A Good Opportunity

hey mom,
the new area is a really good one and i've been really excited
to get out and work each day. Sunday was really fun cause i
was able to talk to the members in my very first ward here on
the mish. we share the same chapel on sundays so it was
really cool to talk with them and lots of people didn't know
what to say when they saw me. made me feel pretty good.
i'm excited to be able to do a division with the elders that
are working in the area. president has set a new thing that
we have to do two divisions per week with the elders in our
zone to help them with the work in their areas. its really fun
and it gives us a good opportunity to get to know lots of great
elders.
we have been working to get us a teaching group this
week and were on the prowl for the "elects".
pretty much the best and only way to find the people that are
waiting for your message is talk to EVERYONE. so we have
been doing our best to do that. here in Curitiba the people are
a little bit more closed and ya got to work hard to catch their
attention but its fun and things are going really well.
my new comp is from san diego california. i was wondering if he
was related to tiffany and kurt boyack but he has no idea who they
are so i don't think that they are related.
so we went to the mission office last week to get some stuff and
in the bus terminal we heard this dude start screaming and we saw
him come around the corner chasing another dude. of course it
caught everyone's attention so we all tried to figure out what was
going on. the dude behind throws a big rock at the other and then
gives up and takes a sit down on the bench near the bus stop. the
dude then realizes that he has 2 bullet holes in his arm...! so he
just kinda looks at his arm while holding it up and starts screaming
bloody murder. it was dripping pretty hard core. later a guard came up
and helped him out but it was a little too much excitement in the terminal...
everyone just running around not knowing what to do. our bus got there a little
after so we got out with out any problems. but don't worry mom. we're good and
safe!!!
we have a few good families that we are teaching now and we left
some good invites for them. i know that these next few months are gonna
be really good ones.
sounds like ty is still that same old ty. just shaves his head out of the blue.
i finally got the pictures that you sent forever ago. the fam looks great and
kris and kam and rob and peri and gram and loyal and the whole gang.
looks like dad has got a start on the bike also. were gonna get 'er lookin good
when we get done. im excited to be able to go out in the shop with dad again.
its good that your enjoying the exercising mom. by that little newspaper
article that you sent me it looks like grolls gym is pretty ligit!
i'm glad that it is warming up for you guys there. its been a little rainy
the last few days but the fruits are in season once again and thats always
a good part of the year. we found a little fruit place that you pay 1.29 per kilo of
whatever fruit ya want. good stuff!!! i need to start eating more to gain some
weight back that i lost over the summer.
i'm sure the package will get to me quick now that i'm back in Curitiba. thanks mom!
i really liked that soup that you sent a while ago that ya add hot water and stir for 10
minutes and then let boil. that homestyle chicken noodle was a good taste of american
soup!!
thanks for all the love and support mom. things are going great here and im glad to
know that all is well back home also.
i love you guys!!!! have a great week!!!
Até,
Elder Coats
