  I look forward to seeing this car everyday!  Olá everyone!! Week three of the MTC is now complete and things are still the same here. Me and my district have all gotten into the groove of how things work here and our schedule. Every day we have 7 hours of class in Portuguese, 3 hours of personal and companion study and language study, and then the rest of the time is filled with eating and 1 hour of exercise time. Because each day is planned out for us and basically the same each day it's easy to see how it could be hard for some people. So me and my district wanted to find a way to make each day unique and special. So we remembered Apollo Creeds famous saying from Rocky III that "there is no tomorrow!" At least I'm pretty sure it's Rocky III so forgive me dad if it's not! Many of you may already know this but my dad is the biggest Rocky fan I know so I thought of him with this quote. But anyway, this quote was kinda our districts theme this last week to hel...

  Bom dia everyone!!! I have now completed week two of the MTC! It was an awesome week  since I now know where everything is here and i'm just getting into the groove of everything here. My district is also still awesome and I'm also getting into the groove of being DL and remembering everything I'm supposed to be doing for that.  We still love to go play volleyball every morning at 6:40 and the basketball gym reopened this week so we started doing that as well. We love challenging other districts in both games and are still undefeated. All the guys in my district are like 5'10'' or taller, all except for Elder Morris who is like 5'6'' but hes one of the funniest guys. He's buff and we buzzed his head on Friday night, and he just says the most out of pocket funny things all the time! Plus, in portugeuse the r makes the h sound so we call him mo-hees. We also all got these random shirts from Elder Dawson because his dad is the principal at lone pe...

  How's it going everyone!!! This week was so fun meeting everyone in my district! From the first class we all connected immediately and get along so well. Being in a district of 16 guys who all just graduated high schools feels like I'm really just back in high school hanging out with the boys. Being here for only 5 days so far just feels like I'm st FSY making a bunch of new friends! We love learning new portugeuse slang and our favorite one right now is muito bom. It literally just translates to very good and you do this snapping thing with your hand while your saying it! I also got made district leader on Thursday which really just adds a couple meetings per week for me and I have to lead a lot of the district council meetings, but other than that it's just really fun! Another one of our favorite things is to go play sand volleyball every morning at 7 am and we love challenging other districts cuz not to brag but we always beat them!  As well as me and my district h...
