Cambria! Hey! or OI!
como vi hogic? ( How are you today) Sounds like your having a great summer I heard that you had a few questions about what I do well?!! Monday I have personal study first thing in the morning for an hour where I study for myself and apply the scruptures to my investigators (7-8). 8:15 Is breakfast it is usually something like cereal unless its biscuts and gravy. 9:20 Is gym we go out to the feild and play soccer. We can play volleyball or frisbee but I play soccer. 10:30 we have companion study me and my companion study for our investigators and how to become better teachers. 1:00 Is lunchtime some other processed food, used to it all now tho so it is'nt bad. 2:00 language study we study words we will use and we talk as much as possible we have been translating movie quotes like gulpe grande eh? oi ate logo... Lucas eu seu pai! 1st from Dumb & Dumber 2nd from Star Wars.
3:30 Irma Adamson she is hilarious and a way good teacher! She helps us alot. 6:00 Dinner more not the best food.6:45 is class w/ Imso Slappi our other teacher he is way cool we have two of the best teachers. But yeah thats Monday and the rest of the days are just like that. 1 hour personal, companion 2 hour language. It just depends the order on the day. Tuesday there is LGM'S ( large group meeting) we have a big class on how to teach and stuff like that. Then at night there is a devotional where a speaker comes in and talks to us for an hour then we go and meet as a district to talk about it for an hour.
Friday or P-Day is awesome! we start off with personal in our room and then to the Temple and then write letters to Sis. When it's dinner and class for p-day we get to stay in our gym clothes but we cant go anywhere were not allowed to ever leave the campus. So it's getting old but we get to relax and hang out which is nice. It's a break form studying 20 hours a day!
Sunday is the other different day. We go to breakfast then Sacrament then study then Priesthood then study then district meeting w/ the Pres who is cool. Then a Temple walk then dinner then a fireside with a speaker, then the movie! So we are staying busy with studying ha but yeah thats what I'm up to! Oh yeah I mentioned we have investigaters every Wed. We have TRC where we go and teach volunteers. This Wednesday it is completly in Portuguese no English. I'm nervous! But then we also sign up to meet and teach teachers as progressive investigators! ha! We do pretty good most the times! Love ya!
Olah!
Como Vi? Well wow it has been 4 1/2 weeks. I can't believe how fast its going. Everything is going great. The language is coming more and more. I just need to speak it more. We have had 3 english fasts where we go 24 hours with only Portuguese. We only make it about six hours, but it helps. We have another one tomorrow for 5 hours and a 24 hour one Monday. The guys in my district left. We are down to 9 which is still pretty good. Elder Arroyo, the cool one, is still here. I love my district/ I couldn't of asked for a better group of kids. Elder Hurd left last Tuesday. Sad but way happy he is out there and still not trapped in this place. Im so excited to get outinto the field and talk to real people, but this place is alright for now. I'm feeling aloot better. I haven't weighed myself but I think I might of put on the 6 pounds I lost. I'm sore alot from gym, but only cuz I try to run lots. I ran into Dusty alot today. We went to the Temple again. It was nice. We still haven't gotten our visas yet but were staying positive. I wouldn't mind going stateside for a while but at the same time I want to get there really bad. Some kid in Sacrement said there was a reason why the Lord wanted him/us here and the President stood up and said no, the Lord wants us in Brazil, but man is interfering. I thought it was funny! Sundays and P-Days are still my favorite days. This last Sunday we watched The Mountain of the Lord. Seen it but it was pretty good. Have you heard anything else about Obama and the Space program? What's happening in the outside world? I feel so clueless to the world around me. That was awesome about Jason (Peavler) winning. Have you tried them? (Bar B Que ribs) That was really cool for him! Anything new going on with the fam? Jobs? Marriage? (Britten and Cambria are the next oldest in the family so I hope no one is getting married. He must have had a brain lapse for a minute haha) Kids? Anything, I love to hear how it is all going. What day is your pageant? Isn't it coming up soon? Elder Brower got his visa last Friday and left Wednesday so that was cool for him. Well I will see if the pictures are done if so there they are, if not next week! I love you all eu amo voce's! Eu sou que doaigraja de Jesus Cristo Dos Santos Dos ultimas Dias E Verdado. Eu amo serving o Senhor! Eu amo voces!!
