Christmas Phone Call.....he coming home in 46 days!!!

My missionary sacrificed last week's pday so he could take Christmas off. It was great hearing his voice and the plans that he has when he gets home. He received his flight plans and will be flying out of Curitiba on February 9th and coming in to Jackson airport on the 10th. He will be returning with only the clothes on his back and leaving everything behind. Instead he will fill his bags with momentos of his two years serving the Lord and the people in Curitiba.
The countdown begins....46 days......

but ya this was my week, wet and tiring..

Whoo! you found a barney!!! ok So it would be a lot safer if you sent it to me. I can give it to them. I'm pretty sure i will stay in this area. if not its no problem to get it to them. They only have one kid hes 3 i think. He loves barney. 
im ganna call you guys from the church. The bishops office so there wont be anyone there. just my companion. sorry no singing. but i will prolly call in the afternoon. next week you will have more info. i will even call to confirm!. 
This week was wet! It rained a ton. Man i got soaked 2 days in a row!. it  just got cold too!. But i know it will start to get hot again. So yesterday we went to an area in our zone called "Lapa". we did whats called a "blitz" when a bunch of missionaries go into one area and teach to give the set of missionaries there  a boost!. Man its like in the boonies. We took a bus and it took us 2 hours to get there!. And everyone there is catholic. but it was great!. Tomorrow we have our Christmas conference!. I cant wait, its ganna be sweet. but ya this was my week, Wet and tiring.. untill next week!

for my birthday we had a bar-b-que

WOW!!!. How should i start off today.... Last week was nuts!. Let me tell you, me and my companion worked our butts off!!! We taught a lot of lessons and 17 of them were with a member present!. My District leader challenged the disctrict to teach 20 with member, 10 first lessons (The Restoration) mark 8 baptisimal dates and do our 210 contacts 70 addresses!!! Me and my comp got so close. the other missionaries didnt even get half of it!. But we also had a baptism this past sunday!. It was also just amazing. A Golden Family! an inactive member found us on the street a couple of weeks ago and said he had just moved into the neighborhood and wanted to know where the church was. so we told him and he said his wife wasnt a member. so long story short, we taught her and she got baptised.!. She read the book of mormon in 1 week!!!. They already gave us lunch and a present for the baptism!. A box of chocolate!!. Then for my birthday we had a barb-e-que and they gave me a soccer jersey!. It was sweet!. But our week was full! Nuts!. And wow it was so great to read those facebook comments thanks for sending them mom. But man do i miss home! Seeing all my old friends!. But here in 7 weeks ill be back. ive got the biggest farmers tan too!. its nasty!. but today is packed. Me and my comp are ganna go to lunch with the same family (Who got baptised sunday) They are taking us out to a restaurant in Center of Curitiba, Then i got to practice for the choir then our choir will sing in the mall in Curitiba. I will try to get a video!! but i got to go now cuz the bus takes forever! Love you guys and hope yall have  a great week!. Oh and start plannig how yall will talk with me and chris for christmas!!! thats 2 Phone calls and no i dont want to have a conference call together lol Love ya
