fourth week email at brazil mtc

Hey! so here's the news from last week. Our wonderful Brazilianos left which was terribly sad but luckily we got a a couple more in our door to keep us company for the next couple of weeks. 2 weeks! wow time has flown by here at the CTM and 2 weeks does not feel like enough for how much Portuguese i can speak, actually 2 weeks should be perfect because by then ill need to leave and finally get out in the field where the mission truly starts! An average day for me consists of
-up getting ready for breakfast
-eating breakfast
-companion or personal study
-class which is part language part teaching until around 12
-12:00 we have language personal study
-lunch at 12:30
-class again of language and teaching until 430
-4:30 is dinner
-after dinner is normally more studying with our companion of teaching or language
-after that we will either have a devotional depending on the day or computer lab language study
-then either gym or service
-then shower
-then lunch (brazilian late night snack ( necessary for all brazilians consisting of delicious chocolate milk that will make any human with a taste bud want the recipe))
-Then bed
My friend Trevor Michel from gilbert left the CTM today which was a sad good bye last night but i know he ll be a great missionary!
Oh and one of the Brazilians that we room with is from Recife which is way cool, when i asked him what he loved most about Recife all he said was the beaches....thats all any of the brazilians say, which doesnt sound appealing to me because i thinking we'll be kept a way from the beaches haha and i forgot my swim suit.....dang. But everyone form Recife is way dark, so ill have a huge missionary tan when i get home!
Once im in Recife i think email will be a lot better than mail because of the time and printing and everything so that will be pretty nice, thanks again for the letters they rock!
Today is pday and we went to the Campinus Temple again which is soo awesome i took a bunch of pictures of the view and everything that ill send when i get to Recife!
Thanks for everything you all are the best and i love you all soo much! Brazil is great and im having a great time! Talk to ya all soon!
PS- On sunday right after sacrament our district leader informed me that i had a lesson in district meeting, this was as we were walking into district meeting, i said ok because i had prepared a 5 minute talk for sacrament just incase i was called to give a talk. I asked how long the lesson needed to be and he said 30 minutes and like the prepared missionary that i am i stood up in front of the class ready to stretch my 5 minutes talk into a half an hour lesson. Oh and then the second councilor in our branch presidency and his wife walk into listen.....so i was a little scared because i honestly had no idea what i was going to do for the next half an hour. Luckily the lesson was on faith, which i needed to get through the lesson, so i managed to stretch it out and it was fine...actually the lesson was pretty pretty good, not to be prideful or anything....haha the second councilor and his wife said they loved the lesson so i was pretty happy to have been able to do that.
