Hey everyone!

Things are still great in Brasil! I´ve really been embracing this gaúcho stuff. One of the coolest things that they have is called chimarrão (sheem-a-how.) It´s a ground up and dried plant that they drink with hot water from a squash thing called a cuia. It looks really weird, but it´s awesome. I would like to see what happened when chimmarrão was invented. I´m pretty sure that some random gaúcho just looked at a random plant, and said, "I bet I can drink that." No matter how it was invented, it´s awesome. They also have really awesome barbeque here called churrasco, (Shoe-haw-sco) and it´s awesome. They cook it by roasting the meat on spits. They don´t really eat any weird food here, but I did eat a bunch of churrascoed chicken hearts the other night. They tasted really good too.

I hope all of you guys are still doing great, I am!

Sincerely,

Elder Day

Hey everyone!

Sorry that I forgot to write last week, things can get pretty busy here!

Conference was really awesome! I enjoyed every minute. Every speaker had great things to say. I especially enjoyed the talks given by Elder Holland, and President Eyring. I was able to watch the four main sessions live in our chapel here in Rio Pardo, but I had to wait to hear the Priesthood session until the next day, when I could download the podcast. All of those talks were great too. President Uchdorf's talk was just full of jokes. He is probably the funniest Apostle. President Eyring's other talk during the Preisthood session was also great. I especially liked when he quoted Proverbs 28:1, because that scripture is at the beginning of the movie, "True Grit." 

Everything in Rio Pardo, Brasil is still excellent! Thanks for your support everyone!

Sincerely,

Elder Day

Hey everyone!

This week was great, like normal. The biggest thing that happened is that a new transfer started. I can't believe that I´ve already been in Rio Pardo for 12 weeks, its nuts! Time has been flying since I´ve gotten on my mission. Last week, I hit 6 months on the mission too. If time keeps moving this quickly, before I know it, I will be home.

Transfers are here again! This transfer, I will be staying in Rio Pardo with my companion Elder Norton. I´m really excited about that, because I really love Rio Pardo, and Elder Norton is a great missionary. 

Thanks everyone!

Sincerely,
Elder Day
