September 15, 2008 (to Dad from São Leopoldo)

Hi Dad,

Mom has said a little bit about the hurricanes but nothing too much. Gramma told me a little bit too. It sounds like everything was really bad. Are more coming too? It seems like lately they have been coming in packs. It’s sad. I don’t really understand too much about all the financial market stuff. Want to explain? Haha I just know that the dollar is getting weaker and weaker. The Brazilians make sure to tell me that when they get a chance. Haha

I tried really hard not to laugh when I read the thing about Chad Johnson but I couldn’t help it. Hahaha! People probably think I’m crazy cause I laughed out loud. That’s hilarious. The guy is nuts. At least he can play though. BYU is seriously #11?

My companion is Elder Atanes. He’s from São Paulo. He’s a cool guy.  I’ll for sure stay here until the the first week in December. 100 percent positive. This is Atanes last transfer so he will leave and they couldn’t send me too or the new Elders wouldn’t know where anything is. So I’ll stay here and get a new companion, teach him the area, and most likely get transferred at the end of that transfer. So I have at least 80ish days here still.   I could stay a little longer but it’s unlikely.

We were hoping to have a baptism pretty soon but I don’t really know what’s going to happen. .We’re working with another couple and helping them get married. They are starting the process right now which takes about 30 days. So hopefully before I get transferred Ill be able to baptize them too. They are an awesome family. They already seem like members. Like their house already has that spirit, you know? It’s awesome.

I had a little extra time so I thought Id give you that little update on some of the people were teaching. I don’t talk about that too much. Last night we visited this less active family and it was cool. They’re going through some hard times and I think it made a difference for us to be there and just kind of get their mind off the whole situation. They fed us too which was pretty awesome. And they gave me a box of cereal! May not sound like too much but cereal is SOOOOO expensive. It’s a box of just like regular sugarless cereal. A small box too. But guess how much it costs? 8,00! It’s ridiculous. But I was pretty excited. I took a picture with it so Ill make sure I send it.

That’s pretty much it this week. I love you!

Elder Hill
