Hello!!!!
So guess what? I will be training this transfer!!!!!! it is ridiculous but I will talk about it later.
I am in the Tabuleiro ward with a temporary companion until my trainee gets here next week. The ward is awesome and I am excited to work finally! My district leader is elder McComber and we were friends at BYU haha so that is awesome. everything is great right now!
yes that means I am in a safe area now! ha I hope you are happy:)

Does dad know a Pratt from the volleyball team?
so the new area is really good. The thing that is the best is that my trainer is my next door neighbor!!! can you believe that?! I never thought I would see him that much before he left to go home but now I get to see him every day. It would be good if you sent a BYU magazine too:)
so a story for the week. we played a game in our new area called choose where to go and if we get lost you cant ask for directions. It worked perfectly! we got lost and found our way back, in an hour hahaha.  We got off on the wrong stop of the bus and it was in the middle of a jungle. I knew which direction to go to get to our meeting but we ended up hitting a cliff with a river running at the bottom. I took a picture haha. We wanted to jump it but decided to walk around. it was crazy and we were in the middle of nowhere!we got to know our area though!

so I don't know if you guys know what a favela is but look it up online. We have one in our area and everyone is crazy and drunk and loves the missionaries. oh! the eders! they are CRAZY.

another thing funny is the garbage men here. It is a garbage truck with three guys running behind it grabbing the trash and throwing it in the back. hi tech right? haha
so that is all for the week! love you guys and hopefully my comp comes next week!
LOVE ELDER JAKE LANGLOIS
