Week 3

okay this week we will talk a little more about the first few days here.

so the flight here was crazy. i met this kid in ontario that was going to brazil and the first thing he said was. so how much portuguese do you know. i was like. um ive learned a couple words... hes like oh..... well ive already read the book of mormon in portuguese.. so that was really uplifting. i got to salt lake and there was like 20 other missionaries going to brazil. and over half of them were going to my mission. we flew to detroit and thats where i had my final american meal..... quiznos!!!! yes im not going to lie i would love to have that meal again. the food here isnt bad.... but we have the same 4 set meals that we eat over and over again. its a lot of meat so my stomach hasnt felt 100 percent in a long time. um so from detroit we started our 11 hour flight to san paulo brazil i slept most of the way i was sitting by elder sandage on the flight. he was really quite but him and i have become pretty good friends. after we landed we had to go through customs which was a hoot. i was seriously scared from some reason but it all went fine. i think i was scared that i might get arrested for something i didnt even do and be locked up here for 5 years or something

so once we got our bags we were looking for the person who waas supposed to pick us up and we wait for like an hour. haha our minds were starting to freak our after the first 30 minutes.... haha finally they picked us up and we were off in the crazy bus that they had to pick us up... well sorry guys im out of time.. more next week i guess..

when im out of the mtc i will get an hour to write so my emails will be better then

\love you All
