Hello!!!
So I haven't gotten my comp yet. He comes tomorrow and I am so excited/ nervous! it still hasn't even hit me but I know when he gets here we will be working a ton.
I am glad you looked up the favela haha it is the most ridiculous thing I have ever seen in my life, but its safe. Everyone there knows the missionaries and like them a lot but I still don't like to tract there. We have a member there and we visit here every 2 or 3 weeks.
so my new area is in tabuleiro, maceió. It is almost the exact same place I was before. I can almost see my old area haha. so I don't know if I told you but this is the second time following sisters. We took the sisters apartments the two times I moved and they are super clean. No need to worry.
The work here will be really good, the members are willing to help and people like me here haha. That is ridiculous that they only stay 6 weeks now! wow! that's lame but I am glad I already started my mission at least...
Natalie went to church!? that is awesome! I am so proud of her!!! haha. I hope she liked it.   Tell her that I will be back in no time and to try to keep busy while I am here:)
You can send those emails if you want, usually I look at it on byu.com since it is a church website hahaha.

so some funny stories this week... we were knocking doors this week and some lady came to the door and said "no one is here" and my comp said "you are someone" hahahaha that was ridiculous. Nothing came of it, she was just a grumpy old lady.
and this week we had a baptism!!!! a girl named Livia she is 9 years old and her sister and dad are members. The mom of the family inst a member so we will try to work with them to get married and after get her baptized to complete the family. i sent pictures. also there are pictures of other little girls shirley shirleige shirleine sheila rayanne raissa  and in the other family ligia with the dad john. It took me a few visits but i finally know who every one is haha. The names are so similar and ridiculous.
also my comp will be Bolivian! so I will come home speaking Spanish too! whooooo!
Also I need more ties so next package in a few months can you send ties? thanks:)
Love you guys and hope everything is going well!
LOVE ELDER JAKE LANGLOIS
