Parker's 1st E-mail!

hey everyone! ya everything is going great here. today was is my first p day so this has been the only opportunity for me to check anything or ever send write a letter since its against mission rules to write on any other day besides p day. i sent one in the mail today but its not very long since my p days almost over. me and my companion had to search around for an hour just to get my password and username. haha i dont know how you thought i would get it in this email if i cant even log in... anyways i have one now and im getting ready to go walk around for the first time. it takes a week for all letters to get to where they need to be so you wont even get mine til next tuesday. the mail isnt sketchy here also they wont steal your stuff i dont even know how that rumor got started. im doing really great here so far. its the best decision ive ever made. when i was getting ready to leave everyone was telling me how much a sacrifice this was but it honestly is no sacrifice at all. if anything all i see is everyone sacrificing for me. there are so many volunteers here and everything im receiving here is priceless. the food is pretty good but it passes right through you. im probably going to poop my pants at least one time on my mission. we went to the temple today and it was very nice. it was the biggest one ive ever seen and the inside was muito bonito. although this place holds up to 600 theres only about 150 people here but thats because people just keep comin in an out. the brazilians only stay a week and spanish speakers only stay 6. like today all my brazilian friends i made have all left today so were gettin a whole new batch today. there the best part. the people. the brazilians are so nice and such a fun loving people. even on the first day when i couldnt understand a word they said or even say anything except hi they all talk to you and just by there facial expressions and flambouyant way of speaking you can laugh as if you have been friends for years. this place is really amazing though. theres people from argentina bolivia brazil america cape verde and mozambique. these people live in homes the size of our game room. the ctm mtc in portuguese is dead smack in a middle class area of sao paulo. in america it would be a ghetto. everything is graffiti´d and the buildings are tore up. people will not stop for you here either they drive like they wanna kill each other. they will hit you if your in the road. no joke. on sunday was there soccer championship cup so the whole town was going crazy. at night there was fireworks everwhere not the ones that shoot in the sky but homemade ones. basically bombs or they might have been gunshots who knows. ya adams room was the one next to mine so me and him talked a bunch and he not even that good at the language. decent. im starting to pick it up very quickly, they say that the best practice is speaking it and i love talking to the brazilians anyways so thats all i do. they all hate justin bieber so if you say you love justin bieber to them there friends will instantly laugh and they will get crazy trying to defend themselves. throwing there hands in the air and making crazy faces like as if they just ate something sour. its very fun to talk to them and thats really the best part. there so awesome. there so humble and bear such strong witness of Jesus Cristo that lets you know why the church is growing so much in brazil. my companion got called to district leader also his name is elder carrell hes a real nice guy. super goober but that means im his assistant. they rip us apart if we dont do everythin right
