Griswalds! So this letter I will only talk about 3 things. The members, the area and my comp. But lets start with the comp. So his name is Andre Santi, he is from Argentina. This part was easy to learn. The hard was his mom is fighting cancer and last week he got to call home because she was having a surgery. She's almost beat it, but the surgery got postponed because they didn't have an anathesiologist (the shot guy ha), but he is super cool. His accent is pretty funny argen. doesn't use their mouth to talk so his pronuynciation is funny, but I'm learning spanish also now. haha. It's really close but the area here is really cool. Full of mud, trees and brick roads. It really is way beautiful. Full of trees but rains every day. We walk with umbrellas even if we don't see 1 could because it will rain. The man that lives below us is a story to share after the mission ha. So they go and steal a cow and bring it back to cut it behind our house haha. But he is really nice! But now for the members they are great. We get fed so much I'm gaining weight! But they really are nice and care about us like in Itacoatiara, but not Manaus ha. All in all I'm really loving this rea and really loving the work. We struggle finding men and that is always our focus, but if we find a woman or anybody that asks to be baptised, we baptise ha! But I hope all is well and the message today is Ether 2:23 Jesus asks what do you want that I do? We have to propose solutions to Christ if we expect him to solve them. I started the Book of Mormon again. We hae to read it before July so see if you can beat me this time! Tchau! Elder Deakin
