WEll the past couple weeks have been crazy I know I didn't email you guys last week, I didn't feel like I had anything to say sorry....

Any ways I got the package, and my wall is now covered in the pictures and drawings of the little kids, and the old kid(megan) haha

It is a really great package I love it alot!!!!
ohhhhhhhhhh who ever but Riesen's in the box wins favorite candy ever!

Well so John Peter Birth Holy Ghost gotta love the names here in Brazil) any who he was baptized it was really great.

We had Zone Confrence and Elder Ajuaja or something like that of the area 70 burned us about our work, then in the same sentence told us the São PAulo south mission was one of the most productive missions in Brazil, it made a lot of sense......(not really)

It's cooled off a little like a little not a lot like not 90 just 85, but it's better it's easier to sleep at night or I'm just used to it now!

April 7,2009
hi!

So Elder Fonseca received a transfer He was sent to Santa Andre, he's a zone leader now, so thats good for him bad for me beacuse we worked really well together.

So it has fianlly happened, I can only speak portuguese now. My new companion. Elder Borges does not speak English. He knows a little but no where near being able to speak
I had lunch at a sisters house, it was really great a good cake in all!(NO EGGS thankfully)

Did you all like general Confrence? It is pretty awesome to have The Prophet called of God giving us guidance. I really enjoyed this confrence, a lot better then October(mainly becuse i was watching it not at the hospital!)

So anything new with anyone of yall?

I baptized that family last week. I have to get creative on how to get those pictures to you guys, beacuse well I can't from this LAN house (internet Cafe) so stay tunned pictures to come!

I hope all is well and all is staying well

HI!
So this week was really slow! Elder Fonseca was sick, and so we didn’t leave the house for 3 days, which really stinks!
But all is well now, it really stinks when your companion is sick, because after so long you run out of things to do, and it’s boring, i cleaned a lot, finished the Old Testament, and D&C.
To answer mom’s question from what i hear, here in Humaitá it never gets cold, Just not really hot, just hot, but that’s okay I’m getting used to it. I got my package as well mom Thanks!
So how was the wedding???
I really like this all of you getting married stuff! I am glad you listened to me before I left!!!!!
Well there really isn’t a whole lot of new news to talk about!
So I’m going to GO and get ready to teach today!
Love,
Elder Linford
New Area:
The first thing I’m greeted with as I get off the bus last week, and while it’s not hell it sure is extremely hot down here! Last week it was 40 in our room at 10:30. It’s Nice and hot down here, buts it’s all good.
The ward here is good and bad. This ward, for the past 12 weeks (again) hasn’t had any real missionary work done so we have some work to do, but I’m excited about the possibilities.
It’s hard to describe my area; I am about a 45 minute bus ride away from any other area. It’s weird it is like a jungle (not really jungle more like forest I guess). Then my little area with about ohh 23,000ish people has very few paved roads, then forest again. I can’t think of a good way to explain it to y’all. I’ll work on that maybe if I can remember.
The chapel is in our area, is nice, and pretty new but just one ward Dad!
There is no wind down here. After the first week here I got a lot of sun (yes I’m using sunscreen before you ask big Al)
My house is really nice. It just was really dirty. I really don’t like to clean and my level of a livable mess is pretty high, as you know, but this is freaking crazy. So I spent today cleaning, and I really don’t like cleaning I think you guys know that!
It’s all good, so now we’re teaching English here so there’s a lot of people excited about that!
Oh yeah so Matthew was lucky, I’ve had 3 Brazilian companions they all speak English, that’s breaking the odds of life! its crazy only like 30 or so Brazilians speak English, so that helps me not go freaking crazy, but it is not helping me learn Portuguese.
There is a family in our ward, and they are really funny. Their brother in law looks like me a lot! Well, actually when I was bigger, and so they keep calling me Macel. It is funny, but they are a good family and they have helped us a lot here already.
That’s all for now.
Love,
Elder Linford
