SNOW!!!! February 17, 2009

can you believe it.....it was snowing down here the otherday!!! ok so i hope
you didnt believe that, cuz its brazil and the only thing that happens down
here is SUN AND RAIN!!! so the rainy season is starting to end. the month of
march is when the rainy season starts to die out and the `winter`here
starts. if you could call it that....its still hot and dry its just the
absence of rain. haha but ya gotta love it baby! well as for me, things are
going great, my district leader and my zone leader are going home. both of
which, were my companions. elder nunes and elder leite. my first 2 comps. so
for the last district meeting next week, our district is going to get up
extra early and meet at the chapel where we have district meetings and make
a huge american breakfast for elder nunes ( my district leader) who is going
home!! pancakes and maple and eggs and maybe some bacon, the bacon here is a
little weird so maybe not. but definitly pancakes and eggs. so me and my
comp are definitly looking forward to that. well this last week has been a
really good week! we were able to find a few new families that are really
interested and one family that we were teaching last transfer to kick things
into high gear. :) one of the families we took to church with us on sunday
and it was really great. they got to konw the ward and leadership and the
best part is they really liked it! the only problem we are having is the dad
has a addiction....to football, he is always playing futebol on sundays and
pretty much everyday of the week, so its hard to find him with his fmily.
only when we get there the same time he does from work can we catch him to
teach him. but its great, they are a great little family of 4 kids. it has
really been an humbling experience to work here in santo antonio, it really
makes you apperiate the little tihngs, like havig a place to live, haveing
good health, having a loving family behind you, and a companion that
islookig out for ya. things have definitly been going well here though. me
and elder myers have had plenty of work to keep us busy through out the
week. whats crazy is this transfer only has 3 more weeks left! thats
nothing! time seems to be going to fast, i never have enough time in a
transfer to do everything i want to do, you start to learn how precious your
time really is and that you cant waste it for nothing. you have to take
every second your givin and do your best. being here a year on the mission
has put alot of things into new light for me. my way of thinking has
definitily changed. there are all those little things that we think about,
all those worldly things that keep us busy, but what really matters is where
we end up in the end, and what we do now that can change where we go. some
times it seems like its just today and we can worry about that one thing
some other day...but in reality we have to do everything we can do today,
even those little things, cuz those little things add upto be big things in
the end. well i seem to be rambling....hope everyone is have a great week
and an awesome snow season....i miss the snow so much! :) well i love each
one of you guys, thank you so much for your love and support, it means alot.
hope everyone has a otissimo semana!!!

EU TE AMO!!!!!
