Carnival Week

Mom, send me that dr. scholls wart burner kit thing. i have one on my thumb thats gotta go.

  elder beaudoin and i are super good comps together!  hes from oregon and has been out on the mission for 10 months. we have fun together, its something ive missed the last couple of weeks. hes yoked though. hes my height, and weighs 220. the woman in our ward like him already.  the other day he was telling me that he has to watch what he eats because if he eats to much he gets "fat like a woman gets fat." i dont even know what that means haha

    calm down mom, its impossible to not love the work. i just dont have anything new to write about in my emails. the mission is that way, for example, on p-days i used to love sitting at my desk for like 4 hours writing letters to people, now i get in the house and just eat açai all day and sit around doing nothing. i just dont have desire to write anymore, i dont care. its just what happens on the mission. im always out working with the same enthusiasm but now im just not as excited for p-day emails and letters, ive just lost the desire im sorry. not very many new or exciting things happen anymore, its carnival week so at night when cars drive by us girls usually scream and whistle at elder beaudoin and i because were "gatinhos"  other then that your moms intuition is off.

    but get that package out though i dont think ill be staying here that much longer. this next transfer many elders are  going home so a lot of people will be transfered.

     are jared and lindsey really gonna name her emma?

   OH! we want letters from young woman also! elder arf wants letters now, hes a brazilian from são paulo and he wants letters also. hes a handsome brazilian also.

    my health has been good mom dont worry haha. i had a sinus infection this week though so that wasnt fun, but im feeling better already because of the antibiotic.

   i love you all and hope youre keeping the commandments.

theyre super laid back! its a double edged sword though cause the members are super laid back also and never wanna work. the members will sometimes help you baptize there family and friends but help them stay firm, they will not help with that. its there culture is why they baptize so much, people just let you in thinking you wanna share a spiritual message with you and because the gospels true, you get some that feel the spirit and follow it. the thing about brazilians though is that they hate hate hate committments to anything. commitment to follow a church commitment to help people stay active anything with commitments they hate it. but everyonce in a while you find a gold nugget that recieves an answer and follows it. my new comp is way better hes already got 10 months on the mission so were a lot better team together. love you dad thanks for everything!
