Hello my Family and friends that read!

Hahaha well this week was pretty good we left with some members to teach some lessons and that was really good! We really didn’t find any really good people!! Its funny I really want to loose some weight but they feed you here like none other and I am too lazy to run in the morning! it was funny we were working out one morning in our house and I looked at my companion and he was sleeping and I was dude work out and he was like I don’t like to and I was like what would you like to do and he said usually I go running and I was like lets go running then tomorrow! And he was like are you good at running and I was like no I haven’t been in like forever! And I was like are you good and he was like ya I am pretty good and I was alright tomorrow we will run! So we got up the next and went running to the church and back about a mile and a half I think! I killed him like he was eating my dust!  We had to be in our house at 7 and it was like 6:55 and we were like 7 mins out and I was like elder you need to hurry and he was like I can’t! And I was like you can! So I thought to myself what can I do to help him run so I told him look if you can tag me before the house I will buy you a huge pizza for your self! And he was like I don’t know! And I was like deal or no deal and he was alright deal he didn’t tag me! So that is good! But this week was ok it is starting to get really, really hot! It was cool we were driving down a street with a member and I saw a man in a wheel chair trying to get over the curb and I was like I am going to help him and so I yell stop the car and the member did a skidding stop and I jump out and help him this man cross the curb and walked back to the car! And when I got in the member looked at me and said you really do represent Christ! When I heard that the spirit just hit me it was awesome! The member continued I would have never stopped to help and all that! It was a good teaching moment!" but that is about it nothing else is really new! But every day I am learning to love Brazil even more! I am learning how to be a better missionary! Really a mission is where you learn so many things!

Well dad I love you and I am sorry I didn’t have time to write you a letter last week telling you happy birthday but if it makes you feel better I prayed for you and sung happy birthday! Dad I love you so much! I am very grateful for everything you have done for me in my life! I am so lucky to have a dad like you so next year I will be able to watch football with you! Love you!
