Man, the MTC has been great, and I´ve learned a lot of things, but I´m kind of excited to leave. I´ve been sitting in the same classroom 8 hours a day for the past two months and I´m ready for a change :) Joao Pessoa is going to be so different in so many ways. There will be sun, and heat and I won´t be hanging out with 200 missionaries everyday; just one. There will probably be more bugs, and different food. I´m looking forward to walking around a lot more and losing the 20 pounds I put on here. I think the last time I weighed myself I was 177 pounds. I think I´ll loose it pretty quick though; especially if I get some sort of tape worm :P haha. I don´t think I will, but it could happen ya know.
This week we went into the middle of Sao Paulo and handed out Books of Mormon. It was a ton of fun. People here are really nice. I´m definitely not fluent in Portuguese, but I was able to have good conversations with everyone I met. Elder Anderson and I handed out 5 books and met a lot of nice people. Usually we start our all our conversations with, "Do you believe in Christ?", and they´ll always turn around at least to say, "yes", but the last man we talked to said "no", and it totally changed the direction of our conversation. He was interested to hear what we had to say about God and prophets and the bible and the Book of Mormon, and we ended up giving him a copy of our book. It was really cool. Today was our last p day, so I bought a few books at the temple, and a Brazil jersey up the street. I cant wait to see what cool things I´ll find in the north.
I want my brothers and sisters to write and tell me how school is going. Ben is the only one who has written me in 2 months! What is this! Thanks so much for your love and support. I´ll try my best to represent the family well here in Brazil, and I´ll try to make my next email more exciting! A lot will happen this week! I love you all lots.
