Week 3...

We're in our third week now and there's now about 180 Brazil missionaries waiting here for their visas, one guy has been stuck here for 18 months, poor dude.

Thanks for the chocolate cookies and the turnovers, they were really good. I finished the chocoate chip cookies yesterday, and the chocolate ones are already almost gone. And i've only had a few turnovers, but they were helpful since thanksgiving dinner was at 1:00 and we had a sack-lunch dinner later; and the day was over before i knew it, it hardly felt any different, haha. But we did get to hear from Elder Holland in the morning, which was neat-o. We had to stand in like for about an hour and a half to get good seats. After, we had a service project and colored little books for kids in disaster areas, which was fun, mostly cuz it was something new and colorful. Dinner (or lunch?) was just turkey, potatoes and stuffing, but I liked the jello/fruit pudding/salad thingthe most, so yeah :) And had chips, a sandwich and pop for our actual dinner. so pretty exciting stuff.

I'm reading Jesus the Christ too, i picked up where i left off from at home, and it's pretty good, it's slow going since we only get an hour out of the day usually to read anything except language stuff or sit in class, or eat. We got to hear from Elder Oaks on tuesday, and he was pretty good. And I also had a chat with Sister Elizabeth Smart the other day, so i thought that was interesting.

We've been listening to a lot of Chopin, since one of our room-mates has an ipod that has hymns played by other artists ( which bug me) and classical; so we pretty much only listen to classical. And he has one song that makes me kinda homesick, not in a bad way though, i think it's "Raindrop Sonata" or some thing like that, not sure, just thought it was interesting.

So pretty much I'll be a pro volleyball player by the time i leave here, considering how much we play (if you call 40 minutes 5 times a week a lot)

Love ya miss ya
