Hello, So I am in Brazil now, its cool here, don't understand what most people are saying, and this building is HUGE. A few days ago I was out on the streets and they were telling us how to just talk to people and give the book of Mormon. So I was trying it, this guy was talking and I really wasn't understanding... apparently he really wasn't interested... I understood that when the knife can out. I said sorry, I think in English and ran away. Just kidding I’m still in Provo, but that would be cool wouldn't it! My visa is not here yet, its all good, maybe next week. A few more people got theirs, but I didn't check. Really, state side or Brazil, I’m happy to server were ever the lord wants me to. Other than that my week was pretty normal. It depends on the day, or even the hour if I can speak Portuguese or not. Which I would say is frustrating for my companion and me. Cool thing that happened, the 70 that spoke Portuguese at general conference, he came to Provo and spoke to us. He spoke in English, but wasn’t good at it, which comforted me because I was being hard on myself for not speaking well yet and he was an extremely powerful speaker and still struggled with the language. So it was nice for me. He forgot a scripture he was going to say and, then he just laughed and said, see even a general authority messes up which was super comforting. In other news, I love the temple, it an amazing place! And in the temple the veil is super thin! I would say everyone should go there more often. Do some initiatory in the temple. I have a new friend on the other side now because of them. It was so amazing, during the speech, the temple worker stopped, because I was feeling so nice, and said, “sometime they are allowed to come down and see there ordinances done”, and I just felt the man hug me.. It was indescribable feeling of joy! and I will never forget how happy he was to have me do work for him. oh and I love giving blessing!!! They bring the spirit so strong!! The blessing was from one of the sister missionaries. and I didn't know anything to say so I just open my mouth and the blessing came out and I had no clue what I was saying but it was said and it made me feel amazing. All is well, or tudo bem, in Portuguese. The hard part of the MTC is making it through the days, week fly, it almost been a month I been in here and I leave 13 days under two week. Which is crazy because I fell like I just got here, and I been here for way longer, it hard to describe. Anyways, till next week. Your "little" Cody.
