Letter from 11/15/11

Ola minha familia!

 

Como vao voces?? I never hear from you guys anymore! Tell Courtney to get writing! and Kari too! Also tell Kari that I love her.

 

Now that it is in November, I have enjoyed the awesomeness of singing Christmas songs ALL DAY!!! Despite my companions dislike of Christmas music before Thanksgiving. And yes I said COMPANIONS again. Elder Scofield and I got a new edition to our companionship. His name is Elder Parker and he's waiting on his visa. He's the last in his district so they added him to ours. He's been here for 11 weeks. 11!!! He's pretty cool. He's from Washington and we get along pretty well. He's a very enjoy the simple things and smell the roses kind of guy like me. And very unlike Elder Scofield, haha. I think it's an east coast/west coast thing.

 

I'm going to go ahead and answer a few questions Sister Bowles asked me in here because I know she reads the blog. No one gives me the comments from my blog. Are there comments? Are they good? Will someone keep me in the loop here?! We have 5 hours of study time that we're on our own. During this time, we study whatever we want and however we want. There's not really much to choose from. Either Portuguese or the Gospel, and most often the Gospel in Portuguese. We can also go on LDS.org and do stuff. There's some great stuff on there. For instance, Elder Scofield had never seen Johnny Lingo before and wouldn't you know it, it's on LDS.org! So we watched that. Favorite quote in Portuguese: "Oito caos????" And about the Halloween party, our Italian friends set it up. They left the day afterwards and it was a very tear-filled departure. But we inherited a bunch of their stuff like nice chairs, nice desks, some good smell spray stuff, and noise cancelling headphones! Those headphones are great for when you just want to punch your companion in the face. Just kidding....kind of.

 

I don't have many stories to tell today so I will respond to a few things people have said to me. This may seem kind of spacey but those to whom these comments are directed at will understand them.

 

First off, Rachel kissed a guy in Italy?!?!

 

Also so everyone knows, I can send one email a week to my family so until I'm out of the MTC I won't be emailing anyone else. This stops me from contacting or thanking anyone who's address I don't have unfortunately.

 

Please thank Uncle John for me for his awesome, spiritual, and hilarious emails.

 

Why the heck are you making something awesome like Turducken when I'm NOT home?!?!?!

 

I am grateful for an awesome family, to be alive during Elder Holland's apostleship, and for the oppotunity to serve the people of Brazil.

 

Also tell Justin I don't get his political jokes without context which I can't get because I'm a missionary.

 

This is a shoutout to Ladawn for sending me the most letters last week! I love you Aunt Dawnie!

 

Well I love all you guys! Tudo bom!
