First Email from Fortaleza

I am living in a city called Siqueda, but everthing is in the borders of the city of Fortaleza. It has only sprinkled a few times. The only address we have is the mission home. It is the Siqueda Ward. It is a regular sized ward, a little smaller than most.  I sleep with a fan every night. It's not very hot at night. It is pretty hot during the day from Noon to 5 but once the sun goes down the nights are very nice. It is the same weather every day. We get fed lunch every day. It is the same meal but I like it. Rice, beans, meat, and usually guarana and some strange desert. I am reading the book of mormon. Percival is actually a Brazilian name so it is very easy for them. I like the fruit guava. Yes we walk a lot. Everything has held up great. P days are pretty lame as there is no more basketball but we can watch one disney movie. Today is Wreck it Ralph. We email at an internet cafe. It costs very little. Food here costs very little but other things like gasoline, and electronics are expensive. We will watch conference at the church but it will be in Portuguese so I will bring a nice pillow. 

I hit one year this thursday. I always imagined I would be happier on my one year mark. I miss my old mission. I wish I had stayed. I will try to keep my head up but it is hard to keep my mind busy during the day. Lots of Love.
