Tuesday June 3, 2008 what up family!

hello again family! wow it seems like so much stuff happens in between our
letters everyweek. well this last week i had the oppurtuniy to go to the
dedication of the curtiba temple which was so freakin cool. its amazing the
spirit that is there with you as you watch it happen miles and miles away.
then on mon i got to go to marina hall in brasilia to hear the
prophet...wow. it was so cool elder nelson and his wife spoke and then the
prophet spoke and wow the spirit was so strong. the prohet spoke on
choices...and how the choices we make determine our destiny. we need to do 4
things to help make those choices that will help us get to that destiny that
we want....we need to seek to listen, seek to learn, seek to labor, and seek
to love. i love it when pres. monson talks, you can feel the love that he
has for each of the millions of members of this church and the sprirt that
he brings with him. its amazing. it was like a spiritual boost for the rest
of the week. it was really cool. anyway next week is zone conf. and its the
last one iwth pres. aidukitus, then we get our new pres. so that will be
good i guess. i love pres aidukitus, he is so awesome. he really motivates
you to work. its awesome. so there is a new elder in our district who went
to olympus high and he konws some of the people i know...i didnt know him,
but knowing the same people kinda creates this bond when you are so far
away. its cool. and i get to see elder buck my ctm comp everynow and then.
its awesome cuz we were really close, so thats always nice. anyway things
are good i did get the package i just havent recieved it yet. it made it to
the office and an elder picked it up for me, its at the setor sul mission
area which is right next to mine so i will get the package toomorrow during
our district meeting...so i am like freakin out....PEANUT BUTTER! i am so
freakin stoked. but ya things are good. i am learing stuff everyday from the
language to just how much the lord will bless you if you work hard and put
all you have into this work. this week has been so good so far. the
dedication of the temple and then the prophet. it has really strenghten my
testimony of the truthfullness of this church! and that we really do have a
living prophet on the earth today, how cool is that! no other church as
that....well i cant think of anything else. i am having a great time serving
and i am so glad i am here. i miss you guys tons, but i am so glad i have
the oppurtuniy to serve. from what mom was telling me it sounds like you
