So thanks for the wonderful email! it was amazing. it really shows how much you guys love me. so im getting 0 emails and 0 letters at that. 1 year really is a big step. Por favor arrependeí-vos... todos vos e vamos lembrar daquele missíonarío que saiu na missão e escrever uma carta para ele agora! ou email funciona também! so let me see what happened this week. it was Carníval here in brasíl but here in Curitiba they dont really celebrate it. so we were tranquil just working regularly but... there were a ton of peeps that went on vacation. so like at church there was like 20 people there. i had to pass sacrament. some cool stuff hapened last week though!. so i was at a members house right waiting to eat lunch and she was like elder arroyo i got a present for ya and i was like sweet! she grabs this cell phone and was like "Its yours!" and i was like whoa! so its a touch screen phone its from japan and it was an antenna that comes out so you can watch tv. it looks expensive. but... but... its screen is broken. her son sat on it and broke the screen but she told me she called around to get it fixed and everyone says they only have replacable screens in the united states and in japan. so she was like you live in the states so you can fix it and use it after the mission!. so ya i got a phone. but since i cant have it on the mish. president is holding it until i finish my mission!. cool though right!. this is the model of my phone*snip* dad can look it up!. so what else happened this week. oh we were at a less active members house to help her come back to church right.. and were just sitting and talking and shes like you guys want soda. and im like ya sure... then she brings these huge wine glasses out with orange soda and im like oh cool... and i could smell alcohol when i got in the house but then i go to drink my soda and its got the strongest smell of wine in it. and like me and my comp look at each other and then i just chug it. ive learned you dont look whats in the cup or smell anything you just got to drink the thing!. you dont know how many times i have asked for water and they give me a cup of water and i go to drink it and theres like stuff at the bottom. you just close your eyes drink and thank the person!. ya way cool right. the mission is the greatest. jk but its great mesmo. oh we had chior practice again. it was great. Tenor is way fun to sing. oh and i am ganna send you guys a package. dont worry about giving me money i can save here. but i need to know what you guys want. mom i already have 3 recipe books, and for justin i am buying a soccor jersey. thats legit from brasíl, what does everyone else want. let me know. oh ya and then to fill it i will put in like brasillian candy and packs of juice!. but thats pretty much what happened this week. oh and im going to the doctor tomorrow to check out my stomach cuz its just causing problems. but thanks for everything!. love
