The Light House‏

Hey Family,

My last email just got deleted so this is take two.

Thanks for all the pictures and emails though i could have done without the picture of the cutlass...(sigh). You can tell Mikey that i´m going to start praying for height instead of the gift of tongues so i can kick his but when i get home!

This week was really good. At Zone Conference President Torgan was intense as always but his trainings were really good. The other leaders trainings were good too but i really liked Torgan´s because he talked about the Prophecies about Portugal. Elder Theodore Tuttle gave a talk about the three light houses of the world. Each light house represents a country that will be an example(light house) for all other countries in progress and growth in the church. The three light houses are Chilie, Brazil, and Portugal. Braziland Chilie have pretty much lived up to the reputation but we are still lagging behind. But now with President Torgan, we are baptizing more than any other mission according to the number of missionaries. We´ve come along way but President Torgan still isn´t satisfied and neither are we.

This week no one was baptized but we had a great meeting yerterday with the leaders of our branch about our invetigators and the goals of baptism we set for February and March. We got a lot of support and a lot of really good ideas from our members and now it feels like everyone´s goal and not just ours.

According to Valentine´s day, Yes, they celebrate it here and i wish they didn´t. All the skimpy underwear stores have huge sells which means...more ads all over town. That spells a whole lot of fun for us.

I did think of some things you guys could put in the box. If it were in anyway possible could you guys send more socks and maybe som new ties that go with a brown or green suit. Everything here is so expensive.

By the way, where is Ethan going on his mission?

Well, i think thats it as far as news goes. Sorry, my last email was bigger but i dont have much time left to rewrite everything. Obrigado por tudo! I love you guys!
