Week 3 - Brazil MTC

So I totally just typed out a big email but I didn't hit the right button and it didn't send...and I lost it. But all is well here in Brazil! I love it here! The language is going fine and I'm learning tons everyday! I can go in to a lesson now and teach the whole thing without any notes! Pretty good huh? The punctuation and capitalization is all weird on this keyboard so bear with me. We have 2 fake investigators (Diego and Hilda) I say fake because they are just our teachers but I think they are real people! Ha! Teaching them everyday is the highlight of my day! The spirit is always so strong. We have "baptismal" dates set for both of them. But we are still working with Diego and his girlfriend who is a non active member. They are having trouble with the law of chastity and she feels ashamed to come to church. But he loves the church and didn't know he was doing anything wrong. So we taught him about that and he said he´ll change! Haha so that was fun!      

We have gone to the Campinas temple twice and hopefully the Sao Paulo will be open next week. It is really pretty! I'm not allowed to send pictures from the CTM so I'll have to wait until I leave here and then I'll send you all the pics! We had a big group leave for the field on Tuesday so that was sad. Our Brasiliero roommates left so that was super sad. But we got some new ones and they seem ok. I bought a Brazil flag last Pday and got all of them to sign it before they left. 

I haven't heard of those missionaries from Mom's email yet but I'll  look out for them. I'm sure they've heard of me cause I mean... who hasn't? Ha ha yeah I got some new stuff at the distribution center and my debit card didn't work so I just used cash. Its not a big deal. Just thought I'd let you know! Yeah we get to go walk around the city until 5 pm on Pday and its 2:30 now so we will have a lot of time! We are going to go eat Subway and I'm actually super excited! So yeah everything here is great! The food is actually good here but I could go for some American stuff. We got 3 new elders from Provo in our district this week so that was fun. 

I'm pretty good at understanding Portuguese but I'm not too good at speaking it! It's a struggle, but I'll just keep working! The spirit here is great at the MTC. I just love it and I've learned sooo many things! Some times we get off topic and get into some deep doctrine conversations in class so I've learned a lot doing that. I've been studying a lot so I can be prepared for these discussions and I find it very intriguing! 

Well, thanks for all yall do! I love yall and yall are the best! Hope I'm not forgetting anything...Oh and you said Teagan had emailed me but I didn't get it. I'm having a blast here and can't wait to hear from yall!
