It's my birthday!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
but I am in Brazil......  Thank you to everyone who sent me birthday wishes!
We are going to an all you can eat pizza place tonight to celebrate! so excited!
Skyping with you guys was awesome! cant wait till the next time!
 Don't worry Natalie I wont come home fat. I am keeping my figure hahaha
I am the disrict leader now.  I am taking pictures still just waiting to find a computer that doesn't have the usb blocked.
Sister Gonzaga called me and sang to me in English. The accent was funny, but she did really well.Things are going well. In two weeks we should have 3 baptisms and in a month we should have a wedding and a baptism. We are hoping that everything goes smoothly and that we can help them from giving up. It's fun being a missionary, almost like a game that I am trying to win but I liked what President Holland said" we are doing the most important work in the universe! the salvation of souls"
Joshua Dale Wong is my comps name. He is querky but likes to work and I am laughing all of the time.
I think those were fireworks you heard when we were Skyping because there weren't any cops that came. Don't worry about me:)
It would be awesome to win that trip to Brazil, but as you know the Langlois family is the worst with luck. I have never won a raffle in my entire life.
So my comp is from Portland Oregon and he is a convert. His family aren't members. He likes to sing, and I just laugh at just about everything that he does.
Also avocado is sweet here. They make smoothies with them and use them like fruit instead of salty vegetable things like guacamole. I thought that was weird
Also can you buy some byu shirts really cheap that I can give to other people. The 5 dollar ones for football with various sizes. That would be fantastic.
So funny story, some guy came to church this week and sat in the first class. We talked to him after and gave a 2 minute lesson about the restoration of Christ's church in these days and he said" alright I am staying in this church for the rest of my life and I want to get baptized"  also he found out about how we can't drink and he said " yesterday was the last day I will ever drink in my life." hahaha He is hilarious, a little crazy but an awesome guy.
Anyway happy mothers day again to all the mothers! and hope everything is going well.
love you all
LOVE ELDER JAKE LANGLOIS
