Tu es grande, tu es forte (SPC)!!! 02/10/18
















That subject is part of the São Paulo soccer team´s song. You know dad, i love the jersey idea and i think it would almost be cooler if we bought them together here in brazil. The São Paulo futebol club driver is in my ward and this morning he took us to the stadium and on a personal tour. We went to areas that only workers can go too! It was pretty awesome! It is the only soccer stadium of its kind in the world. There is no other oval shaped professional soccer stadium! the others are all rectangular! We saw there trophy room and their press conference room. I would love to take you guys to a game or to a tour here in brazil! They have spiked fencing to separate the fans from opposing teams in the cheap seats! it is so wild! I have never seen anything like it at a stadium! I will send pics. We also ate an american breakfast this morning with the Shermans! It was spectacular! I have not tasted those amazing flavors of whipped cream, waffles, maple syrup and bacon in such a long time!! I was in heaven. they even found milk that tasted like fresh american milk! (i bet it was pretty expensive too). The rest of the day we help some members with a move! We thought that it would only take like 2 hours but it ended up going from 10am until like 3pm! But it was a lot of fun! They took us to a sweet burger place afterwards! It is called Madero Burger and the restaurante is made of some of those large international shipping containers! It was sooooo good, I drank Green apple lemonade!! The members' names are Moroni and Erika!! I´ll send pics of all this stuff. I am getting close! one more week in the office. I´ll have p day next saturday (packing day to leave the office) and then i will go a week and a half with out p day! It will be good! Elder Eggers made an awesome spreadsheet to keep track of bills and rent and stuff. I have been trying everyonce in a while during these past transfers to make this and never could figure it out. So i asked for help and eggers worked non stop on this  thing until he finished and it is so cool. No we can print out a month report based upon the data in the table for president thomas about the mission´s finances.

Mom have you had a chance to see when we are going to fly here to brazil and go back? I havent had time to plan things but once we have specific dates, i can start to mark things to do with people! If you could let me know that would be great! My feet started hurting because of the wear and tear on the echos so bought new shoes for 30 bucks (100 reais) i hope they last me the three months that i have left. The second pair of echos has finally reached their end. They were great shoes, beautiful as well. I will bring one home with me as a trophy shoe. I should have kept on of the first pair, they were really destroyed!

I have got to go now, i loved reading your emails. I restarted the BOM and will try to finish it in the three months that i have left! I am practicing piano still and will perform with a senior missionary, Elder Barrett, in sacrament meeting, not this sunday but the next one!

A missionary couple that served in the area office and help with reactivation in my first area went home this week! It was crazy! the Andersons, i saw them arrive on their mission in my first area!!

Love you guys! May the Patriots win next year!
