Im so glad im serving the Brasil, Belem Mission!!

Well, Good morning mom. Guess you forgot to write again. tudo bem, eu vo escriver voce! hmm, uma novo tranferencia e eu tenho uma compeniero novo. Nome dele é Elder Payne. E tamben ele a nosso lider de distrito. nossa.. Ele é meu melhor companiero aqui em a missao. Alright, Ill switch back to english, but next time you dont write! its going to all be in Portuguese! ha. Hes got 1 year and 4 months in the mission, so hes speaking pretty good, and definitely helping me a lot. My first American! hah. We have so many goals out here. One pday we are going to go to the beach like 30 minutes away, on the ocean, Just to take pictures of the sunrise. ive already seen pics from there, and theyre sweet. Weve got a bunch a families lined up for baptism already. Ahh man, we teach so good together. We switch off a lot, to keep the attention of the investigators. I really hope I stay with him for a while.

 Hmm, this week was pretty weak cause I was showing my comp around and stuff, but lets see, the other day, we ate lunch in the house of bishop. And there was a huge fish on the table, so we eat all of it. All of it... haha, I got one eyeball and half the brain on my plate, the other half was on my comps plate. the brain wasnt so bad, but the eyeball.. nasssty, it was like eating a rock. Yea, ill never do that again.. haha.

But today, we are going to check out the river, and all the cool little shops here. its going to be sweet. And tonight we are going to Castanhal again... Man, How are we supposed to work when we have to keep spending days in another area.. aw well. But were staying 2 days up there.. And I dont even have enough clean clothes.. so im kind of stressed out. ha, but ill get over it. When I get about one year on the mission. Im going to see if i can trade some clothes with someone, or get some smaller clothes from another missionary. im now down to a size large. And i dont even know about my waist. but my pants are huuuuge haha. But its whatever, its not that big of a deal.

Its my third transfer here in braganca, and I dont want to leave. I want to stay here till at least I get a year in the mission. Its soo sweet here. I had no idea that it was on the north east coast.. Thats why all the people here are fisherman, and we eat fish every day.. But yea, MY health is amazing. Im keeping up my exercises. And still losing kilos. I know sooo much about the gospel, but I know im not even close to knowing everything.. hah. But im trying. im reading the book of Mormon in Portuguese, and im in the second chapter of Helamen. Its great, Its almost like a different view. I love that book :D. Well, I sure hope you sent my box! so it will get here maybe around when Elder Neil L. Anderson does. Hes coming to speak to us in the end of Abril. WOOT! You know what that means! Hes gunna check out the area for a Temple!! That is what weve been working for. Stakes are blowing up everywhere out here. I think we are faulting 4 or 5 more. I know it will happen, while im out here. The liahona of brasil talks about our mission in every issue. Im so glad im serving the Brasil, Belem Mission!!

 Love all you guys, Hope your all doing fine. Keep living the gospel, and inviting others. Have a great week.

 Love,

 Elder Arroyo
