The first week went by really really slow but since then it has gone by fast. I can't wait till I actually get to go outside of the CTM because it is like a prison in here. We get pizza every Wednesday so we don't need that pizza party. Missionties is awesome because getting letters is the most exciting thing that could ever happen to the missionary in the CTM. Sad but true. I don't have much time to read Dan or Robins email because I have 30 minutes. I will have to read them once I get more time in the field. Our program was supposed to get harder yesterday but it is going to start tomorrow. It seems like we won't have time to do anything. Our schedule will be jam packed. My hair on my head is straight now because it is so short. I am used to it now so it doesn't really bother me anymore. Sounds like Taylor is doing well at the Junior National World Volleyball. Hopefully they end up winning the whole tournament. Tell Sara and Steve they can email me. The only guideline is that it has to be immediate family. I got Sara's letter and am sending one out today. I also am sending one to Dan. Anyway, it was a pretty good week. Last Tuesday while I was outside of the CTM we went to Cheney's and I got a package! It was weird though because there was a lot of Brazilian things in it. It wasn't American Doritos or Ruffles haha. One Wednesday while we were in our classroom we were throwing keys around and somehow they flew out the window.... whoops. So we tied all of our shoelaces together and put a safety pin on the end. I ended up fishing it from the second story. That was pretty much the most exciting thing that will ever happen in the CTM. I took a picture so I will send those asap. The Portuguese is coming along really well. On the way to the temple this morning I was forcing myself to think in Portuguese so I think that will help me a ton! Our teachers are still awesome, we are going to Charrascaria which is exactly like Tucanos with our teachers. We are leaving in 10 min! I am so excited! I am buying envelopes so I can actually send letters to people that have written me. The food is still awesome. I wish I could take pictures of it because I don't really know what it is to explain it to you. Gym class is still pretty lame, but with this new schedule we might get some more people into our gym and maybe even some athletic ones. Todos as coisas estão muito bom. Eu estão animado para sair o CTM e sair no campo. Voces são muito importante para me e eu guardo em minha oracãos todos os noites. Ate Mais. LOVE ELDER JAKE LANGLOIS
JAKE WOULD LOVE TO HEAR FROM YOU! Thank you to those who have already written. He loved hearing from you!
****Please write Jake. Letters from home are so important to the missionaries. Respond to this email with a note or letter to Jake. I will forward it to Missionties and they will print it in Brazil and mail it to him. Jake will receive it in 2-3 days.
If you want to mail a letter, you will need to use his Mission Home address because he will be out of the CTM by the time it gets there.
