We don't go on the computer at the same time every day as you can see that today I am on at a different time haha.  Its fine if you cant send mail. It's hard to read and write back anyway haha. I never have enough time. I think we will have two or three baptisms this next week so that will make up for it  and there are a lot of less actives  here. We do have a ward though and the boundaries aren't that big.  We have plenty of people to run the ward and everything is going well. Our bishop is really good too. I can't believe your packages actually get through so easy . I told elder McCann that mine got here in 6 days and he said that never happened to him. No I never bought a razor because  they don't sell them here haha. There is a mall pretty close by but we don't go there too often. Maybe I will next time we go. Its fine though. I don't grow much facial hair so I just chop off the little I have every 3 days. Everyone is getting married! as soon as I left their have been  20 engagements  haha. Maybe I was holding everyone back. We had a wedding here ! it was so fun haha. tons of food and lots of crazy people. The wife will be baptized next week. Its really cool to see  a marriage in Brazil.

 I cant believe that you guys actually got the video ! haha that's so embarrassing but hilarious. Its about time Brandon gave it up. I don't think it is against the rules to ride on the back of a truck. It was enclosed so it was really safe. oh there was a bike  accident the other day and I think both of them broke their backs. The bikers here are crazy...   The bug bites have stopped. I think I taste like a Brazilian now and they don't want to eat me. and I haven't used anything you sent me with  yet. haha its not that hot because of the wind and me feet are normal. haha I use sun block and that's all. so I have tons of extra stuff that I don't think I will ever need.  hopefully. I want a letter from Teresa and Louie. So the picture situation is terrible. It takes 30 minutes to upload  a picture. I don't know what to do... I cannot believe that Grandma is still alive.
  Conference  was interesting... it was in Portuguese  and it was the worst conference of my life haha. I understood about 3%. I could understand when I really focused but I didn't have enough energy to listen for more than I minute at  a time.. I thought it was hard to pay attention when it was in English.    ha ha oh well.

SO... I forgot to tell you about that guy that stuttered! imagine how hard it is to understand a person that stutters in a different language! !!!! oh my gosh! it sounded like he was talking 12 times faster than everyone else. Needless to say I had no idea what he was saying. I have some random things that I wrote down during the week to tell you. ..... here they eat cough drops as candy. haha like a mint. weird... oh can you send floss next time too? oh I had liver for the first time... different but fantastic haha. every time I wear Sara's wedding tie it makes me happy. Just to remember that day.. oh and during priesthood session I hope that dad wasn't alone and I also hope that he ate a Carls Jr. haha. anyway things are great. we played volleyball this morning... wasn't even a contest haha. iIwill talk to you all next  week  ! love you all! LOVE ELDER JAKE LANGLOIS
