Minha Nossa!

Bom Dia everyone! well i would like to thank those of you who sent me
letters....and i will try to get a response in the mail today! But from what
i hear everything seems to be going pretty well for all. Jill is making her
way back home ( cheesy phrase) Erin is about to start highschool and
driving!!! Kari is choosing ugly names for her new kid...haha jake is almost
out the door and going to be in Brasil with me! and well anne is still is
washington....( love ya sis)
well like i said you all seem to be doing very well, me on the other
hand....i am doing great! it seems weird to think about it but i have
already been in the office for 4 months now....!!! man time passes here. I
am not sure how much more time i will spend here but probably a few more
months. I think i will be here till like november, could even possible be
december, but we shall see. I know that you are all dying that i explain
more of what i do here in the office, i tend to put that i was just busy
during the week. I tend to put that becuase the stuff that i normally do is
just like normal office stuff..... i worry about the payments in the
mission, all the missionary houses, and whatever else may come up, which
almost everyday something tends to come up. so sometimes it is a little hard
to explain everything i do during the week. But once again plenty to keep me
busy. :) Things are starting to get al ittle bit busier becuase transfers
are coming up, next week is the last week of the transfer, so we are
finishing up some things for the elders arriving and leaving. these past few
days i have had to do alot of translating, i am the only american in the
office, and the president has this book that he gives to all the new elders
when they arrive, well it was always just in portuguese, and now he wants
the americans that arrive to have portuguese and english, so i am been
taking alot oftime to sit down and translate the `starter book`you could
call it. ya that has been very exhuasting, i dont think i want to be a
translator when i get home. haha
Anway as for the field work, it has been a really good week, that family
that we were teaching are progressing, although the dad cant get baptised
now, they are continuing to read and to learn more about the church. this
last week we have found a few families that have really showed some
interest. One of the families that we are teaching now are really
interested. They have like 10 people leaving in a little one room apartment,
but they are all very great people. It has been fun to visit and teach them,
they remind me of you guys, they are about the same ages, and like to joke
around. They have recently moved to brasilia from another state close by,
but they are really open people, willing to share whatever they can. They
are way cool! we have been able to teach a few other families that have been
progressing also, just alittle slower, but its been really cool to see the
progress of each of these families.
Jake i hope  you are getting excited for this man, there really isnt anythig
better to bring a new light into the lives of others, espeically when they
have never really had any light in there lives. you really get to see people
change!
Well once again i will try to get some letters out todao for you guys, but i
just want you all to know how much i love each and every one of you. i am so
grateful for my family, EU AMO VOCÊS!!!!
