Week 7 - Next week: Going to Rio de Janeiro!!!!!

Hey mom, that second package sounds amazing. I can´t wait to get it. I still havent gotten it yet but there was a holiday here on thursday and apparently they took friday off too and the mail doesn´t come on saturdays. So yeah and I didn´t get anything yesterday. Which was a major bummer because I was expecting to get at least something but nada. Anyways I leave for Rio on the 12th will be there on the same day. Not sure if I´ll get to email that day or not but as soon as I am able to I will. Don´t worry. Um portuguese is getting better slowly. I guess. It will definitely get better in the field. It just takes time. So, I´m not too worried about it just going to keep working on it. Weather here has been pretty normal I guess. Rained yesterday and the day before but today it´s clear skies and I think it´s like 70 outside. At least. Should be a good P-day. But, I hope Grandma is doing alright. Tell her I love her. Grandpa too. Glad you all got home from Cali safely. 18 hours? crazy. Did Maddy get her License? Thats cool if she finally did. Good for her. That woud be crazy if Carrie was the first to have twins in the Family. Would be Funny too. Anyways, Things are going good. Had some trouble within the district this last week but we´ve got it all ironed out and movin right along. These next two weeks will be interesting. But hopefully I can learn alot more in that short amount of time. Well I love you all, I miss ya too. Tell everyone I love em and wish I could give them all hugs. Love Elder Bender




Fun Fact: When explorers arrived in Guanabara Bay on New Year's Day 1502, they mistook the bay for the mouth of a mighty river. Hence they called the place Rio de Janeiro - literally, 'River of January'.
