Good to know you got the pictures okay! I love my mission president! He is way awesome - he also has a really interesting perspective. He always refers to me as the oldest of 5 kids... I never really thought about it that way, you know?
Good to hear about Brian Jensen! I'm sure he'll love Brazil! I heard Melo - a zone in my mish that borders Brazil - is wonderful, even if the Spanish is a little polluted. :-P
HI MICAELA!
Tell Matt that I'm sending a letter to Luke that he'll be interested in reading, so have Luke pass it on.
(Mom note: I am getting a new laptop for my work on the school board. I had as choices the Mac Air and Dell Latitude E6500. I chose the Dell.) The Mac Air would have been sweet - I was just talking about it today to one of my house companions who has missed the last year and a half of technology. But the E6500 is a screamer of a machine, I'll be happy to inherit that puppy! That's the series I had to get re-trained for at Dell before my Canada crosstraining. How is my Dell doing? Still hanging in there, or have you killed it? (Steven gave me his "old" Dell (only a few months old. I dropped it already and cracked the casing to the battery. Don't tell Steven!)
Sounds like Corry's birthday went well... you know I love that roast! Happy birthday, Corry! I thought I mentioned it in my last email... sorry dude! And Hi Tina! Don't kiss any boys!
Package - SEND SWEDISH FISH! It's payment to one of the sisters in the ward who does our laundry. Her name is Patricia, but somehow in my broken spanish I was able to decipher Swedish Fish... :D
Good to hear dad and Krae still have their jobs... is the market still headed downhill? I guess we just have to wait for Obama to take office for the market to come back up, right? ;-P Haha what about other news? What's the deal with India and Pakistan?
Dad - here, everyone has fences outside, but no doorbells. So the usual way to knock on the door is to clap a few times. Same in Argentina - I'm sure Aunt Rebecca had to do that too. The members are great, even though they are few and far between. We have a lot of less active members that we are working on... but the members are awesome! We usually have a lunch (we never eat dinner, btw) and it is always great! That reminds me - feed the missionaries! I'm not sure about the missionaries in our ward, but here, if we don't get food from a member family, we starve! So feed the missionaries!
Anyways... the food is good. I haven't had too much... empeñadas only once in the CCM... but I had milanesa today, which is like chicken fried steak with a piece of ham and cheese melted on top. That was good. Lots of pasta here... but that's okay!
Advice for the week - work like a donkey, but don't teach like one!
(MOM NOTE: again, he didn't say "I love you" or "Love, Steven" or anything like that! Who raised this kid anyway?!)
Interesting note: We received an email from Steven's companion's mother today. She writes: My son Elder Faber is your sons companion. We are from West Jordan UT. I think that it is really neat that both of our sons are together from the same State, and area. Brady has been out for 16 months, and loves the area. He says that he already loves your son.
Yeah, so do I!
