Heeey family,
Well, I guess I lost three
more days of my mission. I can´t even believe it. I really am excited to
get back, and see the whole family again and get back to studying, but I’m sad
to have to leave Brasil. It´s funny, because I took for granted brazil and the people since I’ve been here, but lately I’m starting to value it
all more. It´s like what everyone says, you don´t know what you´ve got
til it´s gone! Oh well, what can you do.
About seeing Alicia at
Atlanta, I’d be fine with it, but it seems like a great Hassle on Alicia’s
part. I´m sure I’ll see Alicia soon enough. I´d love to see her,
but I think it´d be easier not to. She´d have to get up like 3 in the
morning! haha, I love you Alicia!
About who to invite, you can
invite whoever to the homecoming. I don´t know, I think it´d be cool to
have just family at the airport. At the home, you can invite whoever you
feel comfortable inviting. The day of the homecoming can be whichever.
You can leave my homecoming day the same day, if you´d like. Or you
can mark it on the 25th. Maybe I’ll be tired from the flight and the
mission, but it´ll be good to see everyone again, and have my mission fresh in
the mind.
One thing I DO want to leave
marked is a visit to the Temple, soon after I get back. I´m probably not
going to be able to go to the Temple here in Curitiba, but I need to go at some
point. I need to account to the Lord. Preferably the week after I
get back (because I imagine that on that Saturday, I’m going to be way tired)
Ok, lets leave this topic for
now!
Parigot de Souza is a
blessing! It´s been a crazy week. So the Elders that were here
before baptized everyone that they were teaching, so now we´re kind of starting
from scratch again. We found a LOT of new investigators, like 7 different
families. The Lord blessed us a lot this week.
It´s weird beyond belief,
returning to this place. I´ve seen a LOT of familiar faces this week.
I saw several recent converts that I taught more than a year ago,
including Amanda, Thiago, Felipe, and Vera. Everyone that was pregnant
when I left all of a sudden have a baby. Everyone that had a baby while I
was in Bairro novo all of a sudden have a toddler. It´s been so strange.
Everyone was really excited to see me this week. It´s fun to see
everyone, but then again, I feel bad for Elder Morales, because we end up
losing time at activities and at Church! haha, I’m trying to avoid
catching up with all of these friends for TOO long, but it´s fun to see them.
Elder Morales is great!
he´s a funny Chilean, and is a great teacher. He´s being an amazing
companion, I’m sad that I’m not going to stay with him for that long.
Well, I gotta go (it´s hard
getting used to the 45 minutes again).
LOVE YOU LOTS!
Elder Twitchell
PS Autumn should be expecting
a letter, and I’ll send one more letter to the family.
