yoyo momma! so this week was honestly really really good. the highlights are that we baptized AMANDA (!!!!), I got to go back and do splits in Freguesia and see how some old friends are doing, and today we finally climbed Pico de Jaraguá and it was soooo dope. We got to feed WILD MONKEYS MOM! it was like a dream come true. lol ive got tons of videos and pics.

Im sure education week will be awesome. im not completely sure what it entails but it seems cool and like you will learnd a lot. But yeah that sucks about your team teacher. Now youll have an excuse to put a little more of the load on her later in the year. lol. That is a huge class. hopefully they will be obedient and easy to keep under control. Thats fun about noelles ward! Who all will you do education week with?? with ama and noelle??

WHAT?!?!!? im so sad that i wont be with parker. That sucks, i cant believe that there will now be 6 wards from that original prosper ward. holy moly. so im a little confused. they already have the land to build that is out near ama and pop pops house? But we will stay in our same building right, even when the new one is done?? So I cant imagine there are a ton of baptisms in our wards, so its gotta just be everyone and their mom moving out to prosper right??

How did my bathroom end up flooding?? So will you take out the sink of my room and just make the room a little bigger and then add another sink in the hall closet? or will you add another shower/bath in the hall closet too?

Ok well right now, i think im learning more than anything how to resolve problems. Im with a tougher comp but we are working through everything really well. Im also learning more and more how to be obedient and to work hard. We had another "companionship inventory" this week, but it helped a lot and its going well. Hes just a tough guy and odd sometimes but most of the time hes cool. I have had a really strong feeling lately that this experience is going to help me with my future family. so that is pretty cool. The responsibilities i have is really just to check up on the district leaders every night and then call the other companionships every once in a while. its a little exhausting. we are working so hard and getting home at 9:30 and then im not getting to bed any earlier than 10:30 like i was earlier used to. but im liking being an example and i hope im being a good missionary that people can look up to. We also give a lot of advice and teaching. People will usually call their zone leaders for this kind of stuff so that is a cool part. Im eating better than ever and loving the food a ton. I find new stuff i like almost every week. its awesome. I feel super healthy, just need a little sleep. haha. 

For this next week we are focusing on a couple that we are teaching Analíci and Célio. They are praying and looking for an answer to be baptized this next week at our stake conference. should be an awesome sunday and im hoping that President will be there to speak to everyone. 

ALSO GREATTTT NEWSSSS!! GUESS WHO IS COMING TO TALK TO OUR MISSION THIS WEEK? ELDER M. RUSSELL BALLARD AND ELDER SOARES!!! THE FIRST BRAZILIAN APOSTLE AND THE PRESIDENT OF THE 12!! ITS GONNA BE SOOOO SICK IM PUMPED. WE WILL SEE THEM ON FRIDAY AT THE CHAPEL NEAR THE TEMPLE OF SAO PAULO! 

I love you momma! sorry i asked a lot of questions i think but try to answer them. miss you like crazy!

I will go to Jardim Simos and be with an elder I dont know. I will be the senior companion which is really cool. Hes a brazilian, just finished his traning, and has about only 3 months on the mission. Im so glad and relieved. i was just ready to leave aguiar. he is just a difficult person sometimes.  love you mom.  yeah that sounds really difficult and probably something that would be really hard to do at the mission office haha. ok thank you for looking it up.  I love you so freaking much mom! You are my hero! Sorry that it has to be all annoying like this. I will defini...

Good morning my sweet boy! How was your week? I’m hoping there were some baptisms and the people followed through on their commitments:) Did you love conference? One of my favorite things about it was how I knew we were sitting there doing the exact same thing at the same time! That was comforting to me. I absolutely loved it! If you didn’t get a chance to watch the women’s broadcast you should try. I will send you an Ensign conference edition when it gets here so you can read all the talks again and study them. I feel like I received many personal messages from the talks. So many of them focused on our ability to stay faithful and receive comfort during trials... not one minute of our suffering is wasted. It is all for our good and our growth. That was one of the messages that I took away and feel strengthened by.  I also felt a recommitment to strengthening my conversion. That also seemed to be a theme of conference. Are we living the gospel by going through the motions and check...

Hey buddy!    I’m glad I finally get a chance to sit down and write. Baby stuff has taken over my life but we are very excited to have Harper with us in the next few weeks. Excited for you to meet your new little cousin when you return. Sounds like you are doing really well! I know you’ve had minor struggles and home sickness along the way, but it’s good to see you pumped and positive. Sounds like you’re doing a great job!     Hey listen, I know everyone has chimed in on the girl situation and you’re probably tired of talking about it at this point, but I wanted to try to talk to you about it as well because I’ve had the unwelcome pleasure of going through 3 life changing heart breaks that I never thought I’d recover from so I can speak to you from experience and hopefully put some perspective on things.     I had been with Alicia for 5 years, we were in love but it was more than that. It was how the family loved her, how much I loved her family and ...
