Oí Família!
Wow sounds like a great week.haha Really crazy, quero dizer. Just to let youi guys know I laughed a lot reading this email. Oh so HAPPY BIRTHDAY MOTHER!!! 48, right? Eat a piece of cake for me! So my week was pretty good. The baptism will finally happen this week which I´m reall excited about. Oh thanks for mailing the blogs, mother. It´ll be nice to know how they´re doing. That´s cool that a lot of family was at home this week. Hopefully one day they´ll all be reunited when I´m there to see them :) So how´s Grandma doing? How are the paper´s coming along for the mission? Oh and I don´t think They´ll think you´re crazy for just chasing the chickens mother. I´m pretty sure the neighborhood knows how crazy we are from other past experiences.haha Anyway Have a great week and sorry I haven´t written a letter for awhile. It´s been hard to find the time. Don´t worry I´ll start up again today. Love you all.

Thanks for the pic Mother. That was pretty funny. I can see Joslyn in a rock band. haha How was the 3D experience? It´s pretty cool, huh? A lot better than the red and blue or green or whatever glasses. How is it that everyone is able to start driving before I did? I think there´s a little bit of pregudice in this family.haha Just kidding...kind of... So yesterday we were able to marry that family we´ve been teaching for about 3 monthes now which was awesome. The baptism is soon to follow :) This last week I´ve had a strong feeling that this is my last 2 weeks here with Elder Sá in Uruguaiana. It´s really sad, but probably true. So I´ve been trying to work even harder to really take advantage of the time I have left here. Oh so I have a favor to ask: Could you Mother or someone else start printing out the blogs of my friends and mail them to me? I´m really curious how things are going with them, but they don´t write me. You don´t have to print them all out at once just little by little. I´d be great if you could. Anyway, have a great week you guys. Love you.

Bom Dia Família!
Ah! I remember when I moved downstairs. I was quite the change since I lived upstairs for about 16 years. Don´t worry Derek, you´ll get used to it.haha I´m really enjoying my scripture study as well. It´s like some times I just can´t satisfy my hunger to learn in just one hour. I´m reading the bible and its funny the more I read it the more it testifies that the church is true too. I mean the Book of Mormon testifies specifically that the church is true, but it´s strange that the people of the other religions haven´t realized that everything the bible says also testifies of the Church. Óh so yesterday Elder R.M. Costa came to our mission to talk with us. He is the Seventy that is over all Brasil. It was really awesome. I also had the chance to sit at his special table at lunch afterward, which was really cool, because I got to talk with him 1 on 1. Pretty sweet. Anyway so this week, katia and Januareo will get married and then next week I think they´ll get baptized. Have a great week. Love you guys!
