May 11, 2011 - pday

Hey family,

Well it was definitely great to talk to you guys too. Especially on the skype. It was the best to have the whole family together and to be able to see everyone´s faces. There is a really good chance that i will still be here in the office in December and so we can do it again!

I think my letter will be pretty short too today, not too much to say.

Oh, I got my package!!! Thanks for everything! It was the best package ever. We had a "Conselho dos LZs" yesterday (Zone Leader Counsel) and Elder Ramos and I gave a short training. We talked about baptismal forms and filling them out correctly. We also talked a little bit about the Mission Tour that is coming up. I dont remember if i told you, but Elder Godoy, of the seventy, is coming to the mission in the beginning of june. That will be great! The training went well.

I guess the area seventy of Brasil decided that missionaries cant play soccer anymore, and that applies to all of Brasil! It really stinks. I had only played 2 times on the mission! But getting the package was great timing. We can play frisbee now!!

Things here in the office are good. It is really stressful! It seems like we are always behind. We are trying to find a way to get super organized so that we can leave the office everyday at 5 (which isnt easy) and go to our area. It has been hard to forget the things that need to be done in the office and focus on the investigators. I just want to have the stuff in the office done haha. I am learning a ton about the importance of planning. As we plan, we are more effective and it helps with the stress. If i write it down and its planned out, i can relax a little bit more. Definitely lessons that i will be able to apply for the rest of my life.

I love you all! Have a great week!
