He said he was being Joseph Smith (sorry, too lazy to rotate the pic--I'll try to change it later).
Love this dorky pic of Tom. I think it's the "I just crapped my pants" face. You can sure tell he's super sad that he doesn't have to wear his hair in a part anymore.

Hey how is everyone doing this week? hopefully well! so this week was more successful! we taught a lot more lessons this week and found a lot more people to teach. i will tell you about the people we are teaching right now. first of all there is Nilton, aline, and cristine. it is always hard to teach them because nilton is drunk 24/7. he is the uncle of the other two. he never makes sense when he is talking haha. the two girls are really good though. they need to go to church though. we taught a guy named zepadrosa this week too. he talked for about 40 minutes by himself! and then we left a message in about 10. it was pretty long! he was just rambling on. we taught this other guy and his wife. he is the son of a pastor and is helping to orgnize a church here haha. we invited him to pray but he decided that it is better to find answers from the scriptures so he went to the bible. his bible is made for bible bashin with mormons haha. it has footnotes for references in the BOM that dont agree with the bible. except everything he said was wrong or had a reason that makes perfect sense. the church doesnt even have a bible with footnotes in portuguese yet. ha he also asked us to read scriptures in the doctrine and covenants that his bible said were wrong. we didnt argue or anything and just let him talk. we are going to go back there sometime and answer all the questions haha. we also taught a guy named marcos. it is so hard to teach him. we will say one sentence and he will go off for two minutes. then we will say one sentence and he will go again. it is frustrating! i dont have patience for that haha. so we are teaching except the people we are teaching dont make it easy haha. well that was my week ha.
well thats all i got this week so i guess i will talk to you all later. i havent got my package yet. i will either get it this week at transfers or our next meeting with the president. oh this week is transfers so next week i will let you know if i moved. we have transfers every 6 weeks. and that just reminded me of the questions that mom asked in her email.
that food was pastels not pizza ha. and i made them haha. i rock! maybe i will just buy a basketball. probably not today cuz maybe i will be moving anyways.
and as for treats...i like fastbreaks and mini reeses and snickers. and huckleberry cordials and lots of other stuff haha. well love you all. have a good week!
Love,
Elder Long
