( Sandra translate for me Brendin’s Portuguese into English all the yellow words are the translation of his letter.)
Yea after a good wrestle with the mission office we managed to get our bills paid! And I found my credit card! Besides that the usual stuff down here. I hope I never have to knock on another door, haha its just kind of ridiculous how ineffective it is haha. You meet so many different kinds of people here, you have the people who are accepting, people who don't believe in anything, then you have the people who are super stiff necked. I have never ran into so many Testimony de Jeova in my life haha. (OF JEHOVAH) - IT'S A CHURCH IN BRAZIL WHERE THE MEMBERS KNOCK ON EVERYBODY'S DOOR ALL THE TIME! I just have to follow the example of Jeffery R Holland and be really clear and direct with them (sometimes they catch on fire). I try my best not to destroy the faith people already have and cherish, so I teach and then invite. So with JW I teach about authority of God and ask them to pray to know what we have said is true.
Yea I don't want to say too much more about my area, but that the new chapel is looking pretty good and I can't wait to use it to find new people haha.
Yea thanksgiving down here wasn't like the states, luckily it was Inez's birthday so we ate some cake and salgados (KIND OF SALTY PASTRIES, USUALLY DEEP FRIED DOUGH WITH SOME KIND OF SAVORY FILLING) which are so good. We didn't play any football or nothing, but that's all right I did do a lot of walking that day so I got my exercise in. Sorry this computer is pretty lame and I can't send any picture today, but you can cherish the ones that I have already sent haha. That's awesome that E-dog came back, how is he ? I miss him a lot he is always a happy camper and always tries to do the right thing. I am very grateful for the friends that I have and had a chance to learn and grow together. Its going to be pretty crazy when we all get back together and trade stories from the mission.
I am super excited to talk to you guys in three weeks let me know when would be a good time for you to Skype so I can already plan ahead here.
Muitíssimo obrigado por os fotos e cartas (THANK YOU VERY MUCH FOR THE PICTURES AND LETTERS), eu sou muito grato que nosso Pai Celstial me deu uma família amoroso e engaraçado (I'M VERY GRATEFUL FOR HEAVENLY FATHER GAVE ME A LOVING AND FUNNY FAMILY). Te Amo e falarei mais proximo semmana! (I LOVE YOU AND I'LL TALK MORE NEXT WEEK) Sandra pode traduzir porque ela precissa practicar mais portuguese para que ela possa tranduzir por min srsr. Até Mais!!!
(AHAHAH, that's me! SANDRA YOU CAN TRANSLATE BECAUSE SHE NEEDS TO PRACTICE MORE PORTUGUESE SO SHE CAN TRANSLATE FOR MIM. LOL)
