About the trip: I flew from SLC with one other Elder and then we met up with 5 others in Texas. We all commented on how strange it was to meet up with strangers in a foreign place and instantly feel a brotherhood. Very Cool!
On his 2nd P-day in the MTC:
So many things in my inbox! I have the best friends and family in the world! Well, I´m doing all sorts of fine and dandy. P-days rock. I´ve been out wandering the streets and I can´t wait to get down to the nitty-gritty haha I´ve been busy all week...It wears me out studying 24/7, but I couldn´t be more all about it. It's amazing having the spirit on your side. True happiness is in Brazil ladies and gentlemen. Thanks for the letters. Portuguese is a mean bully, kicking me in the mouth with every mistake I make. It´s fun, and I love trying to talk to the Brasilieros. Most of the time, they look at me like I have lobsters crawling out my ears, but it´s a fun experience. I can pray, testify, and give the first lesson in Portuguese, and this week we start on the second. It´s hard to train your tongue to something so different, but it´s an awesome experience. We go to the temple on every p day. The first five weeks we go to Campinas, which is about an hour and a half away, and the last four weeks, we go to Sao Paulo. The Campinas temple is rad. I love it. Portuguese isn´t the highlight of the trip, but it´s an interesting experience nonetheless haha Well, Mom, Dad, I love you. Thanks so much for helping me get out here and showing me what it means to be a servant of God. I couldn´t love it more. Don´t ever worry about me. I am so fine. I have a blast in this big frat house of a missionary training center. Let me know what you want to know. Thank you for all your support and prayers. I can feel them. I hope that you can feel mine.
Love from afar, Mike
