Hazzit,
I got transfered to Guanabara Hortolândia.
I didn't want to leave Aracy, I could have stayed my whole mission there. I
loved the area, the people, I really am going to miss them. I got to talk
to my converts before I left, it was super hard saying goodbye to Maria Eduarda
and Victor. They both told us they were going to serve missions, super proud of
them. I left my suit in Aracy, I forgot it ;/ Its' still hanging up in the
closet :/ I left one of my bags in the bus station and my yoga mat there too, I
forgot a bunch of stuff. Some other missionaries that are in my zone have them, I
just don't know when I'm going to get them, or my suit.
The day I found out I was
leaving I washed all my clothes but in the last load the power went out - - so the
wash was just sitting in the water and by the time the electricity turned back on it was night
time - - so I new I was in deep Kim Chee because I was leaving the next morning - - at
like 5 a.m.! The clothes weren't going to be dry, so I ironed all of
them when they came out of the dryer - - but they were still super moist so - - we
fired up the oven and I baked my clothes! Iit worked pretty good! I got like
2 and a half hours of sleep. Then when I left I went up to Piracicaba, then
to Hortolândia - - it was like 2 hours of bus time. When I got here this huge
storm hit, it was like a hurricane! Like it blew over all of me and this other
American's suit cases and it poured. It was the strongest rain I have
ever seen in my life! The wind was super strong, the entire city's power
went out. When I finally made it to the house it was dark - - I couldn't see anything. I just fell on the bed and went to sleep from like 7:30 p.m. at night till 6:30 a.m. the next morning, most sleep I've gotten on the mission - - ha ha.
My new companion is Elder Andrade, he is from Natal, Brasil. He seems pretty cool, and our house is the nicest house I've been in here.
Yes I got your box! The pants fit perfectly, thank you! I use the jump rope everyday. I gave one of the peanut butters away to a member, the other I still have. Thank you I really like it. I got the Pilimai letters from the reunion and the shirt from Dad. I really liked them! I loved Sedrick's letter, I cracked up for 10 minutes straight! I have A TON of pictures to send but my adapter is in the bag that I left in the bus station - - soo I don't know how much time I have to wait to get it back. I'll send as soon as I can. I got all your letters and the one with the Snickers in the envelope - - loved them! Please keep sending letters in the mail, I read them when I get home at night.
Tell John that there
are people in Alabama specifically for him - - he'll love it! Braxton is so close to heading out!
I am excited to learn my new area, yesterday was all one big wet blurrr - - will work hard this week. Love you guys. Tchau Your Elder
