Week 84

So this week we finished up with getting a new house. We had a lot more problems including not having electricity for a day but it was alright cause we bought some candles and studies by candle light. It was pretty weird and Elder Lima pretended to be translating the Book of Mormon. I´ll send you pictures next week.

We got rejected a lot this week!! A lot! Nobody even went to church with us this week. It was pretty tough and by the end of the week I had just about had it. But today is p-day and I can rest and relax and this next week I´ll change some things and we´ll have more success.

Well..... it was a super long week and all we did was visit some members and knock on a whole bunch of doors. I'm not sure what else I have to say!

I love you and thank you for your emails. I miss you all a lot and hope you have a great week.

There will be rules for the world cup but I dont know what they will all be yet. One is that we have to return to the house by 3 o´clock which means I will be reading A LOT of scriptures! Though I don't know if thats only on the day that Brazil has games or what exactly.. I'll let you konw next week! The first game for Brazil is on the 12th!

Tchau

Package Mailing Instructions:

DO NOT send anything by: FedEx, DHL, UPS, etc. The mission cannot accept them and your missionary will have to pay, sometimes hundreds of dollars, to get them out of the customs office, often more than the total cost of the items sent.

The best way to send packages to your missionary is to use a PRIORITY MAIL INTERNATIONAL envelope obtained at any U.S. Post Office. The flat rate envelope is about $12.00 for up to 4 obs. Packages arrive in Brazil fairly quickly and safely in about 3-4 weeks. Priority boxes also work well but are more expensive to send.

Please use padded envelopes when sending CDs, thumb drives, or other small items. These items, when placed in a flat envelope, damage postal equipment and can be damaged during transit.

Merchandise: Clothing, food products, and merchandise should be sent direct to the mission office address. However, clothing or other dutiable merchandise often does not reach its intended destination or, if it does arrive, may be subject to customs duties that the missionary will not be prepared to pay. Small packages of nominal value may be sent through the United States Postal Service. Photographs and tapes may be included in these packages. Merchandise sent through a commercial mail carrier is extremely expensive and may be subject to customs duties, but this is the best way to send credit or debit cards.
