Flying Cows Jumping Over Fences With Gleeful Faces of Joy

 

Hows that for a mental image! =)

Well its great to hear that dads home. I forgot too tell you last week the way you discribed how people drive sounds frankly familar... for some odd reason it feels like I see that kind of driving just about everyday...

Still havent seen the birthday package but I should get it this week. we have a zone conferance this week so I should see it their. I´m pretty sure i´ll get it then.

This week was pretty cool too. The last transfer we got some more elders to help us out in our same ward. so now we have 4 elders for one ward. they are the new ZL´s and they are pretty dang good workers. they have been working in Barra dos Coqueiros They been having a lot of success there. the reason I tell you is because we were asked to help them assist in the establishing of a group/branch there. We found a school were we could meet for the meeting and the elders and the bishop pretty much ran the whole program. We pulled together the talks the sacrament just about everything. It was really pretty cool to be there. Those are the pictures that I sent. Kinda looks like a death trap in the picture but it really wasnt that bad. it was just gettting dark when i took the picture. But that is kinda what schools look like around here. they are full of graphitti and writing on the walls. its actually kinda interesting. most of the writing is just silly little people writing how they will love eachother till the Second coming (forever) but some of the artwork on the walls is actually kinda cool.

The other picture is one me at the burger king. I was actually really happy to see an american food chain for once. we went last p-day. the only bad part was that it was way flipping expensive. I got two burgers and a sunday for 15 Reais. (about 8 dollars.) it was just kinda ridiculous but hey it was good food. the rest of the elders spent about 25 Reais. I´ve discovered thatt i´m a Mão de Vaca. which means i´m kinda a scrooge. I dont like spending my money. haha! (dont worry i´m eating fine.) but the rest of the elders gett really annoyed with me cause I actually budget my money a little bit.

But this week has been good. I´m happy and healthy. I´ve been eating my fruits and veggies. I´m doing well. hope i wasn´t too boring this week. i´ll let you know when you I get the package. Love you all! bye!!! tell Lissy that I say hi!
