Week One: November 13, 2018

Hello everyone! It is weird writing in english because of how much Portuguese they throw at you all at once. Brazil is so beautiful! it is so green even in the big city where houses are everywhere and they have no yards because of how many houses there are the green still seems to grow through. This week I have learned so much about myself, my work ethic, my testimony, my lack of wisdom in Portuguese. and I learned for about the savior and what he has done for me and the world. my companion is elder Godwin from Rigby Idaho, he is athletic he played football ran track and played a little baseball, he is wonderful and has a good personality!

The CTM was made to be a Prison, It can feel like that sometimes, but after they stopped using it as a prison the church bought it and turned it into a CTM. President Rusell M. Nelson dedicated this CTM to have the spirit, to be a house of learning, to be a house of the Lord. I can fell that while im here. From a prison to a CTM just by saying one prayer, from Uncle Russ, has brought so much light and so much of the spirit for me to grow and to learn. Im so thankful for that. 

The food here is very good! well some of it. We have a ham and cheese sandwich for breakfast with a bowl of i think tastes like a vanila protien shake but i dont really know what it is. for luch and dinner its rice and beans with a meat that is sooo good! normaly with some soup thats very strange. One day i thought it was soup like normal but it was gravy for some potatos, so i eat the gravy like it was soup. the drinks here are like super fruit flavored soda with not a lot of carbination.

Thanks for all the support you all give me I am so thankful for that! Sorry about spelling, the keyboards are very small and I don´t have a lot of time to fix my mistakes, and yes i can see them I just don´t have time, when i accepted my call i agrees to spend all two years focused on the lord. so emailing is a wonderful blessing,
