Familia!
Oi! tudo bem? Como fui sua semana? Come e a familia? Como e a casa de Chandlie & Tyrell? How is Cambria? Is it just me or is the time going by really slow this week? My companion is awesome. I really like him. But what's new at home? How's grandpa's house? How's Brandyn liking marriage? How is everything? My branch here is awesome. The food is good. I have pasta noodles more or equal to rice haha crazy huh? But beans and meat at every meal. It's good. I'm keeping my weight. I have a cool tan line ja (already) So for my things this week I saw 2 parrots, held one. It was lime green w/blue, way pretty. Also you will never guess who the first person in Manaus I saw was Elder Thompson. He's doing good. I haven't seen Elder Tenney yet though. So my luggage broke bad. The side walls all collapsed so I don't know what to do for the warrenty but maybe call them and find out. Also I found this guy here that carves oars. It's way cool. I don't know if you want something special I am having him make me one with moroni and the plates. Maybe a small one of Logan Temple too, we'll see. Only spiders I've seen are wolf, tiny ones and daddy long legs the size of golf balls. We got invited to go aligator hunting. I think he was serious. I hope at least haha. The members are so great. You need to make cookies for the Elders haha. So we get 200 reis a month. Thats $100, were living right! Food is so cheap, bread especially. So we have 2 baptisms and one wedding next month. I want one quicker, but I don't know. We contact alot of people but I think more is better. We have high numbers Just I want more. I don't want to be average, I want extreme! I want to be working all day long in this heat! This week we get to participate in helping hands so that's cool. All of Brazil is doing it on the 30 of this month. Oh also this week we got the triple three, 1 bible basher 1 lady feeding her baby and 2 well 2 drunks, people they were funny. Also we just got out of a huge church broadcast for America. I was the only one that liked it. Everyone was like why is this only about America. I liked it though. It was really helpful! So I hope your happy and keep writing! We had ward parties this week or festival da ram. It was different. They don't have modesty rules down here and they have this weird dance but it's normal for them so I guess it's not a problem haha. I'm so sick of these stupid bugs. Right now I have at least 4 on me. They never leave you alone. So one of our areas is about 7 miles away it is called Birro de Paz. The people there are very poor. Holes for toilets. It's crazy. Very nice people though. I love all the people here. They are so nice. I've only met one not nice lady and she just didn't want to talk. We contacted 51 people this week. Set 2 baptisms and 1 wedding I think successful! Well I think thats all for now! I love you all so much. Write me!! Tchau! eu je amo! Elder Deakin
So its P-Day today and raining pretty good. I was kept up most the night by lots of random things. A bird hiding from the lightening, a spider in my bed, our roommate trying to kill something. So needless to say not a good night but still up @ 6:30 because thats one rule I will never break! They say there are rules that matter and rules that don't but to me they are all rules and I want to keep them all. They say that it's just because I'm new in the mission field.
How is Chandlies house? I need more photos of everything. We are gong running today. Maybe I will take lots of photos then e mail them to you all next which will be a week before your reading this haha. I hate the mail system. I had to start using bug spray. I get bit all over my face, looks like it has tons of zits., but they are from bugs. But, I hope to hear fron you all soon. I love you all so much!! Tchau
