Querido Familia,

hey everyone! how's it going? sounds like life has been pretty busy for evryone. so what is this big change with dallin? he didn't say anything to me. did he cut his hair? or finally get clothes that are in style? ;) jk. finally get rid of his braces?
so yesterday we had a few changes, and i feel all alone.... kinda. :) My companion, Elder Pearson, finally got his visa and left tuesday at 12:30!!!! i was super excited for him! but the moment he was gone i really missed him. I was surprised at how much to. i mean, after having 16 companions i'm pretty used to it by now wouldn't ya think. but then i realized that part of it is because he was really my only conection with brasil and portugues etc... and i realized how much i still miss brasil. it was really interesting. anyways.... i am now in a threesome. luckily it is only for a week, because if it was any longer i'd probably go crazy. 3 is just one to many people. and one of the other elders has a VERY!! strong personality and it drives me nuts. but i just keep my mouth shut and do what i am supposed to. luckily Elder Garcia is super funny and keeps me laughing, so that is a good stress reliever for me.
other than that, not to much is different for me. we had a super good lesson with our less active family! alot of things happened. the dad opened up alot and we found out that he doesn't have a personal testimony of the bom. but his wife has a really powerful testimony! it was a really good lesson, the spirit was very strong. but unfortunatley they didn't go to church this week. sad. but we have another appointment this thursday.
thanks so much for the package mom! we decided we are going to have a party before transfers next week. don't know how, i'll probably just take some cake to district meeting. but i am realy excited. and today i bought a bunch of "junk" food so i can get some more weight on me. :) so between the cake, shakes, junk food, and the members feeding us everynight, i'm hoping that i can get some more weight on me. i'll keep ya updated on how it goes. :)
and yeah, you can probably just send the cd's straight to my home. they'll be fine.
so have i told you guys about the service project we are doing? the one where we redid the plumbing on the house. well, now we are laying the tile. it's actually alot of fun. Elder garcia, before his mission, worked in construction for a general contractor and basically learned everything! so he teaches us how to do it and we all work together! it is alot of fun. and we are doing a huge service for this family, because they don't have the money to pay for it. and it is giving us some great teaching oppurtunities! Miracles are happening!
and no, i haven't gotten my itenerary yet. i probably won't get it till about 3 weeks before i go home. so like in 4 weeks. dang, which means, you guys only have like 50 days to get the house ready for me to come home!!! hahaha ;) hey, so what is everyone up to back home. meaning Jeff Jolley and Cody. do you see them very often. if you do, tell them i said hi, and that they had better not be getting married any time soon! jk.
well, as you can see, i am really jumping from topic to topic. so, have a great week everyone. i love you all!! thanks for all of your support and for all that you do for me! have a good one! Eu amo voces!
