So this week went by really fast again I know I keep saying that but it really does!  I can’t believe that I have like a week and half left well technically like two weeks! I am actually learning Portuguese faster than I thought I was. I am getting better at it I can formulate sentences but they don’t always come out like I would want them to! But that is alright as long as I get the jist of it across so I got Colton Ferre’s letter today in the mail it was super nice to get that I also got one from Grandma Waters and Grandpa Snow! So that was fun I love what Grandpa did, him saving his head with Gentry he is so cute I love him! I love that Gentry’s cheer team all wore purple bows for her that is tight! But I got to say I am going to drop some money today on buying me some ties because there are pretty cheap here! Next week we are going to go to a Tucanos kind of a thing and we will see how good it is! So that will be about like 20 dollars! That is about it for the week so nothing really new happening down here in the Brazil CTM besides that I wish I would have had more to write because I know my letters are getting really repetitive and I know it’s not fun to read the same stuff over and over again so I am sorry! I am also going to get my clothes dry cleaned next pday before I go out into the field so that they can be looking good! Like just my suit and my pants! I love and miss you guys so much I hope that you have the best Christmas ever and I hope that you love every minute of it we will see what they have planned for us here I think that I might have to give a talk in church this Sunday cuz me and like 4 other people haven’t given one so if that is the case it will be alright I will talk about charity and love, one of the many attributes of Christ plus that it is that time of the year for that! Merry Christmas and a happy new year!! hahahah last thought I like singing the Christmas hymns in Portuguese its kind of fun you have to speak a lot faster to sing them which is a little hard cuz I am so not a fast speaker!! But it is fun!!!
