A Breath of Fresh Air.......Transfers!

Yes you do, apparently if you don't send it now I'll get it in March. Every Elder is having their packages sent now. So that was a good call. Also I forgot to ask for two things if they fit with everything. I would love HONEY! in one of those little squeeze bears or three or four of em lol. If you can send it honey comb would be ammazxzing and roasted almonds. =) Once again though I don't expect everything just more ideas =)

 

Well this week was the longest week ever! I did talk to President about everything in interviews and afterward he burned the crap out of my companion and after that my companion didn't talk to me for the rest of the week. He then proceeded to try and make as many last minuet changes as possible and exclude me whenever we had members around, and especially when we had investigators. He also sent me on divisions which he got to last more than the expected time so I wound up in Mirassole for three days with one shirt one pair of pants and two garments until I could get back to my area. I also didn't get to say goodbye to anyone personally because he was angry and didn't want to do anything I wanted to do. So to say the least when I heard that I was being transferred, and it was official, I raised my arms and yelled, "WWWHHOOOOOOOOOOOO YEAH!"

 

It did make me sad to go though because I Love Anchieta but there is no way |I could do another 6 weeks with him! I did get up in testimony meeting and tell everyone how glad I was to be there and how much I love them all, but there were people that were really special that weren't at church and I didn't get to say anything to them before I left....I spent Saturday night singing the song from Winnie the Pooh's Grand Adventure when he misses Christopher Robin and is singing to the stars in the tree cause that's pretty much how I felt for most of the week.

 

BUT Elder B Anderson received in his package a bottle of honey in a bear and we were together in Mirassole, and I thought to myself, "Kyle when was the last time you had a honey sandwich? idk. goll, I was probably 10....Kyle You need a honey sandwich again! Okay!" I I went and got some Bread and stuff and Elder B Anderson and I made home made rootbeer floats and honey sandwiches and laughed the night away! =) I pretty much ate the entire bottle of honey in one night! fortunetly for me he was okay with that. =)

 

AND On my way to my new area I got to see Elders Larett and Lau, who are some of my favorite people in the whole world!! They're the elders I was in the CTM with and It was so good to see them! =) Elder Lau has been called as the new financial secretary and Elder Larett in in Ribierão Preto. it was really great to see them again! =) And Now I'm in a new house that's bigger, with a new companion who everyone has said works hard and obeys the rules and our house is CLEAN!!!!!! I'm in Franca now! Aeroporto 2, is the name of our branch and everyone who I trust has told me it's one of the best places in the Mission! =) So I'm very excited to be here glad to be away from my old companion and ready to get back to work since we didn't work at all last week. But we did have the Baptisms Marcela and her two sons were the last baptisms I had in Anchieta. I taught them for two months with 5 other Elders and I was so happy when they got baptized! they were really great! =) well that's pretty much been my life. Summary of Anchieta, In one of the strongest wards I have ever seen with some of the best people I have ever meet we had 8 baptisms with 1 family, 4 of whom can or already have received the priesthood, and more stories than I have time to write. All thanks to the blessings of the Lord.

 

Hey, I know someone else who didn't like reading when he started...lol I love you Jojo!

Yupe, that's Spencer, I also know someone else who's explosive, he's My little brother, we're two of a kind! =) Love ya shorty!

Cause AR's ligit 2 ligit to quit! love ya Jacob and ...yeah....|I don't believe that last part...=P Love ya D Tell Dr. Cody I said HI Back and I said Hi to everyone else too! =) I'm going to send you a picture and some words later if it's okay so you can make me Christmas cards and send them to ppl cause I really don't have the time to do that....and would you mind checking on my bank account for me I've had to use my card when our mission had problems getting missionary's the monthly money and for my medicine as well....I have received reimbursements from the mission for the medicine, but that all goes to the mission account so I'd like to know how much I still have on the card. and I have no idea where I left my tie, I thought it was in the trunk of Dad's car...anyways I've got to go now talk to you all late, take it easy and remember to laugh cause if your not laughing your not living!

Transfers coming up...

Okay, so My favorite talk was hands down Elder Uchtdorf's. Why because my companion is lucky to be alive right now with how frustrated he's made me over the last 5 weeks and he has no idea how close to dieing he has really come. President Uchtodorf's talk reminded me that I'm not going to be perfect in following any of the rules ever, perfection is the goal, but I cant let my frustration stop me from having a good time and having the spirit with me. The only thing I can do is play the hand I've been dealt the best I can and then pray the lord forgives my short comings and makes up the rest. However transfers end this week, and hopefully things will improve. Whether that means change or not, I don't know. But we have interviews with our President on Wednesday and there are some things that I will be talking to the President about. So This week we had two more baptisms, Vinicius and Gilereamy, 10 and 9 years old. They are the two sons of Marcella who will be baptized as well this Wednesday! I'm so Excited for her and her family! I've been working with them for two months with three different companions, teaching and bring to activities, and spending time with their family. And they're finally ready! =) I'm so excited! her husband will need some more time, but I think in a few years he will come around as well. =) She has stopped smoking and is making her way through the BoM from start to finish and has been attending church for about a month and an half and now she has friends in the church as well, and I just can't even begin to say how happy I am for her and her two sons! =)
Summary of this week was Conference, Baptism and ASTHMA! =P three days this week I was completely out of everything because of my Asthma, I cleaned the house and Have been struggling with breathing ever since. two days I couldn't even walk to the door or do dishes without being out of breath. The Doctor in São Paulo has me on Medication and an inhaler, but it's different than an American inhaler, and I would really like an American albuterol inhaler that is very strong! If you could some how have Jeff prescribe one for me and send it down here I would Love IT! If you do send it down here, do NOT mark it on the Box when you send it. They may confiscate it or make me pay a few hundred R$ to get it and the inhalers down here are very expensive and harder to use.
I do have my Christmas list if you would like it, Side note if when you send a box the contents add up to more than 50 dollars I will have to pay ridiculous taxes for the box and it would have been a waste. For Christmas I would like Barley! they don't have it down here and I would love some barley. If you send 50 dollars worth of Barley I would Love you! however then nothing else would fit in the box. The other things I can't gt down here are deodorant, and shaving cream. If you send deodorant I would like either Nike degree or right guard stick, my Old Spice stains my garments blue...=P I also REALLYYY want three other things Cosmo, Fudge and toffee! Would be AMAZING! =) as would socks garments and ties, especially my purple tie you got me for Christmas last year, but I left it in Dad's car after our trip to Oregon and didn't bring it to Brazil with me...=P Razor blades would also be nice. Now I don't want you to send all of these things, these are just some Ideas that I would really like and enjoy. There is one request though that I really really really want, but I want it for my Birthday and I will Probably end up buying it here in Brazil. I want the Lion King on DVD with English and Portuguese languages. There is a bookstore here in town where some of the members think I can go and get it and then have it sent to my house until I come home. and I know it's in Disney's vault but I really want it to be waiting for me when I get home and next year I want the second Lion King. So I'm going to go and see if I can find those today for my Birthday and then have them sent to the house to wait for me! =)
Anyways that's enough about what I want to indulge myself with. Please Send the Barley and inhaler! And thank you for the Pictures! =) This week has been really frustrating because of my Asthma and then while I'm studying my companion watches movies and listens to hard music and it's been really frustrating, but it's all good. But we do only have one more week until the transfer is over and I've been hanging out with Elder Campbell a lot, neither of our comps wanted to go to Conference Saturday so I went with Elder Campbell and  we've been together for most of the week end....I was going to say something else too, but I can't remember...It'll probably come back to me as soon as I get off. Oh well, hope everything is going well for every one Love you all, take it easy and have a good one and no I still haven't received your letters lol
