My week was alright, we had a lot of lessons and found a lot of news, the problem in this area isnt finding news, but finding people that will progress. haha. Every area always have something thats difficult. The work is still going though, so thats the good part.
Its still really hot here, but hopefully this next month it should start to cool down a little. Also this week is Carnival week. Its only the most sinfull holiday in the world. Girls dress up in like victoria secret stuff with weird feathers and they do the SAMBA dance. So yeah to let you know its totally sin weekend here in Brasil right now. Luckily for me im in the south and in a small city so its only one weekend, in other big cities everywhere else this holiday can go on for almost months.
My area is way hotter then the others, and also the good thing is my area doesnt have any hills, its all flat, the first area ive had like that. It also is on Uruguay river, i havent been there yet but i need to take some pictures there. Also somebody tried to break into our house again, we think. Elder ******* (the biggest and strongest of us four) has been way scared and shuts every door and locks them all, even the ones inside the house. But luckily, we have the protection of the Lord.
i dont know what we will be doing all day. My city is called São Borja, but i am in the end of it next to Rio Uruguay. Well this week we ate in our house 5 out of 6 days of the week. But the members didnt make us use our money, one member owns a place were they make lunch and send it to people, so the members usually always just send us food.
I love and miss you,

São Borja is a city in the Brazilian state of Rio Grande do Sul. São Borja is the oldest municipality in the Brazilian state of Rio Grande do Sul and was founded in 1682 by the Jesuits as the first of the Seven Points of the Missions, and named São Francisco de Borja, in honor of Saint Francis Borgia. It is situated on the Western Frontier of Rio Grande do Sul on the border with Argentina which is defined by the Uruguai river.

Things are going alright
Sounds like things are going great. I am glad you got to see some of my friends. I am way happy that ********* is going back to the mission. He will be a great missionary. I hope ***** is doing alright, i havent heard from him in a very long time. In fact i havent heard from anyone for a while.
Things here are going alright, we just played soccer today, it was fun but its in like the 100s. I am sweating like crazy and need to take a shower. We have a family night planned so i am going to make cookies, it will be the first time we visit the investigators in their house so we need to have a good first impression. We have been having some results these past weeks but are still very far away from having a baptism. I think i may be staying here for 7 more weeks, transfers are next pday.
Hey also i am trying to learn spanish, i am reading the book of mormon in spanish outloud everynight. In 5 days i have read 100 pgs. I am understanding and learning, and i want to come home with 3 fluent languages.
Well i love and miss you,
