Things in Brazil are going great! I think time couldn’t have gone any faster these past couple or weeks. I’m at one end hoping that my whole mission goes this fast but then at the same time I know I should enjoy this experience because I will never have this chance again. I still get a little home sick here and there and I sure miss my Sunday cookies, there is a cookie store across the street from the MTC called Mr. Chenney’s cookies, they sort of compare to what I miss.
So on Wednesday we traded our gym time..not by choice.. and we had to fold sheets for the new missionaries. I’m glad I’m not considered new; those first couple of days were absolutely rough, hahaha. Just because there is no phone and you have to go to classes all day haha. My buddies in here are great and I think that I will be best friends for a long long time with them. Oh so letters are literally like golden in this place and mean a lot to us missionaries. I never have appreciated them as much as I do now. The Brazil mail strike is over so it should only take 1 week to send and receive, so don’t be afraid to make my day!!!
So we missed TRC today, where we teach and get recorded so that we can have feed back to see how we are teaching. I feel so much better about the language. Week 2 didn’t seem like we learned that much but all the older guys said after this the language goes faster and all the teacher’s speak pretty fluent English the first two weeks but from now on they are only going to speak in Portuguese so I’m in trouble! We do a ton of studying in the morning, about 3 hours and then about 6 or 7 hours of class every single day. By the end of the day I am so exhausted I am actually pumped for bed at 10:30. Food here on the outside is so cheap. We can get similar things to Oreos for like .25 cents a box, but clothes and toys here are like 3 times as much as in the U.S., it’s ridiculous. I hope that all is going well and I can’t wait to here from you guys!
Con Amor! Elder Norton
Oh read D&C 88, it's a great scripture.
I hope you got my pictures I sent you through Mission Ties. Oh mom I got your letter you sent in the mail Thursday so don't be afraid to send more because the letters are amazing. I almost prefer letters over email cuz I have so little time to read emails.
In the picture the one with me and my comp elder garrison are in the suits. Picture of the tie is for matt and thats a double windsor knot so dope and then the 3 people are of elder Petersen in orange and Adamson in gray. I got to go now.
I can't remember anything else cool that happened other than i was able to give my buddy elder Petersen a blessing for the first time and that was a neat experience. I have a poem coming tomorrow that I'll have my buddy email through mission ties. I have a lot of free time to think about everything here. Oh I'm made u made cinnamon rolls and i cant have any and I'm so happy for Sarah. I wrote her a letter and sent it to gmas house. keep me update on the outside stuff and the election. Idk if you knew but my mail box is number 4. Idk if there is anything else to mention. Im glad everyone is doing well and the spirit is strong at home. Keep sending letters and ill write back because i have such little time on email.
Love you guys so much cant wait for next Tuesday!
