Hey you guys! whats up?! It´s only been a couple days since I last wrote, but I feel like every day has been a race... I feel like every second is a teaching experience now, and the training really doesn´t stop. I feel like I have a million things to do every day. But I like it when life is that way. It gets way easier to sleep at night, and I´m more excited to wake up in the morning. Elder Kutomi is doing well. we get along well and we´re working hard together. The greatest blessing I have is that he already speaks Portuguese... so I won´t have to teach him the language. He also served as a missionary in São Paulo for 3 months before serving a full time mission, so he has experience teaching. He´s really young (18), and has never lived away from home before, so there will be a lot of little lessons of growing up that I´ll have to teach him, but some of those things will take time, and he´ll have to learn for himself. The work is going really well. We are teaching a ton of great people, and we should have a lot of baptisms this month. This next 5 weeks will definitely be hard, but I´m going to learn a ton of stuff, and I´m excited. In the mission, they call the trainers dads, and the trainees sons. I really do feel like a dad in a lot of respects now, and i think it will help me learn to be a better dad in the future. I don´t have a lot of other things to write about... I love you guys, and I want you to know that I´m doing well. I´m not having any nervous break downs, and my district is great. The spirit is strong, and like I said, I´m learning a ton. Thanks for the letters and emails! The church is true! Love, Elder Forsyth
