January 19

Hi Mom,I will think about that idea as well. Thank you for the idea. I will give you my response for school next week. But I do like that idea. Yeah I really hope my next companion is Brazilian. There are lots of benefits. Carnival is coming up but it really it not that big in Fortaleza. Especilly in our neighborhood. Everyone says that the whole neighborhood leaves for other places. Carnival starts Feb. 14th. I have not gotten a card yet. Oliver is going to the U of Utah. I sent Dad lots of information about the week and what is going on. Thank you for all the pictures on dropbox. It was fun to look at them today. What is your calling in the church? Brazil does not have as cool holidays as the United States. Either way I am out of time. Hope things turn out with the Job for Dad.

Hi Dad,To: mtpercival3@msn.comIt will be hard to decide about the phones. I definitely will not get an Apple because they are too boring for me. Either way I do not have to worry about it now. That is hilarious that Seattle won. We went to a birthday party of one of our investigators yesterday to show that we are normal people and not just missionary robots. And on the television was the Green Bay Seattle game. I could not believe it because not many people here like football. But the score was Green Bay 16 Seattle 0 so I was sure Seattle was toast. Go New England. That is interesting Cleveland is not doing very well. 
I am glad your back is doing better. Transfers are not until Feb. 9th so nothing will change until then. This week was kind of rough for missionary work as we did not really find anyone new that is good. We will baptize Andre this Saturday though which will be cool. Also today we took the papers to the place you marry people for one of the couple we are teaching. Because you have to be married if you are living with someone before you get baptized. So they will get baptized as well and they are really awesome. They are both in their late 20s and have two girls. The only sad part is the marriage takes 30 days so they will not get baptized until the 20th of February and I am pretty sure I will leave the 9th which is a bummer. If i am close I will see if I can go back for the baptism. The cool thing about this city is you can go anywhere in the city by bus for 1 dollar. 
I do not know what else to report. I put some more photos on Dropbox of the area. I am trying to be better about photos. I took some photos of the church building that we attend. The church has already bought the land to build a chapel but they are waiting for the attendance of the ward to grow. We also met with our WML this week and he was very cool which I am glad to report. He was the old first counselor in the bishopric before everything changed  in the ward two weeks ago. 
Lots of love, hope you enjoy the pictures.
