Did I tell you I sleep in a hedge?

Bom Dia mai!! ha, My feet! They look like rocks haha. Yesterday I just wore my flipflops instead of my shoes haha, it looked pretty legit. Everyone loved it. MY stomach, My stomach is doing better. Ive adjusted to the food here I think, Cause I eat a lot now haha. I love it!! But the fruit is what will get ya! haha. Theres soo much, and for my innocent stomach some fruits can do some damage haha. But Im feeling a lot better. Ummmm, I dont think the time changed here. I dont know. I dont even use my watch. I know exactly what time it is by just looking at the sun. Ahhh I got a huge sunburn like 3 days ago, cause I forgot to put on my sunscreen.. It hurt soo bad. But I woke up the next day, and I had a beautiful tan.


Marituba
 Oh yea! SO we moved on saturday! Our new house is sooo sweet! And its right next to the church! Were going to finish moving all the big stuff today!

ANWAYS! The people accept me. There are some people that see me and just think *american, he just thinks hes better than us* but then I talk to them and joke around and theyre like ahhh this guy is one of us haha. You have to have a sense of humor with the people here. Cause in Marituba its just straight ghettos.
First Baptism- Anderson


I sing everywhere I go. I found my voice. The people love the way I sing in portuguese. I sang in a duet with a lady in our word for our baptism last week, and it was legit. My piano skills are going off the wall! Thanks Sister Burton! I love just playing random stuff and singing with the people. Even though I dont understand what im singing half the time haha. Or vice versa. And yea the kids sing the same songs of course in portuguese. The kids loooove *Elder Ahoys* haha its what the kids call me. Its easier for them. They get food in the first class, and they know that elder Ahoyo has a snack tax haha. We have a lot of baptisms coming up. We have a bunch of investigators preparing to be baptized on the same day so our goal for this month is 14. so we have 3 days to baptize 14 people. Its going to be very fun!
First Baptism- Anderson

And I pray sooooo much here. I feel like I walk with the Lord everyday, and he is just holding my hand. But hes also tearing me apart. Hes turning me into a humble piece of poop! haha and it hurts!! After he tears me apart hes going to rebuild me into a man. I cant wait. Oh, Did I tell you I sleep in a hedge? Or a hammock. Its pretty legit haha. And comfortable, its my comps old one. So I didnt have to buy one. Ill get a picture of me in it for you. Hows work going for everyone? Are yall still partyin with the burtons? Hows Reo and Mark? And has Preston left yet?
Oh, And I dont know our address. But we live in Marituba. And if you go to google maps and look. Look for a Big Statue of Jesus. It almost looks like a doll. And youll be able to find our church from that and we live in an apartment building next to the church. But our area is huge.

2nd Baptism- Aline
Oh, and for my natal package. Just a couple Ideas for what I want haha are. A small cheapo MP3 player with a lot of EFY and church songs on it. Ask Melody to help with that. She has good taste! And small speakers. And Crocs!! I would love me a pair of crocs!! And cheese in a can! And whatever little goodies you want to send. But thats what I would really love to have here. Sorry this email was lame. Its hard for me to remember everything that I did during the week when I email home. I just get too excited and forget everything. Anyways I love you guys! And Im going to attempt to send some pics home now! Wish me luck haha! Tchau!
