week 15

well first off elder hubbard says he loves you haha. no soccer is not my best sport haha. we bought a basketball last week so we have been playing ball more. we go to the church every morning and play basketball or football. that really sucks about your foot but its a good thing it is getting better. that sounds so awesome about the bfi. this week was crazy. we had a lot of stuff. president hearts kid was here and he and his family are really good at singing and musical stuff so they did a show for us . we got packages friday. it was the one with the pens and pictures. so the whole thing about the stickers is a myth haha. the mail isnt that bad here if you claim it at customs and it doesnt get here then i get money for it. but it does take a long time. then we had the celibration for the temple in manas. it was way cool. then sunday we had the dedication itself. president ukdorff dedicated it. then we had another babtism sunday. her name was antonia. she is like 60 years old. she has four kids who were members all ready. it was a roller coster ride though because her son was planned to babtize her but he was an hour and a half late. so we were like oh i will just babtize you. then we were taking pictures and her son showed up. then she was afraid of the water. and he said the prayer wrong and she forgot to plug her nose. she did not like it at all. she started crying and tried to run out and her son grabbed her and calmed her down and finally she was babtized and it was so cool. she was so happy after and her whole family was there. it was really nerve racking haha. me and elder hubbard only have 2 more weeks together. it is crazy how fast time is going. i hope you guys have a good week and i love you guys so much

Week 12

 That sucks that you didn't get to go to Chases homecoming I bet it was way cool. I am in the same house that Elder Mitchel was in. This week was the best and the worst all in the same week. the worst because Elder Natchigal was transferred and he was way cool. the new elder is Elder --- and he is a total tool. haha we don't like him very much because the second day he was here he called the assistants and complained to them that there was a lot of disobedience here and all this stuff. the part that made us more mad is that he didn't even talk to us about it first. haha maybe its because i always say what i think or what(takes after his mom I guess we say it how it is and then you have a chance to say what you think and then we go on) but that really bugs me when people are babies. the best part was that I had my first BABTISM!! Adriana de Jesus Nacimento was her name. I  told you about how it was a miracle we were teaching her but this week we learned it was a even bigger miracle. She didn't even know this member she is living with. she is 17 years old and was at the bus station and started talking to this member about how much it cost to live in different places and stuff like that. then sister rita (the member) said oh just come to my house have something to eat and you can figure out what you want to do.(The Brazilian people are so nice and giving I can't imagine bringing a complete stranger to my house we could all learn from them)  Well they started talking more and decided that sister rita would just take her in and she is living there now. it was such an awesome experience I cant even explain it. I had to baptize her twice because she forgot to plug her nose the first time and started flopping around under the water haha. one thing that was cool too was that it was stake conference last Sunday and President and Sister Hart were here for that so I had Sister and President Hart at my very first baptism. oh and President Hart gave me permission to take my rope with me all the time if I want! how cool is that. then today for pday we had a zone thing at the institute building. they had a pool table and ping pong and basketball and soccer. it was way cool. but we played soccer and now I am sore haha bad idea. me and Elder Hubbard were like that was not the smartest thing to do haha. I am getting a hair cut today so I will have to send you some pictures next week. . That is so funny that Ryder is trying to tie goats. send me some pictures. i love you guys.

Week 11

hey i got packages today!!!!! i dont know what ones but the other elders in our house went to salvador today and we called them and they said i had two packages! i am so excited haha. We get on the computer at a lan house. it is just a intrnet cafe place with a lot of computers. haha yeah i get ran over a lot but i am getting better and better. haha keep on them about my saddle i wanna see some pictures of it.

so this week was a tough week our best investigator doesnt want to be babtized now. it seemed like we could only find people to talk to that didnt really care. it was so frustrating, but one good thing was that we had a investigator stop drinking coffee and wine! that was way cool. we only have one more week in this transfer it is crazy how fast time is going. i miss roping a lot haha i think about it all the time. its kinda funny my companion laughs at me when i imaginary rope things while we are walking haha.
