Family,
Hello! How are things going? They seem like they are going pretty well! Jake congrats on the record buddy! Good job! Well this week has been really good. We have been really working hard. It takes us a couple of years to walk to one place to another. And sometimes it is very hard to locate these houses. At times people don’t even have addresses or know what their address is. It gives me a big head ache at times. We spend 2 or 3 hours looking for a house. We are going to ask president if we can ride bikes because that would help a lot!
People are really nice and kind here in Brazil. They will always look for ways to help and I’m very grateful because most of them live in wood houses. They care about the more important things in this world. Which is food, church, and The missionaries. Being on the mission I have discovered that there are two different kind of happiness’s in this life and that is a happiness for your spirit and a happiness for your body( for example food, music, movies etc..). I find that the spirit brings me more happiness and peace and that is why we keep the commandments or the rules on the mission, so we can feel and share this sweet spirit. That is something that stuck out to me this week.

Mom yes we have found a couple of less active members. Bishop, like I said is a really outstanding person. During church he announced that we will be meeting at a members home to go find less active members. So here we are the mormon gang at this members home everyone has their bikes, motorcycles and ready to work. We had a stack of papers that was thick we could have made a book. So they gave us a name to go visit and when we showed up we thought that is was a mistake, but no this member opened up a Bar. We felt really sorry for this guy. We asked if we could talk to him, but he said another day. Everybody has their own choices and agency. It kind of stinks sometimes.
Well when we arrived in our new apartment we didn’t have a working washer machine and we are still waiting for the mission to put money into our account, so we can buy a new one. Until now we have been hand washing our clothes it is annoying sometimes, but it gives me another opportunity to have a good attitude because washing your clothes with your hands isn’t as fun as it looks.
I better get going. I’m sorry I forgot to bring my camera with me. This mourning we woke up early to go play soccer. It was very fun! I am not as good as the Brazilians, but it was fun. Love and miss you all.

ps love you all
