April 6 2015

I wondered why President Monson did not give more of a talk and maybe that would explain it. So we ended up watching on a member's laptop at the church in a different room in English which was great. I watched with three other American missionaries, two of who waited the same amount of time in the States for their visas as I did. I only watched the priesthood session in Portuguese so this general conference was much better than the last. I am glad Kate is liking the temple. It feels like a long time since I was there in the Sao Paulo Temple. Those are some very strange but cool places for new temples. Sorry to hear about Peter. I cannot remember ever meeting him but I am sure I saw him once.

I did a division with my zone leader who told me he attended a going away party for a sister missionary here in Fortaleza and saw her come back when he was still on his mission here and he said the same thing about the length of sister missionary missions. I completed my sister missionary mission on April 2nd as that was my 1 year and 6 months mark. I bet my birthday envelope will be there in the mission office tomorrow when we go and get materials for the week. Sorry that Romeo and Juliet are breaking up but Kate should marry a member of the church and not him so all is well though that is a lot of money he will get.

So last thing while on that division with my zone leader I talked a lot about BYU as he attended there. Turns out it is not that hard to get a scholarship so you should look that up for when I officially attend there in the winter if you can apply for one. I also found out if you get like a 3.8 or higher your first year you can automatically get a full scholarship for the next year and attend school for free.... which is pretty cool. Also make sure you set all this up that I will attend in Winter of 2016 and not Fall. Can I still use the campus stuff as a online student like the basketball courts and school events? I really do not know much about college but I have talked to lots of people on the mission who have gone to byu so I know a little. Last question did you ever get those credits from Dmacc worked out?
