Calor de Mais! October 15, 2008

hey mom

sorry about the e-mail last week, i sent one and everything but it didnt get to u huh? i wonder what happened...
any ways this week went by really good and fast! the only thing now is that it is gettting really hot here now and the humidity is crazy. we wake up ready to get out of bed because it is so hot. im getting used to it and in a way i kinda like it so its working out good.
i cant believe that it has already snowed there. i love in when it gets to be october usually because the temperature is just about right at that time but it sounds like an early winter back home.
thats too bad that ty got so sick and missed all of home coming week. what did he have? it must have been pretty bad for him to miss a whole week of school.
im sure that arien is going to get along great with those younger kids and a challenge is always good. she is up to it!
so now that jud is reaching the next stage in drug court do the rules get a little more relaxed now. like curfew and all that? i got his letter this week. it was good to hear from him.
we had an old investigator come to church this last week by himself and he had a whole new outlook on things. we actually dropped him because he wasn't progressing at all but now that he wants the gospel in his life we are working on getting him baptized. he told us that as he walked in to the church he felt something different, something really good and he even bore his testimony. i think will get him baptized before to long.
we have the mission olympics this next p- day so that should be fun. futebol, volé e basquet.
the language is still slowly but surely moving forward. i will get it some day.
well thats all the news for me here in sunny brasil for this week. have a good week!
i love u guys!
