Mom, (Everyone)
oi!!! i am so happy it is P day again. i keep forgetting to carry around with me my cuiaba address. i will try to remember it for next week. my roommates left today on their missions so it is just sister adair and i. which is good and bad. there is no brazilian girls in our room any more and now it is just tough. today we went out and bought things found the grocery store so i could get shampoo and stuff like that which is good. while sister adair, elder stevenson and elder pittsenbarger and i were walking some gentlemen came up to us and starting speaking portugues. elder stevenson and i wanted to know what he said. so he and i jumped in and started talking to him. us being dumb missionaries were not carrying around a livro de mormon and told the man to tell us where he worked and we would go back to the ctm and get him one. it was so exciting to be able to give out my first book of mormon. on the way to where we were going to meet the guy, i was writing in the front cover my testimony in Portuguese which was kind of hard since i had no time to think or anything. it was amazing. my district is starting to get along and i am to the point where i am ready to go and start being a missionary. the weather here has been so nice, and the food after fast Sunday was amazing. the funny thing is we fast from lunch to lunch, because in Brazil, lunch is their main meal since they are up all night working. so we have big lunches and small dinners. i drink about 96 oz of water a day. i really want to lose weight so i am drinking more water and eating more fruit. this next letter i send you i will be sending a few pictures with it. finally getting up the courage to speak to people outside these walls is great and i found a place to print pictures for one real which technically is like 57 cents in the US. which is good. i got 41 pictures. oh i love it here. i love the Brazilians i love my mission. oh and i also bought myself some really nice scripture covers that are leather for my livro de mormon. a guy pretty much carves the pictures into the leather and they look amazing. i got Christ holding the lost lamb on the front, Joseph smith seeing god and Jesus Christ on the back and on the side it says Brazil cuiaba mission. and then sister tiana cesena with a til above the n. woohoo. class is getting to the point where i get so bored. one of our teachers is very awesome and we teach him as an investigator which is cool. we have invited him to church and this next week i am going to ask him if we would like to be baptised. its all pretend but good practice. i am starting to memorize scriptures and everything it is awesome. you can look this up. voce seguira, sendo batizado por alguem que possua a atoridade, do sacerdocio de deus. tenemos uma reunia batismal do dia (25, mayo) ok its the baptismal invite it will be hard to look up since i cant spell. also i tried finding you a card to send for mothers day but i cant find any so far. so i want to tell you how proud i am that you are my mother. thank you so much for raising me up to who i am today and for being that example to me. i love you so much and so proud to be called your daughter. you mean so much to me and have done so much for me and i thank you for that. also as a welcome home present a car would be perfect. lol to lighten the mood. but really mom i appreciate you and all that you do for me. i am grateful to be here on this mission and to be preaching the gospel. let dad know i love him and that i miss you all. please send coral a letter for me because i got hers in the mail last week but have no time or money to be writing everyone letters. just let her know things from this letter and that i love her. let everyone know i am doing good, grandma, aunt tt....everyone. I love you all so much. talk to you in a week. boa tarde
