Excerpts From the Week 1 Emails

Hey so ths is my email, I'll probably have p-day on friday from now on, but I'm not sure, just so you know.

Well i guess that the first two days are the hardest, because it's not so bad now. Got a headache sometimes from not enough sleep and focusing too much, but it's not too terrible.

Thanks for the cookies, clothes and battery; and thanks Mariah for the little notes you send me, they're sitting on the wall above my desk. I'll start taking pictures soon, should i send the memory card home when it's full?

We play volleyball every morning for gym, and spend about 9 hours a day in class, mostly learning about Portugese. My favorite is when we have Irmao Peterson, because he's funny and we learn a lot.

There's about 160 missionaries here who are waiting for their visas, some of them that arrived here in september have already been reassigned to Kentucky, or something like that, but that was before the online visa thing, so i think the rest of us in my district are fine.

So we only have about a half hour to write emails, and so far this has been about 13 minutes, so if you write something that would need a long response, don't be surprised if it's hasty.

There's some cool guys in my district, nobody really nerdy or annoying, which is good. My comp. worked in a mortuary for a couple years, so there's some funny stories about that.



Yatta, love you.
