Oi!
Como vao? Eu estou muito bem e eu estou muito animado para minha reassignment este Quarta-feira. Once again I would like to thank you all for the support and letters. They are all so great and I love getting them and reading them. I do apologize if it takes me a little to respond. I am a little behind. This week we hosted the new missionaries. My district was one of the ones that helped take suitcases and show the new missionaries their rooms and classrooms. We've been asked to do it again this Wednesday. But right before we do that we get our reassignments which is extremely exciting. My three guesses: St. George, Ogden, or Denver. I would love any of those way too much. Actually I'm excited for anywhere, but my fingers are crossed for Jacksonville, Florida or Everrett, Washington.
We had Elders reassigned to Detroit, Pittsburgh, St. George, Baltimore, and Riverside, California this week. Oh and Sister Doyle was reassigned to Temple Square. She was surprisingly not happy about that. Both Sister Smith and Sister Ricks are extrememly jealous. Most of them left this morning so we woke up and saw them off at 4 in the morning. Yeah I'm pretty tired today. Exciting news for last night though. Elder Hutchins said I was mumbling portuguese in my sleep last night though. I'm pretty excited that the language is coming. Hopefully I get to do my online portion in the next week. There's 3 of us in my district who haven't including me and my companion.
I inherited the Branch Tie for my last week. It's name is "The Shredder". I have pictures. It is possibly the most hideous, heinous tie I've ever seen in my life. And it's becoming a little thread-bare. I wore it one day. Once I leave I'll pass it on.
Yesterday we had movie night and we had a lack of chairs so I sat cross legged on the floor the whole time. I didn't realize it, but my leg fell completely asleep. When i tried to move and get up. Nothing happened. I fell and almost hit my head on the table. I was fine though. Elder Morrey helped me up and I just sat it out waiting for it to go back to normal.
One of the Elder's twin brother came in this week. He's going to Brazil also, but he's not in our branch. He does live in our building though. We're getting 10 new Elders this week and 2 new Sisters. We're pretty excited. Most for the Sisters, but it's always fun to have new missionaries in our branch.
with our investigators this week we taught Arnaldo and Rosa. We have a baptismal date with Rosa after our second visit. Arnaldo is harder. Irma Jacobs is back which is great. It's funny because she gets mixed up with english all the time. The other day she told us that in portuguese the adjectives always come first then realized her mistake and fixed it, but we were all thoroughly confused for a second. She learned english on her mission in Brazil from her american companions.
We met an Elder from Rio de Janeiro this week. He came into our class and talked to us for a bit. He's going somewhere Spanish speaking. I forget. he had such a strong accent though. A Rio one with lots of Sh's. Hard to explain.
It's hard trying to get everything done like dry cleaning, haircuts, and all that stuff before we leave. There are so many missionaries. We get a four minute phone call this week. I'm going to aim for Thursday from about 5-6. That area. So stand waiting by at the home phone if you could, please. I don't have lots of time and I'd like to talk to you all. I have to welcome our new missionaries after that. It's my job.
I miss you all and I'm sorry I'm not a faster typer. have fun guessing where I'm going. Thank you for all the letters and prayers. I love and miss you all. The church is true and Jesus Christ lives. I testify that God love each and every one of us.
Love you too,
Elder Reeve Sudweeks
