Week 5

November 21st, 2012

Family and Friends!!!!!!

First off i miss you all so much!! i Think about you every day. its been weird how your emotions can change so much in such a small amount of time! this week was a little harder for me. i felt a little more home sick then the last few weeks but thats probably becuase im getting a little tired of the same things over and over and over and over again. but you know what i passed that half way mark for here in the CTM so its starting to look up.

Today we went to the temple. last week on p day we had that area president come talk to us. it was way good to listen to him. and i really enjoyed it. but i really missed not going to the temple. the temple makes the biggest difference in my week. im going to really miss not getting to go every week when i get out of the CTM.

so earlier this week we were at a teaching practice on night and when it was all over my companion told me to come meet on of these sister missionaries. so i walked over and all of the sudden she starts signing to me!!!! WHAT!!!!!! i was so excited we then proceded to talk in sign language for the next hour! i Loved every second of it! i think go new i needed a pick me up this week. it honestly was one of the funnest things that has happened to me so far. it helped me to feel a little bit of home again. on thing about brasil is they arent really huge fans of america in some ways. they love to talk to us americans and they love american music and american movies. but if you talk about american they get a little mad. they think were trying to show off or something... i dont know...

so a little about brasil for you all! um first. they average 3 holidays a month that they legaly have to let all there employs off. which means no mail!! ya not good Next! um so you know steat vendors ya they have the same thing except they are freeway vendors. people will just be chilling on the side of the street and all the sudden somebody will see something they like and they will pull over and then just jump right back on the road. if you stop in trafic they will walk up and put what there selling on your mirror and if you dont show intrest theyll come back around and pick them up before you drive away. ummmmm..... ohhhhhh hahahaha brazilians dont beleive we ever made it to the moon and they say they had two guys that actually beat the wright brothers to the first flight. haha they are so funny. if you try to tell them that they are wrong they will get really upset at you. they are very proud of the there accomplishents!

Well family i love you!
