Hey everyone.

This week was pretty good, we have been working hard but we didn't have much success. We will try to do a thing we call a school project, where we go to a school and do a service like an English class, talk about US culture or something like that and just show that we are more than just robots walking around lol. Today was crazy. We were playing soccer and one of the Elders passed out and we had to call the ambulance to come pick him up. Idk what happened with him but it was crazy.

We met some pretty cool people this week and we hope to continue talking with them and helping them change their lives. There's this guy named Marcio and he is a big skater kind of guy lol. He has big holes in his ears, tattoos and what not. And he is super cool. We met him yesterday. It was the 1st gate that we clapped at that night and he came home early from work. They moved there a week earlier. Its crazy how things work out lol. It was actually really cool.

Other than that, I think we will have a division with the Elders from Bairro Alto. But we have a lot of divisions with Tebas as well. This Sunday I was on this division with a kid named Jonatas. It was super good. We taught a lesson and he told me that he had never shared his testimony like that before. And then we talked a little bit about life and I'm glad that I had an opportunity to talk to him. I hope he continues doing what he's doing. Other than that everything else has been pretty good. We should have a couple of dates marked here in the next couple of weeks and hope to help some people out before the new year comes so they can start fresh in a new life for 2010.

We had interviews with the President yesterday and also had training. It was good. Taught about how to become a better professor and stuff. Well, that's all for this week. Hope everythings going well on the home front. I have gotten a few letters and so if you sent one don't worry I will write you back as soon as possible. But we don't have a post office in our area so I have to wait until the 18th when we have mission conference to send everything so everyone's Christmas cards will be a little late but I hope they get to your houses before you go back to school and what not.. Well have a good week.
