well i will quickly tell you about my week. we didnt teach to many lessons this last week! it was a pretty long week. we saw marcos and he said that he didnt know if he wanted visits anymore but i think he will still visit church and still progress. he is just a little confused. we had a couple people lie to us haha. it was pretty crappy and i am ready to have some success haha. we are teaching an awesome family! they are really cool and said they are looking for a religion that will bloess their family haha. that is our church!!! so that was good. they said they will go to church this week but i just remembered that this week is conference right? and i dont know what time the sessions are so they might not be able to! i am really excited for conference though! so this week was transfers so i will tell you about the meeting and what happened....oh wait i cant tell you about the meeting cuz i wasnt there!!!! we missed the bus. we finally got there about 2!!! well there were other missionaries there. the new ones, chads group. my comps name is elder lima and we are in itatiba still. he has a really different accent. that might be tough. he doesnt speak any english either haha. what a blessing! haah he arrived in the ctm the day after i did. ha crazy huh?! but ya we had a bus at 4 so i just ate and sat in on the meeting for the new trainers. that was pretty good. i wasnt able to talk to chad because he was in a meeting and then when he finished president started talking. i dont know what area he is in or who his comp is because i missed the meeting. so once president finished talking i had to run for the bus. which of course we missed!! we had to wait until 615 haha. it was pretty crappy missing the bus like 4 times!! but i feel bad that i didnt talk to chad. maybe you could tell debbie to tell him i am sorry and good luck! well i dunno how much i will like this comp compared to my others. he is pretty cool i guess. i dunno if i like how he works. we havent gone out proselyting really though so i dunno really. he loves to talk tho and doesnt stop much haha. that is good becuase i will probably talk more since he is always talking to me! his main goal is like to get me qualified so thats pretty cool. you guys i am sure want a better description of him but i dont know how really haha. maybe after i know him better. i got my letters this week. there was like 7 from dad ha. i didnt know about the mail strike until you guys told me. i wonder if kate and my friends have gotten my letters ha. i guess i will have time to write some of my friends this week. thanks for all the addresses and letters. i didnt get my package becuase for some reason the zone leaders have them. so i will get it next tuesday or at conference. oh so as i was walking here there was a flash flood. it was not raining and then all the sudden it was pouring!!! the wind was blowing really hard and the rain was movin more sideways than downwards. my umbrella broke and i had to run here. ha i am pretty cold now ha. well let me know about your week. thats is terrible that byu lost and that hillcrest is good again... pretty dissapointing! is byu ranked still? well let me know about everything! love you!
Love,
Elder Long
