yoyoyo momma! ok so first of all that girl from noelles ward is a hottie for sure. I feel like ive seen her in noelles ward before actually. DO you know where she is serving in dallas right now? and how much time does she have? Maybe i will ask noelle for her email(: what do you think?
I love the pics you sent! The family get togethers i think will get more common for you guys now! its fun that everyone seems close!

Sooooo this week was a crazy one! lots has changed! We had something called Mission Tour with a 70 named Elder Gonzaga. It was aight, i think i was expecting a little more but i learned a good amount still. They talked a lot about working with members and its something me and elder Rodrigues have put into practice this week! We also had another Leadership Meeting for the mission with the 70 and we had kinda a question and answer time which was cool with him. There really are some studs here in the church in brazil. Guys that have been amazing examples for me in my life. Our stake president right now is literally incredible. He is an absolute stud and i look up to him so much. 
Saturday we went and marked a marriage!!!! the 20th of october! Then the baptism will be that night! can you believe it! Families are sooooo awesome and im so happy with them! Alessandra and Lucianno also brought the kids of their neighbors to church this week and we marked baptismal dates with them for the 7th of october! They were super well recepted at church and they loved it. One of the girls in our ward that literally has like 10 years old took them to the baptismal font after church and got them super excited. I was like niggggga this girl has visionnnn!!!! I was pumped. We also had another lady in church named Lúcia. She is from our english class and got up by herself and took the bus to church! The night before we visited her and her son whose like 55 was kinda trying to bible bash with us a little and he told us the BoM isnt true. So im sure she gets an earfull at home but she still went to church on sunday and said she felt incredible. Shes passed through some things at other churches that made her never want to enter into another church again. She told us that she felt something completely different in our church and that the doctrine was so much more profound than just "praise jesus!!" She felt the spirit super strongly and accepted last night to be baptized THIS sunday! It was a hugeeee blessing! We are feeling super blessed right now and are seeing our work come together a little. So thats 5 people until now that seem firm for baptism! im super pumped to find even more this week!

So yesterday I got my whole toenail removed!! i had an ingrown toenail (again) and the doctor decided to take the whole nail off! I was a little scared at first but its all good. Just gotta take good care of it the next few days. But its a super rich hospital so i know the doctors are trustworthy and you have nothing to worry about. 

To answer your questions: I do pray for my safety sometimes. I should do it every day tho. I feel safe. If anything I would just be robbed, they would never hurt missionaries. So i walk with just a little bit of money. 
Yes i have taken cold showers here! they do suck! especially on a chilly day in a house without air control! 
For dinner lots of times its just a hamburger patty or chicken type thing. Sometimes i just dont even eat anything cause we eat so much at lunch and i usually eat a snack at like 5 o clock. 

I prayed this week that you and dad would be able to keep your minds off everyone being away from the house so i guess my prayers were answered! Pretty soon we will all be together again dont worry! 
Sorry about the pool pump at the house that really sucks. But im glad you are having other business other than that!! that is awesome! Look for a house for us our there in the country!!!

I love the second quote about how and why. Its really true. When I feel determined here on the mission, i feel like i can do anyhting. I never question if we can accomplish something and the mission really just goes smooth when i have the right mindset about it. 
Im glad you talked with the cordys! Their son is a freaking stud. I literally am just amazed as i read about his misison. ITs crazy sometimes! That kid is a stud and really has dedicated himself like no else. 

I LOVE YOU MOMMA! THANK YOU  FOR ALL YOU DO FOR ME HERE

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 ...
