Feliz Ano Novo!!!!! January 1, 2010

Sup family!!!

so how was everyone's new years eve? what did you guys do? did you guys have fireworks? did Ivins do fireworks?
mine was okay. my comp. elder gilliland, is a new missionary, and so he just wanted to sleep because he was tired. So he went to sleep and i stayed awake alone, waiting for the new year to come in. there were a bunch of fireworks here, and it was pretty cool. they were so loud that it woke up my comp.
oh yeah, so i got "emergency" transfered again! i returned to Natal. and i was called district leader again. so i was pretty excited/stressed about that. but it will be good. so my area is the center of Natal. we have all of the shopping malls in my area! but unfortunately its against the rules of the mission to enter. and we have the biggest shopping mall in the northeast of brasil in my area! so that kinda sucks that we can't enter, but oh well. and i am taking care of two wards. and the areas of these wards are huge!!!!!!!!! it is about an hour walk from my house to the church. but luckily we have some members with cars here who will help us take investigators to the church.
oh, and we have a bunch of pizza places in our area, and chinese and a place called bob's burgers which is almost exactly like an arctic circle at home!!!! its so good!!!!! but really expensive. about 20 reis per person, so like 10 bucks for a meal. but it is way good!!!! so my area is so big that i can get a bus and ride on the bus for 45 min and i will still be in my area. it's terrible! hahahahaha. so yeah, but its all good. so elder gilliland is on his 2nd transfer, yes, he's american. but he is already talking portugues really good. way better than i was with his time. he was trained and started his mission in Nova Republica, my first area. so that was cool, when i left there the second time, he arrived. so we have already had the same comp.
so can you believe that i will go home this year!!! Wow!!! its already 2010!!!!! I can't believe it!!!!! it is so wierd to think that i will be going home in 8 months. crazy huh. i don't know if i am excited or sad. i'm kind of both of them.
so is everyone excited for this new year? eu estou, tenho opurtunidade de trabalhar e ser uma pessoa different! fazer novo metas! estou animado! vai ser bom de mais! so is everyone making your new years resolutions? i have a few made up, but i am going to make some more. and it's not only important to make some goals, but an action plan of how you will accomplish your goals. my Presidente has been talking alot about making plans of how you will change to reach your goals. it is something that i am trying to put in practice. so lets see what happens. one of my goals is to gain weight. hahaha. i think my problem was that i was drinking that smoothie i told you about, açai, everyday. but now that it is more expensive here in Natal i wont drink as much.
well, now that you guys have a book, i'll end it here. oh, and sorry i am not sending any fotos. the freakin comp is gay and the usb port doesn't work. I love you all!!! The chruch is true!!! Jesus Cristo é nosso Salvador e Redentor!!!! the Book of mormon is true!!!!
Eu amo voces!!!!

Happy New Year!!!!!

your son, bro and elder
