I watched this
conference in the chapel with everyone else. I hate how
the pews don't let you lean back. I had to sit in a really awkward
position the whole time to be comfortable, lol.
I really liked conference. When Elder Packer said
that he's seen and spoken to Christ, it reminded me of a story I've
heard from some other missionaries, of this missionary who refused to
shave or get his hair cut, and when Elder Packer came to his mission and
saw him, he asked him why he wasn't doing that. The missionary replied
that "Jesus has a beard and long hair." Elder Packer then said, "Not the
last time I saw Him."
Don't know if that's a true story, but it's funny. But he's said that he's seen Him, so in any case he knows what he looks like!
We're
going to the Temple sometime this month, so I'm looking forward to
that. I think we're also having a zone conference with our mission
president in the temple this month.
Portuguese is coming to me easily; I think I'll be able to pick up
the language quickly once I get to Brazil. I went on exchanges with a Spanish speaking missionary a few days ago. He taught a lesson to
someone who only speaks Spanish, and the whole time I understood
everything said by him and the investigator.

We check the mail every day so it doesn't matter what day you send packages :) Thank you! I've missed pie. And contacts. In answer to your question, my socks and shoes are holding up great. I LOVE the socks; they are the best socks ever.
I took a few pictures of myself, so you can
have more pictures of me. I'm trying to remember to do that more.
I'll send them to you :)
Dad---be
