hello hello, well this is my last p day out in the field and its been good so far! i loved the pictures you guys sent they were awesome. i always love seeing some pictures from home of everyone. well a week from today i will be on a plane to joão pessoa. should be awesome. im so excited. i promise i will wear sunblock mom, im kinda nervous cuz i have been inside so long that i dont have a tan at all and now when i go there its going to fry me right away. it will be nice when my skin is used to it. but im so excited to just get out there and get lost in everything. i think i will like it alot more than são paulo, its so big here and so dirty. JP is supposed to be alot more spread out and its like the 2nd greenest city in the world or something like that. i dont really know. well this week has been a good one. i weighed myself the other day and i have lost 5 or 6 pounds here in the mtc so i was pretty happy about that. i thought i would end up like elder orme and gain 16 pounds. haha that would suck. you asked if i knew an elder hurst and yeah i do he is in the other district my age. he is a really cool kid. so thats kinda funny that you asked about him. well the 50 dollars is like 75 reais down here so i am going to buy alot of cookies and drinks and stuff for this week. im so stoked. i bought me and elder charlesworth a cookie shake just a minute ago so that was really good. thanks so much for that! its kinda sad i went to the temple today for the last time for like 2 years. it was good though. we need to go when i get back home. haha well things here are going good. i think winter is wearing off a little because i have been sweating alot more lately. i better just get used to it though right. well i was thinking about how to do pictures and i will just have to wait till i get out into the field. i was thinking i would back them all up on my hard drive and then send home the first card so you could have them all too. let me know what you think about that. we will see what we want to do. im not sure yet. well there is 4 pg kids right now in the mtc so its pretty sweet. we are representing good. and david pierce is on his way here in like october. tell t web and cam both good luck for me. they are both such studs and are going to be awesome missionaries. well i love you all so much and this next week is going to be crazy but i know that the lord goes before me and is bearing me up. i love you all so much and im excited to share all my fun stories ill have next week! it should be great. the work is really starting now. have an amazing week and youll be in my prayers. love you all so much. love ty
