Sounds like you are having fun having the house to yourself. (The rest of us were in Utah.) And sorry, you will have to wait another year for me to be able to help you with the lawn and the trash. haha i do at times miss that lawn mower. Just us tackling the grass and giving me time to think and ponder. but one more year. haha

I did know that Aaron was Moses´s brother (not to pop your bubble) since im studying the Bible. I just started Jonas yesterday. Im reading the institute manual while im reading the bible to help me understand what is going on and such. ITs been a really interesting read the past few weeks. Just seeing the rises and falls in the Jewish history, All the things the great leaders accomplish, only to make one mistake and loose it all. Its helped me analyze my life and notice where i need to be better.

Well, sounds like all is well with you dad. im doing well, last night we had a district sleep over. haha it was fun. Elder Sloan and i talked alot about random stuff. Its nice to have an american to talk with once in awhile. I love my brazillian companions, but its just much more natural and such talking with the americans. but its good though. Haha

we have three families currently that we are teaching, but the only problem is no one is going to church, so its kind of hard to have baptisms when no one goes to church. so thats our main obsticale right now.

My favorite brazillian food is....not sure, i like it in general. Some types of beans and rice they make that i really like. They also make Lassangias (forgot how to spell it) which is their version of caserols. haha but they are really good.

What are the Top 5 things you like about Brazil?
* these arent in any perticular order
1. Soccer!!!
2. the culture is so friendly and open
3. Everyone here believes in God and its allowed to be talked about anywhere, unlike in the states, so its nice to be able to talk about God any where and everywhere.
4. Food!!
5. uhh.....Not sure what else. just like it in general. haha


(Kevin’s cousin left for his mission.)
I didnt know there was an MTC in Peru. Tell andrew to look out for an Elder James Moor. i cant remember which mission he is in but i know he is in Peru. Hes my good friend from BYU. ITs crazy that he is finally in the field. Hopefully he can email, cause i would like to be able to talk directly with him, and help him during these next difficult months of the mission. i know he can do it, but ive already gotten thru it and i would like to hear about his experiances too.

Well, i gotta run we have lunch with a member that lives in New York and her family lives here. so she knows english and her daughters and son do too. its crazy haha.
