Did anyone know it was your Birthday? yeah, a few people

Did anyone bake you a cake? yeah, Shirlei, and Pauliene slash Tawilly ha it was good, but i got a little sick i ate so much haha

Did you get any gifts? umm...Andreas made a little video clip for me and a couple of people like wrote me letters ha, but nothing de mais, but it was a really good birthday :) i loved it.

Did you get any more packages since we talked at Christmas? i got one last week from devin and di. Gracias!! and from Kelli Obrigado. and today from Brent and the fam! Valeu!

Is it flooding there? as we speak. haha its great.

Has the electricity gone out? yeah a few times, but not really bad like it did in my first area..

hey, are you using bottled water? HA! hahaha i drink water, dont worry mom, i only drink dirty water when im dying of dehydration. nao tenho como tomar so garrafa. but ill be okay. promise. i have promises from the Lord! :)

How was New Year's? new years? whats that? i didnt know about that one haha

Lots of fireworks? yeah, mais ou menos....i woke up at midnight because of them, so yeah i guess haha

When is transfers? today. haha im here in Paraíso. no mundo espiritual! haha jk but im in my new area, with my new comp. i start training tomorrow. Elder Cabral

Did the leak get fixed yet? yup, the day before me left. ha

How is the teaching going? i guess we'll see huh haha

Anyone ready to be baptized? we had one in that area that we left, here it looks like theyre teaching a few but nobody thats ready to be baptized this week

Are you teaching a lot? yeah. quite a bit, but well see if this areas different or what...

Anything funny happy this week? yeah a few things, well not really funny but kinda interesting. rogerio dormiu na rua uma noite (Rogerio slept one night on the street) and the next day we found out and went and talked to shirlei, he slept in her house the next day and i gave him a bunch of my clothes and the shoes that i cant even use in this mission haha. but it was because he told the truth. he worked for a company and lived in their house, with theyre furniture, his boss stared stealing stuff from their house (from the company) and he went and told the boss above him, and then he stopped delivering food to him, and then they moved houses and nobody told rogerio so when he got there nobody was home. but hes doing great! firme e forte! he has a member girlfriend as of Sunday hahah and he will be getting the priesthood this week(that was his biggest concern when he slept on the street, that he didnt have anywhere to study sobre aarão, like bishop told him to haha. then he was talking to a guy about a job offer, and the only thing he asked was "will i have to work on sunday? because if so i cant accept" hes the man. O CARA!! haha

When did you feel the Spirit the strongest? i think that story covered it, seeing recent converts willing to help each other, strengthening their testimonies together and PRACTICING what they had learned with us. wow. i love the MISSION!!! and love you guys!

sounds like you girls had a pretty good time together! i got the freshs christmas card today, and from grandma too! thank you! love you all! boa tarde! tchau!
Um abraço!
