hey, tudo bom? today was really different. the president let us watch another movie- called -facing the giants-, about a football team and how they trust in the lord and when you work, never give up, even when it hurts. it gave me allot more desire to work and never quit. after we went to an old folks home and visited some old crazy people and one was hitting a chair because she was hungry so it was pretty funny. sounds like good weather, im dying of heat!!!! when i get back ill just lay in the snow. has there been any new campouts or stuff? sounds like stuff is normal, thats awesome that dan and landon will get married. you know one thing that i have learned these last couple of weeks, that life is hard but you cant quit. you cant wait for something to happen or for others to do something, you have to do it yourself. like dad was talking about. every day seems like a fight and you just want to give up, but you cant- you have to fight the good fight like king benjamin. so i have been here for 6 months - almost- in this area. i should be transfered in a few weeks. this next teusday we have a conference in macaé again. so i heard doug finished his mish or somthing like that. i havent heard from him in a while so i guess he finished. hows the cool new powerfull car? i have almost finished the book of mormon in portugues, im in mormon now. im pretty much addicted to studying now, i want to know everything but i only have a few hours to study each day. it would be cool to study for an entire day. how is jordan and the rest of you doing in reading the scriptures? thanks for the letters, they are good to read. no they are not annoying. everyonce in a while you feel overwhelmed with all the stuff so the letters calm you down. have a good week and never stop fighting, the scriptures and stuff have really opened my eyes about the real world around us and our part on earth. i know Jesus Christ lives and is our savior and he will help us in our problems. and our hevenly father also. this is my testimony. in the name of Jesus Christ amen. have a good week. and if you get the chance tell uncle dan hi and congrats, and uncle josh- hes going down. and uncle scott- thanks for being cool. love you all, Elder Davis---mmmmk- jordan-mmmk
