More News...

I was reading my journal the other day, and I read how I hated the MTC at first, but then I read the day I got my visa, and I was actually kind of sad to be leaving the MTC, I must have become just a bit TOO settled, I liked it too much. So hopefully that happens here as well.

The 100 is just a goal for now, we´ll see how it actually turns out. We did have one more baptism this past Sunday, the daughter of the family we baptized the week before. so now the whole family is baptized and pretty active already. Whenever we show up they always give us some kind of drink or food, which is awesome! Makes all the work getting them baptized worth it :) They can make that cheese bread thing like at Tucanos too.

We met a man the other day on the street,and when we asked what religion he was he said: I´m evangelical, catholic, adventist, and christian, thank you very much. I´ve never heard of that religion before, :) probably not as strong as "got me own".

I´ve certainly gotten used to rice and beans, but whenever I have a chance to choose something else, I take it. I´ve made a fair bit of spaghetti since I´ve been here, and I´m having more today, bahaha.

Congratulations on beating Mesa and Skyline, a sound thrashing indeed. And to Zach and Ben on playing with the big boys. I actually met a person who knew what rugby was down here, that was fun. It´s certainly not like soccer here. wow. Soccer everywhere.

I saw a parrot the other day... and an owl, thought you might like to know. And apparently there´s a huge number of giant snails here, cuz I´ve almost stepped on about 100 of them, they´re all over the place.

Josh: i jerked Brazil before you :) i´ll send video evidence soon. BAHAHAHA.

The best time of week here is 1: sleep 2: shower 3: p-day 4: district meeting.

We´re teaching an english class a couple times a week, i think i mentioned that before. But my comp teaches words, and just boring things, but i teach the ones who are better at speaking already, and let them practice talking, and give them *weird phrases* which they asked for. So i come back with phrases every time, things like: Melts your face off, I´m sorry... that does´t compute, I see you like to eat... how would you like a taste... OF MY FIST!?!, and cowabunga.
And so on. I´m a great teacher.

The stars here are freaking amazing, I´ve never seen so many stars at night, it´s bummer I can't just chill and look at them, I do while we´re walking, but I end up walking into the curb.

The scariest feeling in the world, is when we´re walking back to our house at around 9:30. It´s like playing pac-man with thieves. Nothing has happened to us yet, haha, but it´s definitely creepy. We´ve had to make a few quick u-turns, but that´s about it. "stay in the light, walk fast, and stay frosty"

We walk past a section of rain forest (sort of) every day, and there´s grass/reeds that are about 10 feet tall, I just wanna throw my briefcase at my companion one day and scream DON'T GO INTO THE LONG GRASS!!! and dive in. fun stuff. one day.

well until next time,
You stay classy San Diego,
Love you all
