Haha liked the creative title! (Our last email said we were Home from Roma) Thanks for the email and the pictures! Looks like you guys had an awesome time. Family time is the best thing in the world! Be it in dusty Oklahoma or Elegant Rome ahah. The email was super good for some reason. Not exactly sure why, maybe because it was full of information and lots of good news.

Here in Brasil for easter they give these big chocolate eggs. Irmã Sandra gave us these eggs. Super tasty!
Well things are still going good here! I love Elder Boren and everyday is an adventure with him. We are working hard and always striving to help the zone.
Luiz is doing good and should be baptized this Saturday. Daniel didnt go to church and unfortunately isnt doing what he needs to to prepare for baptism. We found lots of new people to teach this last week and hope to have lots of baptisms in May. Presidente Prieto is asking the mission to focus a lot on less-actives. He was here in São Carlos this last Saturday and we talked with him a little bit. He told Elder Boren and I that we will stay one more transfer together. So if that actually goes down, I will finish here in São Carlos with the best kid ever, Elder Boren!
This last week was good. I had a hard time focusing at times. Haha it seems like everytime I write home saying that I am focused, it ends up being a hard week to focus ahah. I guess that I need to be more humble haha.
Not sure what else to say. Any ideas on what else to talk about in emails?
Call everyone and get me a list of anything anybody would want here from Brasil so I can start looking.
I love you all very much. I am so greatful for the gospel in our lives and the blessings it has brought to our family. I know that the gospel is true. The scriptures bring the spirit as we study them. I know we have a living prophet and apostles today. I love to listen to their words on the mini speaker each morning. Things have a way of working themselves out when we press forward in righteousness. Its going to be a great week

PS Tell Pehrson to start exercising because we have a pull up bar and hes going down in arm wrestling here in 2 months haha
