Family!! How is everything going? Everything is great here. I'm sitting in a meeting thats going pretty slow so I decided I would write ya. How's home? Are you guys getting all of my projects done that I started? haha That's cool the fishfry went good and everyone sounds really busy still! I don't know how long this mail system is taking but I have only received 1 letter ha thanks alot! So time is going fast. I have a test Monday to see if I can leave Tuesday or early at all. But whatever works. It's alright here. The food is ok. I've eaten so many rolls. I'm keeping the same weight. We have Brazillian roommates and they are crazy. They are so loud and party all night. My companion and I still get along really well! He;s a good kid. We have had alot of spiritual moments like last week was fast Sunday and we had a District fast for our teachers girlfriend to have an interest in the Church and want to be baptized and on Monday he told us that Sunday night she took a lesson and accepted to be baptized. It was crazy. It was exactly the testimony builder I needed. So today was Valentines Day. That's weird. Also it's getting pretty cold here, only 60 but its a weird cold. It's so strange! For gym time everyone knows me from basketball cuz I'm the 3rd tallest here. Also I have been mistaken for a Brasilian, like alot. It's hilarious. They will ask me voce americano o brasilero? And I say Americano. It's funny. As soon as my language comes I will totally say Brasillian haha. It's fun to hear that you are still including Shay in everything. Holly's written me twice now ha. I think its way fun. Well let me know if you receive this letter so I know how long it takes. But vte mais eu te amo ate logo paz fora e muito amo! Tchou! Elder Deakin
