Letter to Mom

Oi mai! ( hi mom )

 

I lovee hearing from you as well haha, unfortunately I don´t have a lot to write about this week it just flew by! I have SO many fun expierences that I would love to tell you about but an hour a week just doesn´t justify it and I don´t even know where to begin!  But yeah this week has been WONDERFULLLL I love the gospel hahaha so so much!  It´s so simple, people try and look at the gospel to hard sometimes and it really boils down to the point of how a five year old can understand his purpose as much as a 50 year old can.  Just obey gods commandments and be happy... And you got a great life :)

 But yeah anyway so i´ll answer your questions because I really don´t know what to write about haha (sorry my brain is permanantly in overdrive mod, I think 1 million miles an hour )  so just know missions are the best.  I can´t even describe it, I know now why return missionarys that I would talk to would tell me you just have to experience it. 

I am not in Fortaleza yet unfortunately, still in the MTC until december 20th. 

I don´t need money BUT if you can, could you please go to the bank and investigate how much it costs every time I swipe my debit card.... because I don´t want an international charge of 3 bucks eveytime I buy something that costs 50 centavos ( cents) and I use my debit card.  Does that make sence??

So second pair of shoes I think I will just buy them out here if that is alright, i´m pretty sure it will be cheaper and i´ll be better off Thanks though!

I do not need a blanket it´s already so hot in Sao Paulo I just sleep with a sheet haha. thanks though!

THE FOOD where do I begin:!?!?!? It´s pretty legit haha.  Rice beans and chicken and meat and just really good food :) unfortunately Brazilians don´t really use spices or sauces on their food! it´s still good though

As for working out, I work out every single day :) i´ve actually gotten stronger since i´ve been here which is pretty good! My six pack is almost in probably another three weeks and it will be there :) and I can now do 40 push ups compared to like 21 two weeks ago haha.  Gotta hit the ground running when I come home after two years :)

The City is absolutely BEAUTIFUL!  That is probably the one thing I wish you could see is the view I have of sao paulo every night it looks SO pretty!  I´m so thankful for the view and simple things our heavenly father gives me every day :)  The city is kinda poor it´s hard to explain I will later but I am running out of time!

This week was great I feel like my testimony is starting to grow and i´m in the rythm of being a missionary.  I still can´t believe i´m on my mission.  Just another stage in my life I guess.  I´m starting to go into overdrive with my efforts, I can feel my mind honing in on what I need to be doing more and more everyday.  The language of the spirit is becoming more and more manifest unto me by the day,  I´m learning more about why this gospel is what it is.  The gospel is perfect,  The plan of salvation is perfect.  So grateful for all that I have been given I love my life!

 

Have a wonderful week mom love you so so much!
