Politics.

Well that little white bible that i carry around with me everywhere says that I cant talk about politics with you guys. but i dont think that includes telling you about how "the politics" are done here. I´ll fill you in later.

So hey my Cornwall family! Hope that Elder Max and Rock was a good enough little suprise. I was trying to keep you guys in the dark as much as possible about the fact that they were going home. I wanted it to be a suprise. I hope they were well behaved. =) haha! sounds like it was a welcome suprise. i´m curious as to how the visit was. =) 

anyway I have not gotten that package yet either. but it might just be in the office too. we have mission tour this week. so if it arrives or is already here before wednesday then president will bring to me from maceio. It should be soon. 

About the politics thing i mentioned earlier. so lets just say its about as crazy here as it was during the world cup... haha! So there are very few peace or sound rules here in brazil. so there will be an election in october. it happens every two years. so there are about ten thousand canidates that are trying to be governer, presidents and a bunch of other positions too. they advertise themselves by sending citizens out with giant soundsystoms balanced on the top of their cars trying to put there name in the heads of everyone. they all have cute little theme songs and short messages of how they are the best canidate. its a very different way that campaining is done here. everynight we are bombarded by parades and other types of propoganda trying to get the even the americans to vote. =) its pretty funny. 

So sadly those two people that I told you guys about last week werent baptised this week. they both pretty much arrived to the baptismal font and decided that they wanted to get to know the church more... we tried reasoning with them but they just said no in the end... kinda sad but they are still going to church. because of this whole shindig Viviane was able to invite her mother to listen to our message which was awesome. 

So i´m sorry if my emails are random and disorganized but thats what you get when your limited on time. =( just know that i´m still happy smiling and being that cute little elder thats just trying his best =) thanks again for all you guys do for me. till next week! 

Elder D. Alexander Cornwall (Hows that for a General authority name?)
