opa! sounds like things are going good, today me and my comp went down town to get our money.- we get about 110 reals every 15-16 days = about 50$. --i dont give my money away, and i am saving it for an amergency or something. we also went around and found a place where they sell american candy so i bought a snickers. but it costed allot. i also baught 2 new ties and some pants because my other pair is stained with sweat and wont go away. this week me and my comp worked harder than i have ever worken on the mish. we set a big goal to challenge us and with the lords help we planned ahead and worked way way hard and the last day, sunday we still had to teach 3 lessons 1more with a member and get 10 more contacts in. so we knocked doors, called all the members and did what we could and i now know we really can do anything with the lords help, we just have to do our part. and we completed our goal. 21 lessons, 10 with members, 75 contacts 12 new invest. and some other stuff. it was the best week ever. one day when we were walking down the street to start the day, we found a box going to the trash can and it had a cristmas tree in it, about 2 feet tall with some old ornaments. so me and my comp grabbed it so now we have a cristmas tree at our apartment. the lord gave us the tree for the good work we did. dad said - cute- ehhh. is the sand rail getting heavy with all the stuff your putting on it? when i started the time to study seemed a little long the first week on the mish but now it just passes too fast and i learn allot every day. i want more time to study. dad, whats a stake light? thanks for all the help and for the letters and things, have a good week and cort- go to church. jord- is gears of war 2 good or what? alex- enjoy every day. mom love you, dad- thanks for everything and love you . love you all and have a good week.
