ai familia! JANUARY 13, 2009

how is everyone!!! well its good to hear from all of you...wait.... so what
is going on up there, its been awhile since i have heard from you guys. if
you guys sent stuff through mission ties i should be getting it this week if
not next week. but until i get transfered thats just the way it will have to
go...the slow way. so from the few things that i have heard things have been
going pretty well up there. i guess there isnt much to talk about cuz no one
has sent me anything. so i will just have to let you guys know how its going
down here. well today is interviews and me and elder myers are headed into
celandia to have our interviews with the president. and becuase we will be
in a big city...we are definitily going to mcdonalds. well about santo
antonio, things have been really good here, this is a really good area to
work in. the members are awesome and the area has a lot of people that are
very willing to recieveyou. we found a family last week through the little
cards that we give out here. we took the joy to the world dvd to them and it
was great. its a family of like 12, they have a bunch of people living in
their house there. they all were really receptive and all really wanted to
visit the church. we are going to go visit them again today. ps mom everyone
has been loving the smarties... i have been giving them out to the kids in
the streets and the kids we are teaching, its awesome. the funny thing is
the candy says made in canada. anywho, me and my comp have been going at it
with the smores everynight! loving it! we just use the microwave, we tried
to build a fire but it didnt work so we just went with the microwave and its
not to bad. oh and just a question, mom why did you buy the peter pan peanut
butter, i havent seen it for a long time. it was just funny cuz the same day
i got my package i was in brasilia and we found a store that had peanut
butter, it was the peter pan kind but it was like 15 ries....way to
expensive...just weird that the same day i got that peanut butter. anwyay
the package was awesome, thanks angain everyone...kari your package was
awesome too! thanks! so i dont think ihave told you alot about my comp but
his name is elder myers and he is really reall shy. so i have been trying to
get him out of his comfort zone...his bubble. he is a way cool kid but very
shy so its been fun. we have made some contacts where he speaks in english
and i translate to portuguese...jsut to shake things up, its pretty
sweet.well i have a few more photos but they will have to wait till next
week to get on here cuz i didnt bring my camara. this last week we made a
trade with my district leader..that was interesting. he came to my area and
we spent the day working here, but he forgot to give his comp the keys to
the house so we had to take the bus to his city at the end of the night,
which was like 1 hour and then sleep there. so me and elder myers slept on
the floor and definilty found a bunch of bugs...i wont say what kind but
lets just say that i didnt sleep much, but it was cool, we ordered pizza
that night and all that good stuff. so we only did the trade for 1 day but
it was cool, more mission experiences. well time to go, i have to go catch
my bus to celandia for the interveiws, so love ya guys tons thanks for
everything!!!!
hope everyone has a good week!!! LOVE YA
ELDER DAVIS!
