Familia!  1st thing really cool is that I got my package! w/solution! and log cabins!  p.s. in a city with 99% humidity things don't go hard they stay soft and mushy! So they are still really good but the powder sugar dissolved ha (mom note:  log cabins are his favorite candy)  But there was also lots of treats.  I hope nothing else, cause the box said it had been opened.  But I can't believe this is already my third week here in Acre!  Time passes so fast!  And this transfer only has 5 weeks because, I'm actually not sure ha.  The area is great!  Cooler, still really really REALLY HOT but what can ya do?  The Bishop here has 2 years so pretty new. He's good.  But my ala (ward, sorry) is super weak.  They are trying to build a chapel but need a frequency of 120 (it has been about 80 ha) so lots of work!  The men are lacking because the Stake pulled 4 for Stake callings.  But I have the chance to play the piano every Sunday (hymns)  I'm the only one that knows how and those people cant sing w/o it ha barely sing w/it ha super hard to play for them but I love it!  I don't know if I told you but I have a goal to read the Book of Mormon before the Temple Dedication.  So where you guys at?  So really I don't have anything new oh last week we got to crawl under a house and pull out a dead dog to bury it cuz it was starting to stink ha.  Dogs here are like cats, there are lots and lots!  So we found out a monkey lives behind our house.  Were gong to try to feed it (bananas) ha.  Also me and Santi started memorizing 1 scripture everyday!  So far its easy (3) haha  D&C 14:7 Alma 46:12 Ether(?) 12:12.  So I don't know whatelse you would like to know.  I've gained/lost weight everyday also lost the ability to speak in English ha. But seriously 1 American and 1 Argentenian in Brasil speaking Portuguese because it's the only way they have to talk to each other ha funny right?  But I think that's all for this week  Tchau!  Love you all!  Elder Deakin
