LOL I always send 2 emails a week. I don't know why just one for inspiration and one for updates. I guess because there's always two from you as well. But I think it works out. I´m glad to be able to talk back with you. (From RM: It was really cool. He sent the inspirational one below and he was still at the computer when I replied asking for an update)
Everything is great. This new AP thing is harder than I thought and I am super swamped with other meetings and trying to catch up with all of my members in my district. We got another district in today so 6 more elders to talk to every night on top of catching up with my American Elders and my Brazilians. Its very fun though. I am picking up the language better because I have to talk to the Brazilians everyday and make sure they are doing alright as well. Its awesome how they put Brazilians in our room to help us learn the language and its just so amazing to learn about their culture. Monday night we had a little devotional because our Brazilians were leaving because they only stay for 3 weeks. But it was awesome. We were all speaking Portuguese and the spirit was so strong. One of the guys who always played around was crying. It was awesome to see that side of him. The Lord brings out the best in all of us.
As for everything else it has been awesome. The Sao Paolo Temple is so awesome and we went to the police station today to get our ids for proselyting and what not since we will be in the country for longer then a year. The days have been going well but long and tomorrow I have to give a little seminar for the new missionaries so that should be fun too. Again I hope you all like the email I sent before (from RM: see below) and I don't know what else you want to know.
I sent a small memory card of pictures to you so I hope that gets to you but it was free so if it doesn't get there I don't mind. I guess they have some problems sometimes with the mail, but I just hope they don't worry bout mine. :) o well. Its all good.
Well that is all for me this week. There is so much I could write but than I wouldn't have anything to write in my journal. Mom, I hope you keep these as well so I can fill in the spaces of my journal. Thanks. Take care everyone. Love you lots!
This is his inspirational email for the week:
