I have a few minutes to write you and let you know I am here in Curitiba, that i arrived safely, that there was no problems transitioning out of the CTM and through the airport and arriving here. I am very confident in my portuguese and i am very excited to see where i go next. We went primarily to the temple this morning and i just want to tell you what a beautiful place that is, President Cuvelier met us at the airport and then when we went to the temple we just walked around and then had a short devotional from President. He is an amazing man (but he´s a lakers fan so im not sure what i think about that). I am only allowed right now to send you three an email. Please send my best wishes forward and that i will try and get my group email started on Monday I hope. I have had many sacred experiences in the CTM, three that are very powerful and that stand out to me and i have written them in my journal in great detail. One of them being last night, I said goodbye to a young man by the Name of Elder Layne Bangerter. He is a very close friend of mine now, he is very talented, he is very smart, and he is perfect of the violin and can play anything you ask him to simply by ear. I know i knew him in the premortal life and i am appreciative of his example to me, even though we have only known each other for three weeks. He said goodbye to me with a deep conversation. This conversation was followed by a letter he beckoned me not to read until a later time. That was very special to me and i cant wait to tell you in detain about my other sacred experiences as well. I am not to rushed for time at the moment so i will try and give you a little detail about Curitiba so far. It is colder but not to cold for me. It is much cleaner than São Paulo and i am grateful for that, i feel the spirit here more already and i know i am meant to serve here. I do not know when i recieve my new companion, for now i am still with Elder Eddington and another young man from São Paulo named Elder Cappi who speaks English very well. As for things at home, keep praying for focuse and for help in all things, including school. I will pray for grandma and i hope you all have a safe drive up to the reunion. Monday is my next Pday. I am in the office now near the mission home somewhere (im not quite sure yet) writing this. Say hello to the entire family for me and anybody else you can as I am still upset i havent been able to find the time to set up my group emai. I will do that Monday and try and send out a big email to that so i can have two emails, one for you and the family, and one for the group. My português is coming along very well. And i am excited to send you pictures. i have many to send you and dont know how i will send them all but i will find a way. When you recieve them i ask you to please safe them, or even hae them developed. they are very special to me, and there is probably over one hundred. Have adam send boss my regards. i am sharing this email only with you mom so please share with dad my best regards, that i love and miss him but that i am in the best hands on both sides of the veil. Yesterday being our last day in the CTM i had the divine opportunity to give three blessings to the sisters in our district as they prepare to enter the feild. they were the most powerful priesthood blessings i have ever given and it was an amazing experience as well. For ada, tell him i love and miss him but that he needs to focus. He cannot give up so close to the finish line. I want him to graduate next MAY. Guarenteed. That all i have for this week. I appreciat the NBA updates with all my heart, please keep sending them! Lol. I also am recieving your Missionary emails from the one app. Send the famoçy, dogs, friends, boss, bishop, and others my best regards. This is the true gospel. I will write everybody else on monday.and you again as well. The church is true. Miracles happen, i can atttest to that now as i have seen them in my own life, and i cannot wait to share them with you. I Love you.
