First Field Assignment---Anchieta

Momma? I have never said momma...when did u start talking like a hick? I thought you had a college degree? (nothing against anyone who says momma incase you decide to post this online) but what the crackerjacks is up with that? Anyways Para freckin Bens to Jojo! way to Read! Tell Shorty I still havent recieved his letter, or anyone elses for that matter (plus all mail is to go to the Mission Home not to our addresses so I will only be recieving mail every 6 weeks aproximately) You should have Rhys and Isa Shoot me an E-mail to let me know what their address is so I can write them, I would appreciate that. Hope everyone is doing well, I do have a new companion, his name is Elder Bernards he goes home at the end of this transfer. We are both new to this area, we replaced two Sisters. We are in Anchieta (area) it is the North East part of the City São José Rio Preto...I dont think were in the state of São Paulo anymore.Our Appartment is small, but clean which is good. We dont have a lto of room so were living out of our suitcases and hanging clothes outside to dry and then leaving them there till we need them. We have breakfast every Morning and then aftermemers provide lunches for us...(Everyone Drinks Soda, its pretty much unavoidable which is afful, but this soda doesnt have highfrutoscornsyrup and i think my body is used to it again =P )  I had my First Brazilina BBQ on Sunday, we were at a members house who was very well off and it being a birthday there was more food than a tulmaou BBQ it was really good! =) Im getting better at Português, my comp says ive improved a lot in just my first week. We had to bear our testimonies em reuião do sacramento, and I was pretty much scared out of my pants, but everyone said I did well. We work hard and reached the mission goal of making 160 contacts even though we were short of days because of my coming from the CTM.  Rio Preto is a Mais Quente que São Paulo então im not used to it yet =P but it is good my favorite part of the day is after 430 when the sun begins to set and leave us alone, but the whole day is good. Weve had some really frustrating days, especially me, but each day is new and all you can do is get back to work until you get it right. Still dont quite have a schedule down yet, for sundays or p-day so ill have to work on those, but its been good my body has needed the rest today. We area also allowed to play Soccer out here, which is pretty much the coolest thing EVER!! and I LOVE IT!!! it is a completely different kind of game, but its good. We have to go now. Hope everything is going well for everyone, and wish everyone good luck with school in a month! Elder Lund
