BOM DIA MINHA FAMILIA! March 17, 2009

hello everybody! so whats new with you guys, i am not sure if i told you
guys last week but i did get everyones letters and wrote you guys back, i
think i said something about them but i cant remember. so WHO IS EXCITED FOR
CONFERENCE!!!!........I AM!!!!! so ya conference is coming up fast and i am
way excited, it doesnt get any better the to hear a prophet of God talk to
you about what you can do to stay on the straight and narrow! well hope
everybody is doing well, i am not sure how much i said last week but i got
transfered to SOBRADINHO 2, WITH ELDER ALVES! he is a brazilian for
fortaleza, up in the north. my area is on the complete oppisite side of the
state of DF, but its a good city. i definitly miss santo antonio but i am
here now and we are working hard. the ward here is trying to divide into 2
wards and they are close so we have been workin alot from them to be able to
do that. the ward i am in is great, the members are awesome, they take care
of us alot here. the first week here was a little ruff though cuz my comp
only had one tranfer here andi was new and the area is HUGE so we had to
figure things out, plus when i got to the house, there was no map anywhere,
so that was interesting. but we got a map now and are working away here in
sobradinho! so can you believe that my companion never had a hambuger until
the mission, with his last comp, he never ate them at home, thats CRAZY!!!
so we made hamburgers today with the lawerys season salt, and i found some
barbaque sauce in brazilia, in an imported store,and we had
hamburgers.....IT WAS SO GOOD! except my house is missing alot of cookware,
so i eat my oatmeal in the morning from the saucepan...gotta LOVE THE
MISSION!!!!! well hope everyone is going well with all you people up there.
oh so you guys keep telling me about the snow an all that, well here its
like 85 to 90 and its always like that...hahah! expect now the winter season
is starting here and so at night it goes down to like 65, I LOVE IT! the
brasilians have like winter wear on and i am kickin it in my short sleeve
shirt and couldnt be happier. :) i will say one thing that just came to me,
now i am used to it but man brazil is so differnt, the food the houses and
espesically the addresses, man this last week trying to get used to the
addresses was somthing else, evcery city is differnt, its all crazy down
here. when i tell people that i didnt eat rice and beans in the untied
states, they are all suprised!!!! like...what do you eat then....and ya they
