well i wanna write this letter really quick today so i will try to tell you all the important stuff this week ha. there isnt that much ha. this week went by really fast i cant believe it is already quarta(wed)! i dont even know why time went by so fast this week because it was a pretty crappy week haha. ok so i had the least amount of lessons taught in one week this last week. it was terrible. all we did was walk around all day and nobody was even home!! i was about to go crazy! and not to mention that it was raining the whole time. ha that didnt really bother me. except that i didnt want my ties getting ruined. the silk ones get all messed up in the rain. so that was unfortunate. anyways if you could maybe for christmas or something you could send some polyester ties because it rains alot during the summer here. at church this last sunday we had a lesson on home teaching and so i was just wondering how home teaching is coming dad? are you able to find things to talk about without me there? probably not. oh and who plans the lessons now? haha but how is that going? do you have a new companion? i went on another division on monday. the thing is though i got to vinhedo and elder castleton left me. he didnt tell me anything except that there was kid from the ward that i was going with. so i was pretty much alone. it was pretty hard teaching haha. i taught the ten commandments and probably didnt explain it very well. then she asked about baptisms for the dead and i had to try and explain that too haha. it was pretty difficult. i think she understood though haha. but that was pretty much my week this week.

but i got some big news haha. so i weighed myself about 6 weeks ago and then i weighed myself this last week....I HAVE GAINED 30 POUNDS IN THE MISSION!! haha and i am still really skinny. my goal is another 30 or so haah. isnt that awesome!? mom you will have to send this letter to my friends like jay dee and jon. i know they wont believe it haha. but that was pretty much my week haha. not very exciting.

love you guys. the church is true! but it is a lie that olivia did that good on her driving test! and BYU is #9
Love,
Elder Long
