Hey, so I got my travel plans
today, I am going to the Brazil CTM Monday(Oct 10). I leave here at like 9, I
have about an hour layover in Atlanta, then I’m off to Sao Paulo. There’s two
other missionaries in my zone that are leaving that day too, so I'm flying
with them to Brazil. Hopefully I’ll get to see Courtney, which would be
awesome!! Well, just wanted to let you guys know what’s up (I found out
today). Love you guys!!

Ok, so I get to email today. I’ll
send some pictures once I get them uploaded. So I finally figured out how to
do a snapping thing with my fingers that is apparently used in Brazil, it was
quite difficult to learn and took a while. We played baseball again this week
and I made four runs in a row. I was dying at the end because it was a full
out sprint every time so I wouldn’t get out. Got a new companion this week,
his name is Elder Chowen and he just got here (he’s a solo missionary) we do
not fully understand how the whole solo thing works, or what will happen once
I leave, I assume he will get a new companion. he’s a really good guy. I
asked Elder Joder if he could cut my hair and he said yes (he’s 23, Swiss and
served in the military). He got his clippers and we went into the bathroom
and he cut my hair. His clippers actually broke halfway through, but we persevered
and it was really good, finished at like 10:30 though. He’s actually super
nice, despite the tough exterior. We taught a real investigator in Portuguese,
he’s from Brazil and I could understand almost everything he said, and that
was awesome! Taught him how to pray in Portuguese and how to feel the Spirit.
It was an overall good lesson. Ill really miss this place and the people
here. Hope you guys are doing well! Love you!!!

Hey, made it to Brazil!!!! It is way
hot here but everyone seems super friendly and nice. Everyone here speaks
fluent Portuguese, its crazy. Plane ride was long. Pday is next Wednesday and I’m
going to the Sao Paulo temple that morning, should be an awesome experience!
CTM is a lot smaller than Provo, but still awesome!! Only here for two weeks,
but hopefully I pick up on the Portuguese crazy fast! Love you!! Hope
everything is well!!
