Letter from Mike Mar. 19, 2008
Dude, mom. Sorry it´s late again. We went to the freakin Christ statue today. It was cool cool. Tranfers. I´m outta here. Gone with the wind. Don´t know where, but it´s a fact from the mouth of the pres. I´m gone. Things are going good. Baptized Sunday and we´re praying for another this weekend. Internets being awful today. I got the pack of letters today with the invite to b and b. Congrats. I loved it. I´m really glad to hear that the whole family seems to be doing well. D went from "working" at bjrv to WORKING at a real place. Amazing. I´m really tired these days. We´re running running running to save some soul haha It´s sweet. I´m really sorry that this is so short, but as you can see, p day ends in like ten minutes. I´ll give you a fat update next week from a place other than the fonseca with a new comp at my side. love you more than a lot. I pretty sure than ski patrol is for me. I´m gonna pull a Dave Parkin for a couple of years. I´ll never be young again, ya know? Again, loves and such. I like you more than a friend, I love you like a mom.

Hey. February is really gone isn´t it? I can´t believe it. I´m becoming a semi old in the mission. I´m the guy translating for greenies at conference. It´s nuts. Things are really going well. REALLY well. Costa has the diligent faith of a mustard seed, and we´re out to help everyone in our area. He´s really given me a boost. Fonseca was turning into an unworkable area, but he proved me wrong there. WE baptized Wallace this Saturday, and we´re looking forward with an eye of faith to get some more for the ward. I was really frustrated Saturday with our ward. NOBODY showed up to the baptism, the Bishop was late and in shorts, so we made him go home and change, but it turned out to be a really great baptismal service. President says that the whole missin is to study faith this whole transfer. It´s a good experience. If you go to the scriptures with a topic in mind, things will be opened to you. Like a Patriarchal Blessing. Read mine a lot this week and there are some pretty incredible promises there according tom ym faithfulness...I know leaders are inspired. I´m narrow minded. It´s so hard for me to do some of the things that they ask, but when I do them, if I swallow my pride, I´m happier doing this work....Saw a lady get robbed yesterday. Yelled at the guy in English and the whole world looked at me like I had lobsters crawling out of my ears. It was funny....Also, our streets were flooded. SO MUCH RAIN!!! Haha REad about Elijah this week, like you mentioned. He shows all of the prophets of Baal who the Lord is, and then what does he do? He kills um all. I don´t really know what to learn from that, but I love that story....Hope all is well with work and with the ward. I´m doing great. Transfers are March 26 I think. Not sure exactly. But yeah, if you ever need anything, give a holler. Thanks Dad. Love you.

Alright! EMAIL! P day! YESS!! Well, quickly, I will anser a question of Diana that I forgot to include in her email. Carnaval really is a dance competition. All the famous samba dance companies compete in a giant parade in Rio that last all through the night. That´s the basis. But what it really is is a nude festival in celebration of beer and breasts and gays. It´s quite interesting. I´ll come back and try it out...I´d love to have you guys come. I have to know six months before, so you´ve got plenty of time. We´re teaching Mauricio and Renata. Passed them a firm baptisms for the end of this week. Firm with faith. We´ll see how it turns out. This week has been really really wet. And we´ve been leaving the house at 8 and returning at 7 for Carnaval. Studying after a day of work is tough, but I´ve learned a lot. I encourage reading Jacob. He sure know how to burn the Nephite men, and anyone who denies Christ for that matter. He gives an excellent of how missionaries need to teach in the chapter dealing with Sherem. He teaches, and then testifies. It´s awesome. But hmmm, sounds like I´m missing out on snow to the max. Shame. Sam really cracks me up. Ken too. Us and our jokes. Not lies, jokes. Glad to hear my girlfriend doesn´t have a boyfriend haha Gotta love her. Sent her a hilarious Valentines thing. Be sure to ask her to see it. I am so funny I think.....But yeah, we´re teaching a lot, and we´re trying really hard to bring the spirit. That´s really what it´s about, is bringing the gift of the holy ghost to people that have never had that presence in their home. It´s amazing. D Uchtdorf as segundo. I´m stoked for that. I love that german apostle. But yeah, what else to say. I´m healthy, wealthy, and getting wise. Love you and thank the big man every night and morning for you as my mom and dad as my dad. Thanks for everything. Love you guys. Have a wonderful week. Me.
