The days have messed together (7-9-13)

Dear Family & Friends,

I suppose that this is going on my blog so I shall just title it as Family and Friends.

The days have messed together & I don't know what day it is half the time. Portugues is still coming along.  I don't have an issue learning words, I just can't say them right.  I am really trying to do Falar Sua Lingua (speak your language) and that is really helping.

I've seen more people that I know here than I expected.  I've seen Elder "Mark" Moomey several times & I saw Elder "Payton" Macdonald before he left.

Portugues I have come to learn is a pure language, with it you can understand Spanish, Italian, and French but they can understand you.  It is jolly good fun to use this against the Spanish speakers.

I still love my district.  One in particular, Elder 'longi,  I really get along with. He is hilarious.  He wrote a song because he still hasn't gotten any mail and it is hilarious.  I shall write the lyrics right now.

Ahem,

Nobody loves me but me.

The nights are lonely, the nights are so sad,

I got no letters from my mom or my dad.

And I'm crying inside.

Because nobody loves me but me.

I sit here and wait for an email or 2,

I get a message, no emails for you.

And I let out a sign (sigh).

Because nobody loves me but me.

I got a girl waiting, said I'd write you everyday.

The girl never sent any letters my way.

But I still feel fine.

But nobody loves me but me.

Aint got no postage, aint got love.

Then I receive revelations from the heavens above.

God says hear ye.

Nobody loves you but me.

It is so funny when he sings it cause he gets choked up.

So the investigator we were teaching, Joac, agreed to be baptized.  So we don't teach him anymore.  Which is good because he is our teacher now.  And his name isn't even Joac!  It is Felipe Messias.  But he is super cool & a really good teacher.  He also gives all the Elders a hearty Brazilian hug at the start & end of class.

Well that is about all that has happened this week.  I miss you all and I would like to receive letters from my friends!  Letters from my family is great!!  I'm still in America so it is cheaper than when I'm in Brasil!!  Tal to you all in a week!

Love,

Elder Mackay
