Family!!
Thanks for all letters. I love getting mail!! It makes my day so much better ha well where to start first off still kinda home sick but I love it so much I'm having a blast all the time but the food doesn't sit well in my stomach it constantly hurts. I'm kinda moving faster in the language still struggling learning memorizing words. Soccer everyday is still fun. So many people play it in tho its so packed! It's hot in our class to so it makes it rally hard to just sit there!Yesterday Thursday there was 54 Brazil visas two in my district got them so I think its a sign that they are coming! Yeah your portuges is well.. More like spanish mix ha ha some of the words are close but I still get the jest of it ha ha ha I have to write another talk for sunday yeah! Is there anything big happening in Garland? All my district thinks it's crazy all the things we did. They were all big town boys ha and all BYU trying to covince me to go there. They don't realize it's a lost cause ha ha. I ran into David he seems to be doing great. Acted like he loved it here. Seeing a freindly face around helps alot but at the same time we dont talk much but it would of been so much harder going straght to Brasil. But i'm doing fine here and can't wait to get to Brasil I want my visa ha ha I'm glad to get a letter from everyone i'm sending them all letters to but let them know it is greatly appreciated and I love it alot! but everything is great here keep writing. I will call when I get my visa but only four mins ha I will email you the things I need there is a small list plus a package I need to send home to you. Thanks for everything Love you so much Elder Britten.

oi familia tudo bem
Everything is muito bem here. I am starting to love it here. I love my district so much and the teachers are just great. The food is starting to get ordinary ha ha but all in all I love it! I have to write a talk for Sunday just in case they call on me. We never know until right before but it has to be in Portuguese so it is really hard to translate everything! How is everything back home. I love hearing from you all everyday ha ha It brings the biggest smile to my face! I love the cookies. They are so good. At the first I was never hungry but I love food again. I eat quite a bit but still not as much as home. I have a new best friend ha ha His name is Elder Arroyo from Mississippi. He is exactly like me. We have everything in common. He is so fun! P day is by far the second best day of the week next to Sunday! Sunday is so much fun with the movie and Temple walks. It probably sounds alot like a repeat when you read my letter but I was having alot of fun writing the letter so it was kinda long, but keep writing me and I love you all!!

Oi Pai (he forgot the rest of his familia oh well ha ha)
Thanks for all the letters. Its great to hear from you guys. Since last week things have been muito bem! Life is going fast in here. Its already been a week! I am loving it here now after the first three days, things have become alot faster and better. My district rocks they are so fun! The language is slowly coming. I'm able to introduce and bare my testimony eu si que Jesus Cristo vive e hosso redentor eu sei que de igraja dos santos dos ultimos dias eromi Jesus Cristo Eman It's small but I'm getting it sorta ha ha. I am having so much fun but at the same time 8 more weeks seems so long... to be trapped in here. How could the Japanese spend 10 weeks in here. It's like a prison never being able to escape beyond the fence ha ha. But I am still having fun. The good is getting better and the days shorter. I'm glad to hear everyone at home is doing well. I hope Craig gets feeling better. That's so crazy its happening. but everyone else is doing well I presume. I found the best cereal ever here its called Blueberry Muffin tops made by Malt o meal. They are so good! The water isn't very good. It's all weird flavored. The gym time is almost as good as language time. We play soccer and its way fun. We formed our own families and stay together. My branch Presidency scares me. I think they just like to stare you down ha ha. Oh my P days are on Fridays so that is when I will email. Just keep sending the missionary mail cuz getting mail is better than
Christmas ha ha. I have a few things I'm going to send home cuz they gave me a Portuguese Book of Mormon so I will send home theirs and keep the one Tyrell and Chandlie gave me. I love being out here. It feels so unreal that we talk this much about the Church and everything. Sundays are the best. We get a devotional and a movie usually The District which is like a t.v. series "of ordinary missionary's just trying to do Gods work." and ends with "next week on The District" ha ha It's so funny, I'm just having a blast and joking around it's fun. Its definitely not normal fun, but its great. I can't wait to get out into the field. A load of visa's came yesterday so maybe soon ha ha We all get so excited every time the intercom comes on ha ha. Oh I was made Senior Companion Keep writing I love to hear every day. (editors note: we use "Dear Elder.com to send daily letters. It is free and they deliver daily. We are taking advantage of this now as when he is in the field letters take 6 weeks) The Temple is unfortunately closed right now but we get to walk around on Sundays which is amazing! We can stay up but were so tired we pass out. It's like doing nothing makes us so tired!!That's so good that Kayson still remembers me, well points at my picture ha ha. But I hope everything is going good at home for The Neals as well. Sunday we might have to give talks so I have been preparing but it has to be in Portuguese. I'm kinda worried ha ha that's alot. But keep on writing Love you all (editors note: we are trying to read his spelling of the Portuguese words. Forgive us for those of you who know how to spell it right)

Bon Targe Pai, Mai, Irlma's & familia
Thanks for your letters its great to hear from you. It's all pretty fun here just kinda alot. Never a moment to rest, but as we say negue-se were on the lords time here. The days themself go pretty slow but looking back on the last three they have gone fast. Thanks for all you do! u amou vocus I love you all Elder Deakin
June 10, 2010 (e-mail we received on the 12th we didn't look at our e-mail because we didn't know he would have it in Provo. our bad.)
Tudo Bem, so week 1/2 all I have to say is holy cow they speed you through everything. This is so fast. Day one went pretty good. I met my companion Elder Thompson, got my room and my bed. I didn't sleep the best that night but I do fine now. Everything is pretty good. I'm sick of the food it all tastes the same fast stuff. I want a home meal again ha ha. All the classes are good. I love learning Portuguese. Its so great! I'm learning it alright, we already sing and pray in it. were trying now to learn how to replace words and get the conjagulations down. It's fun the district meetings are fun but its all so much that its overwhelming. I love my district. The other kids are so much fun. We have a way good time. I have seen Chris (Brower) alot and Carson (Jessop) twice but only Baily (Shaffer) once. I love being here alot, but I still miss you guys like crazy. I never thought I would this much (wow did he really say that? we never imagined he would either) I want someone to just be able to talk to but all in all it is a way good experience, but I can't wait to not be here. Its not bad its just kinda so much inside stuff that its hard ha ha but I love it and I know that this is where I'm supposed to be so its all good. Elder Anderson is our District Leader and he is really fun probably the most like me. They are all cool. My companion is going to the same mission as I am as well as one other kid in my district We are all working really hard. I never thought I would be tired by nine o clock but come that time I am so wiped out that all I want to do is crash. Its like sitting in a desk and in class inside is so overwhelming ha ha! Thanks for the treats. I didn't get them till Saturday but they are still good. The missionary mail is great cuz we only get thirty min. to type so I can read that during the week and then reply to you guys. Thanks for the letters and everything. It was good to hear from you. How is everything going there? You making it alright without me ha ha jk.. oh well if not you will get by ha ha. I can't wait for Monday when we get into the regular schedule and start rolling by the days of the mtc til we can get out. There are some kids here that have been here six weeks but they said that Brazil was trying to turn visas electronic but that didn't work so they just decided to go back to by hand but that seems to be taken a while. Irlma Adamsam is our teacher and she is way fun. I love the class. I just wish it was cooler here. It is so hot. These classrooms get so miserable, but we still have fun. This next week is going to be fun. We are going to introduce ourselves to an "investigator". I'm not so good at the whole role play thing ha ha but I got to go. I LOVE YOU GUYS I miss you all
