I Love It Here (7-16-13)

Tudo bem minha familia e meus amigos,

Things are going well still.  Portugues is still coming along well.  I have the Primera Visao (1st Vision) memorized and verses 1-5 of D&C 4 memorized all in Portugues.  I don't remember if I have told you all this yet but we got 2 new investigators.  They are played by our teachers.  But it still kinda feels like we are teaching the people.  It is pretty cool because we can get through most of the lessons without pausing to think of how to say it in Portugues.

Elder 'longi has gotten letters so he doesn't need to you write letters.  His parents sent him gummy bears. We have quite an impressive stash of food & soda.  Elder Bigler is from Provo so he is getting tons of packages of food & caffeinated soda.

I saw Sister Hansen (Sadie) & Elder Eliasen (Clark).  I am sorry for the spelling.  It is so hard for me to spell & it is even harder with Portugues in my head.  But it was super awesome to see them again.  I also see Elder Moomey a lot.  But he is leaving in 5 days or so.  I am very excited for him to go to Belgium & the Netherlands.

More & more missionaries have been getting their visas.  But it is only sisters that have been getting them.  So my visa may be coming soon.  I kind of don't want my visa till I finish here.  I like my district too much and I kind of don't want anyone else in the district to get their visas.  I have heard that when the wold cup stuff that is going on right now in Brasil that the visas will start to come a lot.  I have also heard that they might start getting through in like August or September.  But it is whatever.  The joke between the other district that got here when we got here is that they will get their visas.  They are in our branch and the sisters in that district are going to Portugal and the Elders are going to Mozambique with one going to Angola.  But we don't care because we just say that we are going to 2 missions and that our visas will come.

Well I don't have much else to say.  I love it here and how you always feel the Spirit here.  Thank you all for the prayers for me and please, keep the stream of letters flowing!  Ti amo!  I love you.  Tchau!
