Right now in the CTM there are less than 100 missionaries. We have gotten a total of 10 American missionaries in the past 4 weeks. When our week goes there will only be 17 left and however many Brazilians there are. It is crazy. That took forever to get that letter there! Hopefully the gift card was in it:) haha I didn't need it so I decided to just send it. I love looking at the pictures from the wedding. They are my favorite. I bought new scripts today at the temple. Which was awesome! I just ask for letters because they make me happy.  I don't think I need an mp3 player. I don't know when I would ever use it and listen to music. I am sure I will be really busy when I get to the field. My companion is... rough. He will not get up on time and has no work ethic. I get mad at him sometimes but I realize I cant change him. He won't be the best if he keeps up his attitude... I am sure Thomas isn't very happy for starting school. I never was but hopefully he tries out for the basketball team and he needs to keep me updated on things!  I guess you are about to do the first without Jake family vacation, so lame. But I realize it has to happen sooner or later. That's awesome Heather and David bought the van. Let them know that I cleaned that car with all my heart so they better enjoy it!

Anyway, this week was pretty good. I got the new companion. ha and last p-day we went to a juice place which was delicious. The best drink you will ever have! We have done the same things as always except we went to the Campinas temple. This temple is really really big! It is like a house made for me. So I really enjoyed it, plus the air there isn't as smoggy so it is really nice:) I am still doing well, I just don't have much to say as the days are identical. I get out of here 2 weeks from Tuesday! How awesome is that! I love you all, and don't be afraid to write me if you happen to be bored one afternoon. LOVE ELDER JAKE LANGLOIS

some things good to send me: duct tape, pictures, batteries, m&ms. ha I had more but I forgot and now I am getting kicked off in 30 seconds. Love you!
So my time stopped at 1 second:) hahahaha so I can think about what I need. Nothing actually. Just more pictures. Oh and I never told you some weird things that are in Brazil. The locks on the doors are weird. They are little twisty screws that are turned. And the drinking fountains have 2 flavors-natural and cold. Now  I have to get off. Love you!


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.  The easiest way is to 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.  Once piece of paper with an envelope it $.98.
