Hey y'all, I love you all so much. Its crazy how long I have been at the MTC but its only been 5ish weeks. I can't believe that I only have one week left then I leave....to....um.... So my week was really good. We started to learn some really hard grammar that has blown my mind. I'm so scared for when I go to Brazil. Good thing I have more than one week now before I leave to Brazil. We had a Substitute in class yesterday that lived in Brazil before his mission and then went on his mission to Brazil. So he didn't know English very well. He told us of how amazing Brazil is. It really put our minds at ease. But the rest of the week was amazing. My memorization skills are through the roof. I can read a Scripture like a couple times and send like 15 mins memorizing and I have it memorized in Portuguese. Its so crazy. I have memorized so many things since I got here. Every Tuesday we have a speaker come and Talk to us and he is living Brazil. Its so crazy, everyone from Brazil is so happy. He was from Sao Paulo though...I forgot his name cause it was really long but it started with an "A" so Brother A. Wednesday I got to Host again for the second week in a row. Hosting is when you help all the new missionaries coming in on Wednesday and take them to get there stuff and take them to their room. It was so much fun. This next monday we get to host but its all the internationals so it might be hard to communicate with them. I'm just hoping they speak Portuguese... But this last Wednesday when we were hosting I talked in a British accent the whole time. It was so funny :) They all thought it was so funny :) But then on Thursday we got to skype to members in Brazil. We just gave a short message to a Sister in Sao Paulo. Its so amazing that we were able to understand what she was talking about even with her talking so fast. She told us that it was super hot so bring tons of sunscreen. I so ready to tan. I hate been in cold states where you are just white. Anyways Friday and Saturday are always the best days. Yesterday we had to teach our investigator on the move. We clapped outside her door ( same as knocking in Brazil) and she came out and said that she had to run to the grocery store and that we could teach her on the way. It was so hard, me and my companion had prepared to teach this long lesson on The Commandments and now we only have 2 mins to teach. We just taught her about the word of wisdom and gave her a pamphlet and had her pray about the things she reads and we will have more time to explain everything monday. So today everyone in my district got their reassignments except Elder Apo which means he got his visa. My companion (Elder Beardall) is going to New York, New York. Which is funny cause he is from a small town in Colorado and hates big cities. I'm going to....... The South Dakota Rapid City Mission! Which is going to be so cold. Thanks mom for the winter coat. While I'm at the airport on a week from this Tuesday I'm able to call family members so everyone send me your phone numbers. It will be at like 2 in the morning and i will be on a pay card so my time will be limited but I would love to hear familiar voices. Sorry but my time is up. I love you all. I cant wait to hear from you all.
Love,
Elder Tomlinson
