Sorry about the leak in the house; that stinks. That stinks about Dad's back as well. Tell Jane I said hi as well. Anne showed me a picture of the cabin and it looked awesome. We will have to do that next year. We passed the new year's eve in the house but we ordered some pizza and hung out so we had a nice time. I went to bed a 10:30 as usual this year because I was really tired and was awoken at midnight due to our neighbors lighting fireworks directly outside our window. I have never been so confused than when I woke up to what sounded like bombs going off in my room. But things calmed down after that. Either way we had the day off on the 31st and watched Ephraim's Rescue which is a church movie but it is really good. I watched it once earlier on my mission.
This week we had 5 people at church which was cool. One guy named Andre who we will baptize this weekend if everything works out and also that family with three girls. The family wants to get baptized which is cool but we have to marry them which takes 30 days to process which is a bummer. But it was a good week. Also it rained a bit this week and I used my umbrella which is a very good umbrella. The weather was a little cooler this week which was nice.
Lots of love, I am glad you had a good time in the Cabin. Max told me the rule that we can not swim was the best rule ever because he is tired of swimming, haha.

I am sorry to hear about your back. It is great to hear that FSU lost and so did Alabama. I think I will root for Ohio State since they are big ten. That is amazing they won with that quaterback. I think I like when Alabama loses more than the Yankees. Anne sent me a picture of the Cabin and it looked very nice. I was jealous of the couches and the nice big tv. The couches in Brazil are really hard. It is strange. Either way the weather has cooled off a bit and it rained for a couple days which was different. I talked to one of our mission secretaries this week who are just regular missionaries who are called to work in the office. Usually this is a job for older couples in the US but here we only have one set of senior missionaries so regular missionaries have to do office work. But one is a really cool kid from Salt Lake who attended Harvard for a year studying chemistry and will go back this fall. The mission secretaries are good to talk to because they always know what is going on. He told me some interesting facts about the mission and about the future. He told me he thinks the two missions in Fortaleza will combine eventually again due to the fact that our mission will lose many missionareis this year and is not gaining many. Right now every transfer we usually gain between 8-10 missionares and we lose 15-20. And my group has 25 and the group after me has 42 so he thinks the missions will combine again. Right now the world has a bubble of missionaries that will collapse this year due to the amount of missionaries that left when I did. And the bubble will collapse this year when they all go home so we will see if some missions will close. I do not think the missions here will combine but we will see. Either way it does not affect me just interesting to think about. We should have a baptism this week which should be cool so I will take some pictures. Lors of love and I hope your back feels better. I eat lots of fruit do not worry. There are lots of cool fruits here. I ate a Caja the other day.
