January 26, 2010 - Letter Home



 Calamidade! (Calamity!)

Noooooooo!

You have no idea how sad I am right now. I just lost about 2 pages of a letter for you guys. And my time is ending in this LANhouse. It’s funny how despite all the precautions you take, saving your letter, making sure your time doesn’t end, how all your work just be deleted in one second.
Well. I’m going to write a simple version of what I was going to say now.

It was sad to learn about Aunt Jan. I have many fond memories of her, but it sure helps to be out in the mission field and to have an even greater opportunity to understand the plan of salvation. She will stay in my heart.

It was also nice to get letters from the Stake Presidency, Scott Hayden, Mike and Nat, Gramma Imogene, and all the cousins! Love you guys so much you sure brightened my week here in rainy Passo Fundo!


Elder Lima

This week was the first with Elder Lima, and it sure is different than being with Elder Duarte but it’s been real good and it’s only gonna get better.


 
 
 
 

I have a bunch of photos for you guys! I hope it makes up for the short letter. There’s two here that’d make great background for all you Elder Carpenter fans ;).

I’ll catch you up more on this week in my next letter. Sorry for the inconvenience.

Mom, love you as always. Thanks for the letter!
Dad, love you so much. Good luck with work! Praying and fasting for you.
Lyns, hope all is well with school the band and all the other hundred things! You sure looked cute in the Brasil photo mom sent.
Kaitlin! I love you so much! I just want to give you a big hug right now! Did you like the Brazil night? Weird food huh but really good! I’ll make some for you when I get back, Elder Lima is a great cook and is teaching me how to make stuff.


"Cheesecake, Mom! Cheesecake!"

Brendon! Man, “Thank you turtle, you saved my life!” Hahaha! I’m so glad you remembered that. I laughed out loud at that and also your story about shaving the legs! Hah! That’s hilarious. Here’s a scripture just for you ‘kay? John 8:32. I ran across it the other day and it made me laugh. Love you buddy. Make your photos smaller so I can download them easier, okay? Work hard!

I LOVE LOVE LOVE you guys! Have a good week!
