wassuppp... sorry I don't have much time. We type our letters to our president starting last weeek and using a portuguese keyboard and typing in portuguese is a little more difficult. hahha

 I was thinking of the 4th of july the other day and its funny how things here are so different. but we got a new pres and hes swaggg. He said we can drink coke.  Thats all the hype how its way better here. I tried it and its legit the exact same.

 Our church got robbed the other day which sucks. We had two people get married and went to their wedding. hahahha  I'm convincing Fernando and Lita to get married in the salt lake temple sooo they'll be staying in our house and I have to find a way to help them get there.

 I'm going to blow mad dough this week on stuff that's not important here just to have.

 We fast like 3 times a week and I almost die. its starting to get hot. but other than that we don't have many investigators. We're teaching a lot of people for the first time but second visits are what's hard. but we met two guys from china. They fernandos friend and visiting. I legit was laughing soooo hard. You have to hear chinese people speak Portuguese!! Its legit sooo funny. We're having a family night with them just so I can hear them talk. but hope all is well.

July 22, 1023 A place to spend my quiet

wassupp doeee?? So another week has flown by. Its funny that tomorrow I have 6 months here. This literally was the fastest week.
We were teaching a lady who's older and is a native.  But she had a picture at age 17 and she was legit a 10 out of 10. I learned you gotta choose your wife carefully.
We can listen to EFY music so hook a boy up with that mp3 player. I can get a speaker here but the mp3 player would help. I never went to EFY so I don't know what that kind of music is but do some research.  I'm legit soft. We ran to a  workout park and I tried to do pull ups. I did like 2 and was dying. My comp (who knows nothing about working out) had to help me and I was sooo sore the next day.
 I got some portuguese pokemon cards so hook me with some from there I can give to the kid. Everyone was sooo confused how I knew so much about it.
We have a mission website. I think its missaobrasilgoiania.org or something. they just made it so we can look at it recently  but I still have no idea. you can check it out.
 I cut my hair and it sucks. I left my suit coat with a member and she'll fix it.
 I need a pic of the salt lake temple in the winter with the lights and stuff.Eeveryone wants to see it. We took a 73 year old and some other lady to church with us so hopefully it all works out. the work is good. We marked 8 baptismal dates this week but almost all fell through. People are dedicated until they have to make an effort. hope all is well. loves.

wassuuppp doeee.. so no one knows whats going on here. its trippy. we couldn't teach a lesson knocking doors and taught like 23 this week which is a lot.

 Mom, don't give up on your drawings. we had an investigator win like 5 grand worth of stuff from one.

 We were teaching a girl who was 17 wth a 2 year old and a boyfriend thats 32.... they've been together for 5 years. People are whacky here. We were teaching a guy named Geraldo who's like 75. He makes medicine from plants so you know I'm trying to get some of that. The member don't do much here.

 A lady who is an english professor thought I had more than 5 years in Brazil cause I speak the language so well hahhaha and didn't believe me when I said I had 3 months.. we're teaching a lady and she has a 3 year old who is Kurt Pascoes twin. ha

 but I went ham in sacrament yesterday. and told the members they need to start doing something and so many people were butthurt but so many were pumped. A lady said I'm getting skinnier cause my face- but I'm legit getting fatter I think. 

 Lita is legit the best investigator. she actually cares. She does more than close to any other member and isn't even baptized. she said she just wants to help the church be successful and other people.

 but nothing too exciting going on. im sick with a fever of 100 and diahrrea thats as green as grass. hahah but hope all is good there. bye

Helia gets Baptized.



BLAHHHH June24 2013

this week went by fast but was a long one at the same time. we had some crazy stuff happen but not much success. i got bit by a dog and almost put it in the hospital after. but the owner got butthurt at me -____- anyways.
 people will kill for anything here. 2 guys murdered a couple for 150 reais or 75 bucks to split between the two..
christiane is a hood. we found out she used crack 3 months ago and killed a guy so she has to wait a year to get baptized. i think my lip is getting worse cause the sun. we dont have more sabor brasil. they said we have to pay at the buffet place- soo im good on going back and the other restaurants are bad so the food is awful now..
 i made brownies for a member and they are obsessed.. my old comp left a package of the mix here and it was good. i gave my comp a pair of my shorts ... im trying to get along with him but hes uneducated.
they set up a tent in the streets and watch brasil play with a projector and everyone gets buck. we never teach during the games..
my calculator watch that was 20 bucks or 40 reais is worth 140 here so i just need to get a bunch and start hustlin on the streets haha
. i met a girl version of mike ozga.. legit sooo funny. they had riots this week and fernando and lita made the paper. they gave me 150 to hold for them so we can go mark their wedding tuesday but we have a conference tuesday cause pres is leaving so idk.
 i have a problem with my body. i weighed 87,3 or 192,4 before lunch and after i was 90,5 or 199,5.. thats not good. but other that that were just trying to find new people. helia got back from the hospital and we want to baptize her this week. but she doesnt knowcause her arm. i said just put a plastic bag on it. its just like a big shower and you just have to sit down. other than thats its a little slow. hope all is good. bye

on that Martha Stewart Grind July 1

wassssssshupppppppp.. well another week has gone by. we had conference in the mission and it legit was sad. seeing President Prieto and Sister crying made me feel bad cause they legit loved this. I gave a girl a hug 0____0. we hugged Sister Prieto hahha. but we had the whole mission together for the first time. it was cool to see some people.

 I got voted speaking the best portuguese out of the group i came with which was good! i got a white tie after so i  dont need one of those.

 I had the worsttttt diahreea and was sooo sick the other day. Fernando and Lita had a hugeeee bar b q for us and itsa big deal here and Tiago was with us but i couldnt eat i was so sick. and they were all saying thats how you know what elder moffitt is sick. haha but my pants ripped on the bottom and got my martha stewart on and fixed them.

 My comp did 3 curls and 5 pushups and I thought I needed to call an ambulance, takes mirror pics... legit the definition of unnecessary. whenver i speak english with someone or hear english music he asks me if i understand it -____- serious?

 anyways... theres a kid here who I think is a little gay. ha just femmy about his clothes and he said he uses golf pants cause they're way light and breathable. maybe I should try that out

We were teaching the other night and I got grilled. a bird just pooped on my leg. legit was sooo butthurt and i just sat on the other side of the room. we worked for 11 and a half hours one day lasst week. i legit was so exhausted. we were talking with a returned missionary who served in rio and their mission had like 190 people and baptized on average 90-95 every week and some with more than 100. haha i wish.

We baptized helia this week! that was wayyy coool! we baptized her with both of us and just put a plastic bag over her arm. ha it was awkward baptizing with 2 but i said the prayer and everything. it took us 2 tries to get but we got it. other than that we dont have much success. were just praying for some miracles cvause our ward isnt doing too good either. just always have problems. well hope all is good. love yall
