Today's Email "Hello Fam"

Hello family! Thank you so much for the letters. I actually got to read all of them today. It means so much to hear from you, its like a big boost for the rest of the week. And what’s up with Zack getting a wii for his b day? Not cool! As soon as I leave you get a wii... I know I know I am adopted! Yes, I will be able to watch general conference this week and it will be in English- thank goodness! I miss you guys a lot maybe a little to much, it’s hard at times to not think about the family here, but I am doing just fine. I think I realized this week I wouldn’t see my family for 2 years and I about had a heart attack, haha jk. So I am good, but I am not always happy for some reason. I have no reason to not be happy but for some reason I am not happy. Well I am happy....ahhhh I don’t know what I am trying to say. Oh well. Elder Cassenote is a good comp, but I am getting really annoyed. Huh, maybe its just me, but I have a lot of things I need to change about myself.......I have learned so much about my self in these 4 months than I have in my whole life (if that makes sense). But everything is good, this mission is really hard we have spits every week and I go with a membro of the church, and elder Cassenote goes with another membro. It’s always really hard cause I am the missionary and I have to teach the lesson, but I don’t know Portuguese that well. Thinking I have 4 months in the mission makes me depressed sometimes, because I feel I should know this language- haha ! I have a goal to have more patience by January 15. I don’t think I can do it- hahaha! Luis is getting baptized on the 11th and we have a family that wants to be baptized but they are not married, but that doesn’t matter we will marry them haha!

So I have been attacked by a dog, almost hit by 3 or 4 or 7 cars, I have seen things I really don’t want to see in my life again (I wont go into details) and I wonder....what lies ahead of me? Haha! I am having the hardest time of my life, but I am having the time of life. I am so thankful for the comfort I receive everyday from my Heavenly Father. I am so thankful for such an amazing family and the gospel we have in our lives. Oh yea, Amber how is the baby? Do you have a name for the baby boy yet? It sounds like everything is going good. I wrote Sydnee and there is a letter for Zack it, should get there soon. O yea Paden gets home today how crazy is that? Talk to Sydnee and tell me how Paden is and stuff......how is Sydnee? Do you talk to her or anything? How is life? Anything extremely different? Well let me know.....Oh yea, I want to know what is different in Heber. New stores? How is the High School looking etc. Well I love you family. Thank you again for all you do for me and for all the support.

Eu amo voces.
