Wow. That is some very upsetting news. But I am very happy for the knowledge we have of what comes after this life. That it isn't just the end. I'm sure Judy is a lot happier now. And I remember reading something that Bruce R. McKonkie said about suicide that we can in no way make a judgement of the person because usually there is a more serious depression issue behind it, where the person loses control and that only Heavenly Father is truly able to understand the situation.
Well I'm glad that it sounds like Lebron is starting to play like he really wants it. Who had the first games at home? Kind of a bummer that Tiger has no killer instinct any more. I stand by the fact that his colapse wasn't the crash and marital issues but it all roots from when Y. E. Yang showed the world that he is beatable, or maybe he just showed Tiger that he is beatable. Oh well.
Well off to mom's email. Tchau

So I have done two divisions so far and strangley enough I had to stay in our area where I don't know anything. Usually the LD stays in his area to show the other missionary how a good area should be. But the areas of the others have been weak and needed some baptismal interviews done, and since that is Elder Kolb's duty I stayed in my area, completely lost. Haha. It was fun though. I did divisions with Elder Castro and Elder Teixera. Both Brazilians with over a year. It was cool, being on divisions is really fun actually. So there are only three companionships in our district, including ours. And yes we still have Zone Leaders, they are just in another district. Funny story, Elder Perrell came to Mauá too, so we see each other all the time.
Elder Kolb has been here since January. So looks like he'll be leaving soon, which I hope means I get to be a senior this next transfer. We'll see how it goes. I work out, but not to the same level as Elder Kolb, I spend awhile stretching and then just do some sit ups and push ups, and now pull ups because he has a pull up bar. That's all for me. I'm not trying to stay in shape for football or anything.
So the weather here is so weird, it heats up and then cools down, sometimes in the same day. So I am still good on hot chocolate. Thank you.
Oh I got the other package by the way. Thank you very much. We are enjoying the Milky Ways quite a bit.
So each class of English has about 20 students. We teach Tuesday nights a basic class, and also on Saturday morning, an advanced class and a basic class. It is a great source of contacts and investigators. We teach them in the chapel. We have our own keys.
So we went to the temple today. President Tanner went with us, and he brought his daughter and son in law. It was pretty cool. It's in Português and they use very old proper Português which I think sounds so cool. I wish everyone talked like that.
So Laura's husband served in Belo Horizante, Ai. Haha. They are known for having an accent, kind of like a Canadian accent where they say ai a lot. There are a lot of missionaries here from Minas Gerais (the state where Belo Horizante is the capital).
Lauren went to Costa Rica? WHAAAAA? Does she speak Spanish fluently now? That's awesome. Maybe we'll be able to communicate when we both get back. I mean in a language other than English.
Tanner is growing up too? What? It's going to be really weird to come back to all the little deacons/almost teachers, being priests already. They'll always be deacons to me.
Well, I have sad news, my camera is slowing dying...... The picture quality is just getting worse and worse everytime I look at it. Right now, it's like the pictures were taken by a really bad cell phone. I didn't notice for a little while, but sadly some of the pictures I have from saying goodbye in Diadema are really bad quality. So, I hate to ask but would it be possible to get a new one? If so, just be sure that it uses SD memory cards ( I think that rules out all Sony digital cameras), I don't need anything too fancy, it just needs to take nice clear photos. Also I am starting to run low on contacts, so if you could send a few more boxes that would be much appreciated. They don't seem to last as long here. I don't know why. Maybe it is because of all the pollution here. I don't know.
Oh and one last thing. Just food for thought, but I think it would be really cool if you guys came down here to pick me up. Obviously that is a ways in the future, but it's never to early to start planning. I think it would be really great to show you around and visit people and for you to meet President Tanner and Sister Tanner, and all sorts of cool stuff. But you know, just a thought.
Well that's all for this week. Tchau, te amo.
