I am trying not to count down but I definitely am! haha it seems so long but the days are going by sooo fast.   I will be looking forward to that package. And I have thought of a few other things that I wanted too. I will add them at the end. I still need to find a razor.   Dan emailed me! that was exciting:)   We aren't supposed to take pictures at the temple for some reason  but our branch president gave me permission to sneak a few pictures in haha. He left.... his two years were up, but he was an awesome guy and I loved having him around. The juice is amazing because there is never any sugar added to anything but it tastes like it is. The fresh fruit is just so good here so it makes all the juices delicious. Tell Abbie that she can send me anything about her day, or what she is doing that week. I will respond if I have the time. Yeah, the drinking fountains are weird. two buttons. too confusing for me. I think the water is fine, or at least in the CTM. I will find out when I get out into the field. I was scorching hot the other day, and I was dying! It was only 30 degrees celcius and I heard my mission is usually between 40 and 50 which if you don't have a converter nearby its roughly 100- 120 degrees Fahrenheit. Yeah, I am going to die. I am sending a couple letters through missionties as soon as I go out today. You would be proud, I am taking a lot of pictures, but I don't know how I am going to explain all of them to you. Maybe I will wait to tell you who all of them are. I don't know. And yes, of course I remember that haircut. it was the worst day of my life. haha.

Now, about my week. Last p-day I spent a lot of time at the grocery store. And if you know me well you know I didn't buy anything and I just browsed. haha anyway I love looking at the stuff in the store because everything is just a ripoff of stuff from the united states. It is interesting. I of course went to the juice place again, and got banana this time! which I didn't think bananas had juice. It was awesome anyway. The rest of the week was the same except we had our branch president leave. Our district sang him a song on Sunday and it was really good. We sing this Sunday for mission conference. We need to practice a lot more before then. I am speaking with Brazilians with a little more ease now, but I still have a long long way to go. AND every single Brazilian wants to take a picture with me. I need to start charging. So I was told I needed to bear my testimony in Portuguese so.... Eu sei que esta igreja é verdadeiro. eu sei que quando nos oramos o pai celestial está escutanding. Eu sei que joseph smith foi um profeta de Deus e ele restorou o eveangelho de Jesus Cristo atraves orando e real intento. Eu sei que O Senhor ama nos e somente quer o melhor por seus filhos. Eu sei que o livro de mormon contem o plenitude do evangelho e se nos lemos este livro, nos vamos sentir o espirito santo em nossas corações e atraves este sentimento nos vamos saber o verdade que esta igreja é verdadeiro. Em nome de jesus cristo amem.  I love you all and hope you are enjoying my letters! LOVE JAKE LANGLOIS

P.S. Superglue would be nice to have too :)
