Família e meus amigos!

My week was good once again, but a little disappointing on Sunday. None of our investigators went to church. We tried to pick up 5 to go to church with us and no one came... we are trying everything! anyway....me and my comp are really tight, we get a long great.  I know that is just a tool of Satan and we will receive the blessings soon.

I still haven't gone to a post office, but I might today and if not i will see if the mission already received it Thursday when we go to a zone conference. If not, next p day I will go to the post office for sure. Does it matter what post office?
The BYU volleyball team seems like it is struggling without Taylor. I hope he gets better soon so they can actually win this year. That is crazy that his hand broke, I still don't believe it. 

Can't believe that Rachael is already coming home. It seems like she just left. Grandma and grandpa too haha. Time is flying by for me too. Every week is like a blink of an eye. Almost to the point it feels like we don't have enough time to work. 

The Spanish Book of Mormon is for me of course! I am learning a ton of Spanish, and I prayed the other night in Spanish hahaha. It is awesome.

Carnaval finally ended and without an injury to the missionaries. There were +/- 100 deaths on the day of Carnaval and there was a fight against the judges of the floats and samba schools. it was crazy. Everything is fine now. 

so guess what? I am the pianist of our ward! I am learning how to play piano too! I can sight read the right hand on almost every hymn, and I can actually play some of them but the pianos here come with all of the hymns in them and I just touch one key and it plays. haha so I am almost the pianist. 

and we went to the Catholic church this week! we have an investigator that invited us to go there. It was... different. Everyone was staring at the Mormons in the Catholic church, and there was a time when the "father" asked that all of the people that were visiting for the first stand up so we did and it was like everyone was judging us (all 800) at once haha. I felt so awkward but just smiled the entire time. There wasn't one person that greeted me either. It was fun haha but if any of you that are catholic and haven't gone to the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Saints, then you definitely should visit there. I went to your church... now you get to visit the church of Jesus Christ! 

I'll write a little in Portuguese for you guys alright?

entaõ, tudo está bem aqui em brasil. estamos trabalhando demais e eu sei que Deus vai nos abençoar pelos sacrifícios que estamos fazendo. eu amos todos vocês e quero que vocês visitem a igreja dos " mórmons" só para provar. eu sei que isso vai trazer felicidade em suas vidas. 

Até mais!!!
