The Final Four

Really I do not want any of those teams to win but oh well. The transfer has been hard as they always are but I am adjusting a little faster this time. The area here is huge which is nice because a very small area means you are trapped inside a invisible box all day. The area where I am is very different as there are giant apartment buildings around us. It is a little cooler here than Jatoba and the roads are paved which is nice. We also have a chapel building which is nice.

The sad part of the apartment is I live alone with my companion which is always a little lonely but luckily he likes to talk and we joke around. The good part of the apartment is there are no bugs, it has lots of space and is very clean which is more than I can say for some of the other missionary apartments. Something I have learned in life here on the mission is there are always lots of pros and cons with change and you just have to hope their are more pros than cons.

 The hard thing here is they have like no one good to teach and I had lots in Jatoba so we have to do lots of finding here. The problem with finding good people here is everyone says you can talk to them but most people do not do change anything and are lazy to it is tough to know who is good and who will not progress. A problem much different than the United States. And yes I am glad I came to Brazil but there are some things that are more difficult here. Our Ward Mission Leader is a really cool guy which is nice. He is from Bolivia which as it sounds when he explains it is a poorer country than Brazil. The United States is really a very rich country. Due to the fact the Reail is so weak to the dollar everyone calls Americans rich so I am buying Pizza on Thursday for our Ward mission leader meeting. Haha

 I said I would to celebrate my 1 year and 6 months mark on Thursday. 1 pizza is about 20 reals which is expensive for people here but just 6.50$. It would have been 9$ when I got here in September but the Dollar is very strong now. Yes it is still raining but it is dying down. Here are some pictures from my going away in Jatoba and of Elder Robinson.   He is a funny kid. I think that is about it. Let me know when your Birthday letter gets there and I told you happy birthday when I was walking in the road. So Happy Birthday! Last thing we learned that an apostle is coming to visit the mission April 28th and they are going to combine both missions here in Fortaleza to listen to him speak which should be cool.

Lots of Love,

Will

the guy with Yarrington and me is the bishop, he has been my favorite bishop of my mission so far
