I'm doing well! It's cold and rainy in Chapecó today. Reminds me of home! Yes, I'm healthy again, thank goodness. The cold didn't last too long.
Sorry to hear about your parking ticket. Reminded me of the stupid ticket I got in Texas. Ha ha!
I
remember seeing a preview for The Box Trolls. [We wrote about seeing that animated film this week.] I think that company is
owned by Tim Burton. My last companion said the movie Coraline, which
was made by them too, is also really good. I'll have to watch both when I get
home. ;)
We're steadily finding more people to
teach. The people we've found are genuinely interested too. Except for
this one guy we taught the day before yesterday. All he wanted to talk
about was how he thinks the Illuminati own everything and are trying to take over
the world. He knows so because he "watched a dvd about it."
I'm able to teach pretty decently now. The language is coming pretty fast. :) I
think the spiritual highlight in my life right now is the gift of
Tongues. I'm able to speak way better than I should, and sometimes while I'm talking
I say a word or two I've never heard before and it just "happens" to
be a real word that works in conveying what I'm trying to say. Way cool.
We
walk a lot and take the bus to places that are too far to walk. Members
feed us lunch every day, and they all make really good food! We get fed
here really well.
This morning for breakfast at my apartment, I ate a slice of
bread with jam, a tiny cup of strawberry yogurt, a tiny cup of chocolate
pudding, and a tiny packet of peanut butter which I mixed with honey.
It's shopping day.
Ha ha! I remember that day at the rainforest café. And yes, we were eating a chocolate Volcano. :D That place was my favorite when I was little. I still like it, ha ha! [He's responding here to a comment I made in a letter about an incident when he was seven.]
Tell Sophie I say congratulations on her new baby! I'm sure I'll be passing through Utah sometime in the future and I will pay her a visit.
As
for care packages, I would love some of Grandad's pickled beans, if you have them. Pictures would
be nice, too. And maybe a small thing of peanut butter (it's amazingly
expensive here). Anything you think I'd like :)
I'm just remembering that I had
chicken pox during the October conference last year. Can't believe that was a year
ago already! I
can't believe Setembro is over already. I feel like Augosto just ended! And I
only have 10 1/2 months left now. Yikes!
Thanks for emailing pictures, Dad (sorry I don't have time to send any of my own
today). I love seeing you all each week!
Good
luck on the SAT, Catriel! And have fun at Homecoming! And
yeah, I'm really glad you and Jon are the only siblings I have; you're a
really great sister and I'm glad we're friends. :)

Love you Mom! Thanks for writing me. I really miss you all and hearing from you is the highlight of my week! :)
Talk to you next Monday,
