opa! hey everyone how is it going? things are going good here! this morning i woke up fluent. i can say everything i want and i thik in portuguese now. it is quite awesome! i thought it would be like 5 more months at least!!! ok i lied i still dont know what is going on. i still understand during the lesson but not anything besides that. my comp has actually let me studied the language a couple days this week. it is pretty annoying cuz lately he is like getting mad at me for not being ready on time when he gets out of the shower at about 7:45. there isnt anything else to do before he gets out. i shave, make food, iron, study before he is done. then i am ready about 8:05. he doesnt let me study the language at ten like i am supposed to. we just practice the lessons occassionaly but usually we leave at about 10. i am supposed to study for another hour. it is kind of frustrating.
haha ya i wish i woke up fluent. like that would happen already. i had two experiences this week of people laughing at me while i was teaching. i started talking and this girl abut 15 years old busted up. she was laughing so hard. and then yesterday the member that was with us teaching started laughing at me too. i felt awesome! ha but nope i havent got it yet obviously. this one lady started yelling at me this week too. it was funny cuz i didnt know what she was saying. but i guess she was on a bus that i talked on. i stood up and invited everyone to church. she lives by pedro and iresema. she started yelling at me and telling me to not come to her house. i didnt even say anything haha.
thanks everyone for the package! i like it a lot. i am trying to not eat all the candy fast and spread it out a little bit. i dunno why but at home i always saved my candy forever and ended úp throwing it away. here i eat it so fast. i have already eaten all my fast breaks, gummy bears, and half my nuggets! fast breaks are so underrated! they rock! but thanks for the pictures and letters too!
so i guess i will hurry and write about the investigators cuz it seems like thats what you guys wanna know about. ok well are main investigators right now are pedro and iresema. they are the parents of leandro. they both committed to be baptized this sunday. iresema is really excited about it. pedro decided on sunday that he wont be baptized now. he went to church on sunday and didnt like it one bit. he got there at like 745 cuz he thought it was at 8 (i dunno why, we told him it was at 9 at least 20 times) and then he didnt really like it there. he thought the hymn in sacrament sounded satanic haha. it probably did. they didnt have a piano player and they didnt tell us which verses. we did like first third fourth and seventh so everyone was singing different and offtune too with no piano haha. then after that we went to present him to the bishop and the bishop said it would be 5 minutes. we went to our meeting with the ward missionaries and turns out pedro was waiting for like an hour. so he was at church from 7:45 to about 1 and didnt have a good experience. so we need a miracle for him to be baptized this sunday. also we started teaching a few other people that are looking promising. one guy started crying durning his prayer. it was cool that he felt the spirit like that. but he is really active in his church so i dunno.
speaking of music...steph was asking me if i enjoyed my music. and yes i do. it is really good. unfortunately i cant listen to it all now. i can only listen to like classical music and mo tab. so not like the efy stuff. and i only have like maybe 20 mo tab songs. i wish i could listen to it more.
but ya i guess i better get going. love you all!
Love,
Elder Long
