Mike arrives in Rio! Oct. 10, 07

Went and taught with the assistants in the most humble places I´ve ever been. And it shows. These people just open their doors. Every other one opened yesterday and I taught five first lessons and one guy, on his one room home, told me he´d like to be baptized after I told him that being a member of the church is the first step in being with your family forever. It was amazing. Well we had transfer meeting this morning and I got my comp, Elder Jensen from Utah. He´s sweet. Domination at Portuguese. Our apartment...Well, we´re missionaries with not a penny to our name, but it´s cool.... It´s hotter that hades everywhere, all the time, but I´m trying to get used to it. The President and his wife are champs. The first thing she did is give me a pillow haha But I love them. Been eating beans, rice, salad, and other stuff todos os dias and I´m learning to like it....Well, I can´t drink coke haha but I can´t email anyone but family either. So much going on in my head. Things here are crazy. REAL missionary work is awesome. Teaching someone and seeing them feel the spirit is awesome. We have a baptism at the end of this week I think, so SWEET!!! I have to go, but thanks so much for all your prayers. I need them int his crazy city of RJ. Love you all.
