Letter Wed. August 13, 2008

Im made it to CURITIBA! it feels so good to be out in the field finnaly. i am loving it so far. of course it is only my second day but its awesome. my new companion is really cool and he seems like a really good trainer. He said that there is a good chance that i will get my feet wet this transfer.....so i guess will c how that goes. the president and his wife are way nice and it was a good interview that i had with him. we were able to send a letter home at his house but i was kinda rushed for time so it isnt to much but u should get it soon. thanks for the package. the scripture cause and the jump rope will be very usefull. but especially the seeds. i was glad for the letters to. there werent any pictures in there though? ther is no post office in my area of jardin do sol so i cant send to many letters but i still do receive them. so the plane ride went good and then we ate lunch and had a meeting where we met our new comps. the meeting was over my head cause it was in portuguese but thats ok. i was amazed with how much the missionarys that have been out a year could speak so well. my companion elder Burrus is way cool. he is an American so we still speak english but im hoping to pick up alot from him. the apartment is awesome also! way getto but way awesome! the shower head is something else. we have no hot water heater so the water is heated by a coil that u have to strikewhile the water is running. it shocks ya some times. ill have to send ya some pictures. so tomorrow were gonna do some lesson with some people. im gonna do the best i can with what little portuguese i know. the bus ride to the area was a crazy one. i had all my lugguage and there were a million people on the bus that i just had to crowd in with. we took the wrong bus and had to back track but it ended up good cause i was able to see the Temple. its beautiful. we finally made to the apartment after a little backtracking but it worked out good. so things are back under way back home.im glad that u guys are all workin hard and stayin happy.i love u all and ill let ya know more about evrything here next week. Love Elder COATS
