whats up! SEPT 22, 2008

well hello again from good old gama centro! so first off transfers were today and if you are all wondering...i did get transfers so dont use the address in gama centro to send letters! but anyway i got transfered too.....GAMA LESTE! ha ha same city, same ward building, pretty much the same, but it is a new area which is nice and i will still get to see the new chapel in action so thats going to be cool. lets see oh ya i ate at subway today, just thought you all should know. so i need you all to do me a favor. so you all know that mom is sending a suitcase my way, and she said that everyone wanted to help put things in it. well what ever you were going to buy dont! instead everyone put your money together becuase i need a quad set of scrips with 2 scripture cases. dont worry about sending anything else, i told mom about it so if you would mind just give your money to her and she will get them, cuz i need some names on them too. and i am talking abou tlike 10 dollars here, it doesnt need to be more then that. so if you could all do that it would be very helpfull! THANKS! anyway someone was telling mom that we dont knock doors down here, we clap. its true, it was a little strange at first but now when i knock....its weird! haha everyone here has gates and what not, there is not one house that you can just walk up to the door and knock, it doesnt exist. so you have to stand outside the gate and clap your hands till someone comes out. i dont knw why they do this becuase it is very ineffective. someone can be clapping and the houses on either side think its for them, if you clap really loud you can get 4 or 5 houses to come outside, its kinda fun to see how many house in one clap. you just got to be really loud....hahah but really its kinda lame. anyway yes we clap. mom was asking what i did all week and some things i do with investigators...well we teach them..ha ha jk well we have some meetings during the week and fri is always the planning day so we spend more time in the house to plan for the next week. but other then that we are always outside doing something. talking to some one, in someones house, walking somewhere. you just dont stop here, we do get to stop once a day...and thats at night when you sleep, other then that we are always doing something. but its great! i am having a great time, and it just seems like it is flying by. i am getting transfered and oh i was thinkin it will be good cuz i will be really close to that ladies house when she gets here with the siutcase...so it all works out. anyway things are awesome here. i am getting another brasilian companion. i know who he is but i cant spell his name at the moment so i wont even try, so you will have to wait to find out who it is. anyway today we have to go to brasilia to make the comp switch. and we will have a little fam night with all the missionaries and those that are going home, so that will be pretty sweet. elder buck if you rememebr was my comp in the ctm, he is in the office now, so now i got the hook ups in the office! as they say down here...i have a fish in the office! and no i havent been cooking anything new latly but i had a bunch of members ask me to come to there house and show them how to make the choclate chip cookies.... haha well i think i had better get going. love ya guys tons! hope all is well oh and i put some pics on fly shutter so you can check those out.
LOVE YA!
