The first week here has been challenging. From day one the teachers have been speaking only Portuguese and yesterday we had to teach the first discussion to an investigator in Portuguese. Its kinda like school but I have learned way more in the past 2 days then i did in the past two years of Spanish. I was going to type in some Portuguese but the computer I'm on the keyboard is only in English. My companion's name is Elder Beardall. He is kinda messy but he is a good guy. He is alot like Riley only he was home schooled. My other two roommates are Elder Shupe and Elder Apo. They are awesome guys too. we have been working hard together in almost everything we do. Everything is going really good though. I got assigned to be District Leader which makes me in charge of all the missionaries in my district. Plus im doing pretty well with the language. Dont get me wrong, its the hardest thing i have ever done but i can carry on a full conversation now and it has only been three days!!!! But every thing has been going well. I moved in great with no problems at all. My P-days are Saturday so i will only have an hour to write every Saturday while im here at the mtc. but you can always send me letters or packages to me at:
Elder Devon Austin Tomlinson
MAR17 BRA-RIO
2007 N 900 Unit 46
Provo UT 84602
Thats my address while im here. if you could i forgot a couple things.... my retainer, my Brazil jersey, and could you send my running shoes. They have a indoor track for when we go to gym time and there are record on the fastest mile and its only 5:27. I know i can beat it, i just need some lighter shoes.
I love you all and Miss you so much. Hows everything going? Anything new?
Tchau,
Devon Tomlinson
