Oiy!

oiy familia! I just got to talk to some of youon sunday, but ill send an update for everyone else. Well, im still in brazil. Haha! No, I really love it here. All the hard things I didnt want to face arent as bad doing them as they are thinking about doing them. for example, i think ive finally learned how to breathe in the cold shower. also, ive got a system down of putting on sun screen, then bugspray, then baby powder, and we are ready to leave the apartment. I dont have elephant legs anymore, but i think blisters may be starting to form. thats okay though, we take problems one step at a time :) my stomach adjusts a little better everday to the food, although its still a little queasy from time to time, ive figured out how to manage. and the language, which is the hardest part, is coming along. i understand what is going on most of the time, its really hard when people look and me to talk, because i cant speak back very well yet, but im getting there. the hardest part for me is i want to be able to teach and talk and get to know people, but the language barrier is a huge proeblem. especially since Bahians LOVE to talk. and talk. and talk. Maybe its a brazilian thing, im not sure, but in any case they talk a lot. Also, I wrote a bunch of letters last week, but i didnt get to send them out, but they are on their way. Heres a little shout out to Cailey Loren Marcom Morgan who I havent heard from in a while. Please, just like a quick email telling me everything is going good. E-mail really is the best way, because i don~t know when i recieve letters, so email me, and ill try to write you back, via snail mail.
sorry this is really short, but this computer is slow, and i~m running out time. I love you all lots! Brazil is really sweet! We~ve got some amazing familias we are teaching and we have a baptism this saturday, which will be super awesome. Love you lots!
