11/7/11

hello!
I had a fantastic Halloween. We didn't do anything haha. Seems like the Halloweens in the US are still the same and sounds like you didn't buy enough candy this year haha. basically you dressed up as me for Halloween. That's really cool... first time that has ever happened! 
Everything in our area is fantastic. The food is good the members are good and we are continuing to have success. We had three more baptisms this week! it was so fun! Isabelle Elisabete and Leandro. I have pictures that I will put up. The two girls were contacts on the street one is 16 the other is 8. Leandro is a 14 year old kid and we were teaching his dad. He was interested and really likes call of duty and English so it was a perfect baptism for me hahaha. look it helped again;)
I haven't heard from Tyler for a few weeks. I will shoot him an email to see if he has left yet or not. We will see.... I already emptied the stuff out of the first boxes and only have the stuff that is wrapped left.
and yes I got Sara]s package and I opened it! hahaha I hope she isn't mad but I didn't want to wait. It had everything that I could want. Especially the deodorant toothpaste pads for shoes and the candy basically everything. The deodorant here isn't the best and they don't have the sticks only spray. oh! and the Betty Crocker things will be awesome as well!
and those pictures can be sent through email! I need them by next week! so please remember for next week.
That's funny you ask if I am growing. I have no idea and i don't know if I am gaining weight either. If I start to look fat in the pictures you better tell me! I have a story about riding buses. It happened today. We traveled to a post office for Elder Maciel and we took a small bus on the way back. There were no more seats so I had to stand. We took a picture.... :) 
Its true. Christmas will never be the same until I get home haha. 
I have no idea what the rules are for Christmas  when it gets closer I will ask. 
so... some stories this week.... 
last Tuesday we visited a lady that is a little off her rocker (like that?)  and she had a dream about killing her husband and about putting a bible in the mouth of her child and she asked us to interpret.... yeah how the heck am I supposed to interpret that? we made up something about how she needs to take care of her children and be the man of the house or something like that. Not the best answer but better than her killing her husband! 
I cut my own hair! last week we had hair cuts but he didn't cut the front very well so I did this week. nothing special. It rained like crazy this weekend and we didn't have umbrellas with us hahaha it was awesome!

I forgot to tell you guys that my companion is a district leader. This means that the president trusts me to put me with him. I will keep you updated on everything that is going on. Its crazy how fast this first quarter of mission is going.
and on a sad note, everyone in our house was sick last week. Stomach for me. Everything is better now though. It already passed. No need to worry at all. 
Hope you guys have fun for the holidays! eat a lot for me and remember that i love you and i am thinking about you! That's all I have this week. love you all!!!
LOVE ELDER JAKE LANGLOIS
