Dear Family,
Wow, one year ago
yesterday I received my Visa for Brazil!!! pretty crazy, huh, it´s been a
while! I´m going to hit my one year mark in Brazil next week.
I know I’m doing pretty
bad with pictures. But the thing is that I feel weird taking pictures during a
normal day. We´re not supposed to look like tourists... I basically take
pictures only on P-day or when there´s a baptism. But you´re right, I’ll try
taking more pictures. I´ll set a goal to take pictures every p-day.
Yeah I heard about Mitt
Romney. It was funny when we found out here, it was quite anti-climactic. Elder
Windous and I were doing a service project for a less-active lady in our ward.
We were basically weeding. Anyway, Elder Windous got a call from a member that
told him that Obama won. Elder Windous told me, we both were like ´Well,
shoot.´ and continued weeding. Haha, this way is a lot better, people get way
too angry and violent about these kind of things. My vote was for Jesus Christ.
Things probably won´t change all that much, Obama didn´t do a whole lot the
past four years... well, he killed bin laden and threw 1 trillion dollars into
the ocean... but the only thing that I want when I get back is to study at BYU
and get married forever.
That´s sad that that
lady from Quincy sent that hateful post. I wonder what she was thinking while
she´s writing that? ´Wow, they´re so hateful that I’m going to send an angry
private message. That’ll teach them´. haha, what a clown. You should copy the
message she sent you and paste it in the comments so that everyone can see.
Hey, look what she said! People are so cowardly with the internet. But no,
don´t do that, it won´t help anything. I think when I get back, I’m not even
going to use facebook anymore. I do have a plan to write for the BYU Political
review when I get back, though. Man, I had such high hopes to do that while I
was studying at BYU, but now I’ll have to do that after the mission.
Well, this week was
pretty good, we found a neat family this week that we´re already making plans
to marry them so that they can get baptized. I hope it all works out! Our lunch
fell through on Saturday, but that was fine, because Elder Windous and I had a
classic American breakfast... for Lunch! We had pancakes, bacon, and omelets.
It was delicious.
I don´t know what I’m
going to do for thanksgiving day here. They don´t have it, so I’ll probably
just be eating rice and beans at a members house. That’s fine though, I think
that Christmas we´ll have a big meal.
Well, I’m glad you liked
the letters, sorry that it took soo long.
But hey I got to goo.
Love you lots, don´t get too discouraged about Obama, if we´re doing the right
things, the Lord will bless us. It´s not even that big of deal, the Church is
True, the Book of Mormon is true, so what else matters?
Oh, and you forgot to
warn me about floods and dogs and fleas and snakes, so I think I’m going to
have problems this week.
Love
Elder Twitchell
