Nov. 10th, 2008: 5 Months in Brasil

hope you guys had a good week. everything keeps moving right along here. i reached my 5 month mark yesterday. going kinda fast!
i got the thanksgiving package and im already enjoying it. one of the cider pakets got torn in the box but it was all good cause i just licked everything as i pulled it out. im excited to make the 7up salad and eat the turky things. im gonna try to save them for a while. the letters were great and me and my comp laughed so hard about the homer simpson one that kris and the kids sent. "ohh i probably shouldnt have eaten that packet of dryed gravy in the parking lot" hilarious! that was so cool to here your voice mom in the thanksgiving one. thats cool that you could record with it. my comp is probably sick of it cause i just played it over and over.
my new comp is really quiet so im doing a lot of the teaching and all the re-activating work but its all good cause it is helping me alot with the language.
it is starting to warm up a little here and everyone is getting ready for Feliz Natal! its strange that they celebrate when its so hot!
i cant believe that trent is engaged to be married! tell him i said congratulations. i kinda figured that it would happen. .
so ya me and elder barrus got robbed. it was actually like my second week in the field but i didnt want to tell you and worry you about it. a little skrawny guy with a gun robbed us but luckily just a little money not our backpacks or any thing so it wasnt to bad. i was just kinda mad cause one punch and this guy would have been out, but he did have a gun....
we saw a guy crash pretty hard core on his motorcycle rounding a corner the other day! luckily he was wearing a helmet but it cut him up good. we helped him out for a while but he just had a little shock from the crash.
all is going well and im continuing with learning alot each day. i love you guys. have a good week.
