Hey family. How are you all doing? So i just heard crazy new. NO MORE POUCH LETTERS IN BRASIL. Dont know why but it just happened for some reason. So dont send any more letters pouch. Only mission ties, or directly to the mission, or email.
Anyway dad thank you for sending those vitamins to me. It is crazy. I ran out the day before i got the package and then i was restocked that quick. Also those almonds were awesome. I loved them. Also, mom thank you so much for loving me so much and continually sending me cookies. They are greatly appreciated. However, i dont know how to phrase this but, you cant send them to me anymore. Not that i dont want them but once im out of the ctm i wont be able to get them anymore. Maybe you already knew that but just wanted to let you know. It was amazing while it lasted though, thank you.
So jordan and shayna. Whats up. Jordan how was the b-day man. Hopefully you guys were able to take a break and have a fun time. Thats a bummer about the place in vegas. Shayna those real estate classes sound sweet. I cant wait to do some of that stuff with you. Also, one reason why devin durrant might sound familiar is because one of the top rookies in the nba right now is kevin durrant who i am sure you have heard dallin and i talking about. But those stories are sweet.
Mom you were wondering what i spoke on last week. It was pray always and study the scrips. Dad i really feel bad about the letter you tried to write through mission ties but didnt go through. I know what you are talking about. It is lame. My advice is to write the letter first in microsoft word and save it and then copy and paste into mission ties or email. That is what i do every time because so many elders have lost their letters that way.
So this is the last week at the ctm. It is awesome. It has gone by so fast. So cool story about proselyting. It seems as if bums like getting up into my face. So the bus dropped off our district in the middle of sao paulo and within 5 minutes i had a bum up in my face wanting to fight me. He was yelling at me saying that i was stealing stuff from him and he kept pounding his chest saying he wanted to fight me. My comp was like 10 feet away talking to another guy. This guy yelling at me was obviously crazy so i just smiled and was just saying like alright maybe later. I couldnt keep from laughing dont know why. I mean this guy was furious and really wanted to fight me. I had no fear. This guy was like 5'8". There was nothing he could do. Thats why it is so funny. Well also i talked to this one guy for about 20 minutes trying to get him to take a pass along card. He said he believed in the bible but doesnt believe christ is living. How does that work? So i tried convincing him otherwise but was unsuccessful. Then i talked to two other guys for about 40 minutes. Guarantee if i kept with them for a week and a half they would be baptized. Gave them a bom and pass along cards. I cant believe thinking back on it how i could have talked that long to someone only in port. Crazy.
Well anyway if you are still reading this week i suggest john 2-4. sorry i forgot last week. Meant to say moroni 7.
One last thing. In the sao paulo temple they have tons of awesome mosaics. One of joseph smith first vison, christ coming to the americas and arnold friebergs paintings of alma baptizing at waters of mormon and john the baptist baptizing jesus are in the baptismal font area. And just to tell you these mosaics are all huge. About 12 feet by 8 feet. They are so amazing.
Love you all. Next week ill be writing from goiania.
