REPLY TO DAD:
I was never really that sick, no reason to worry. I just felt crummy for a while. The only reason it kind of stunk was because I was still working and couldn't just lay around like I normally do when I don't feel good. I'm fine now though. No problems.
Does the senior Bishop get paid more? You should look into that.
Oh, about writing letters back, the issue is I don't have an address (and I seem to forget every week). I'll just send the letters to the home address and you can pass them along. They're going to be sent this week though.
Tell the ward Hi.
Well off to Mom's email.

REPLY TO MOM:
So as I told Dad, I am doing just fine. No more sickness. I'm not sure what it was. Honestly I'm probably taking care of my body the best I have in my life, and I seem to get sick more often now? Weird. Oh well. But no worries, I'm fine. If I had to go the hospital it would have been no problem. We all have medical insurance, we just flash the card and they will take care of us. Everyone says its like the best insurance in Brasil.
I don't know what happened to the email last week. I sent it right after the other one. We had to use a computer at a member's house, because all the lan houses were closed because it was a holiday last Monday.
Jordon Helmer, is that Breanna's boyfriend? Are they still dating?
Umm our next zone conference should be soon. I didn't look at the sulcessinho (newsletter & schedule) yet.
Oh I forgot, tomorrow is transfers, Elder Kolb is leaving and going to Parque Bristol. My companion will be Elder Simspon, I already met him a few times. He is from Puyallup. He has to have about 1 year and 3 months or so. I'm not sure.
Yeah, it's kind of hard to forget when you hit milestones like that. DOUBLE DIGITS. I still feel like I just left the MTC, like I'm still a kid in the mission.
Parabens pra você, parabens pra você, nesse data querida, parabens pra você. The happy birthday song is really similar. But different. It's also always accompanied by clapping.
Katie is not allowed to use my room. It's just not right. And if she does, no girl-ifying it.
So Milton was interviewed and will be baptized this next Sunday. His son also went to church with him on Sunday. His family is really our focus right now. We are really going to try and use his baptism to get the rest of his family more interested and going to church. Other than him it is just a few other people that aren't really close to baptism yet. Lots of people are just nice enough to let you in one time and teach them, but then they really don't want more. But they usually won't just tell you, so you have to try and catch them in the house and give them what I call the DTR lesson. DTR is something I stole from Utah dating, known as Defining the relationship. It's basically the lesson, where you have to be a little blunt and to the point and see if the person really wants to hear more or not. I actually love those types of lessons. I don't know why. I think it's because they end up being a lot more serious, and you can really find the people who are interested.
We knock doors pretty much everyday. Lot's of appointments fall through and we usually knock doors or visit old investigators when the appoinment falls through. Also the mission goal is 140 contacts for every companionship every week. So we usually try and do 20 a day. Which is sometimes harder than you would think. Contacts are both fun and annoying. It really depends on who you end up talking to. They really are helping me with my patience though. Sometimes people just try to argue. Also a lot of churches here have people kind of brainwashed. I can already tell what church the person goes to when they walk up and say their first sentence to me. They have lots of empty sayings that their pastors tell them, but they don't even really know what they are saying. Sometimes I have to really bite my lip.
Well that's all for this week. Next week another transfer will have already started.
Woot
