Farmer Tan...

Hi Fam,
The beloved snow has finally arrived for you guys back home!! what a 
blessing!!!!! i got home yesterday with the sickest farmers
 tan on my neck and 
arms that i have ever experienced in my life!!!
the sun yesterday was the type 
of sun that gets right to the point and burns.
i like it though but i do miss 
the snow. for some reason the
brazilian people are a lot more of a joyful, happy 
people when its hotter than all holiness. they
accept us really well this time 
of year and with christmas arriving they
 like to hear about Jesus and what he 
did for us. we had an awesome week and
 found some really great families that are 
just asking for baptism!! its really cool to find
a family that has interest in 
the true teachings of the gospel. we are
now  gonna start all the teaching and 
help them to get to the waters of baptism.
now the fun part starts!!!
ty probably wont be able to hit the slopes
this year to hard but no worries next 
year will be better for him anyways, with
me out in front and him eating dust....
thats cool that jud and chelsea are still going
strong and that the job 
is going well for him. it would be pretty
sweet if he could maybe hook me up 
with a job when i first get home...
 im way excited to see the pictures of Ariens 
new house. you guys told me that it was an
older home but by the time that they 
finish with it, it will be brand new!!!
with what you have been telling me about 
the house, now all that it is lacking is a swimming pool!!
dont give any ideas to justin...
thanks for sending the package mom.
im sure that it will get here 
in a few weeks. i sent out a little package
for the fam today. you guys can 
decide if you want to wait till christmas
to open it or when you get it. you 
guys will be excited to see what it is...
i really dont need a whole lot of things and the
socks, legend. just about every american
missionary here has these socks cause the 
really hold out strong. there is a brazilian elder
here that asked me if i could 
get him a pair of pajama pants.
 the really thick ones. theyre not sold here in 
hardly any part of brazil. he said if possible
 a checkered pattern would be 
cool. i wont be needing cold clothing
now until i get home. i just have one more 
season of hot weather and thats it. time is
flying by!!!!!
next thanksgiving instead of rice and beans,
turkey and mashed potatoes!!
i love you guys, have a good week and enjoy the snow
for me this year!!
só alegria
