Hey, things are good here. If you haven't heard there is this epidemic of the swine flu here. They can't seem to get rid of it, because everyone is always in contact with so many people. The buses, work, etc. And the virus stays on objects up to 12 hours or so after a person infected touches it. It's crazy but its okay. We are still good. Not symptoms or anything so we are just staying very cautious.

But as for last week. They didn't show up so we just played amongst ourselves. Not too bad but could have been better if we had more people.

That's cool that you had the chance to talk with Jordan. That's crazy he is in Singapore. Do his pics look good?

But as for the week. Things went well. We ran into 2 different people who didn't speak much Portuguese. One was from Czech Republic and was here for vacation with her Brasilian boyfriend. They met in the US. That's crazy that they only speak in English to each other but its neither of their 1st languages. And the other guy was this missionary for the 4 corner church. And hes been in Brasil for 4 years and has a Brasilian wife but I guess he forgot English because when he was talking to us wasn't very good and he didn't know much Portuguese either. So IDK kinda crazy that I have only been here for 6months and can hold a good conversation. Maybe is saying something about what we are doing? Idk. Ill leave it for your imaginations :)

But we have gotten a lot of rain up til yesterday. Rained 2 weeks straight. It was crazy. And it didn't help with this H1N1 around either because people are freakin out. But we just walk in ignorance because we don't watch the news lol

Umm. O yeah. If you have time listen to Alex Boye. He is super good and he is Mormon. He sings in the MoTab (Mormon Tabernacle Choir).

This week has been pretty hard. A lot of people are telling us to pass by and then they aren't in their houses or they hide from us even though we saw them. It's whack. They can't just tell us no thank you?

Well that's all for me this week. Have a good week. Take care!
