two months I'll probably be writing from South Carolina. We had our second practice investigating experience this week. My ability to speak Portuguese in down, but I'm glad to say that my ability to understand Portuguese is up. I don't think I've told you this yet but the Hymn Secret Prayer is much better in Portugeuese. The first day of class another district came in and sang it with us. We later had to sing it in english at a fireside in English and it was so boring. My district loves all the goodies you've sent, but they only lasted about two hours. As part of our goals as a district we must give testimony at least three times a day in Portuguese, and we aren't allowed to speak English during meals. We'll be going to the temple later today for endowments. See you all in two years,
