Dear Family...And Ethan Hunter!

Wow, what an exciting week! That is so cool! I loved all of the pictures! He doesn´t look like a gordinho...little fatty, like you all are saying, but either way, we have found our new bubba! Haha! But i am so happy that he and Nicole are both okay and super healthy. I have been remember them in my prayers. And it was getting close to midnight! Almost born on the 17th! While Ethan was not given my name, I forgive him and his parents. Kidding! That is way cool that brother Erickson got to deliver the baby too.

So how was it with Miley and Anya staying around for a few days? Glad you already passed that stage mom and dad? Ha, i am sure it was a giant party. How are the girls responding to Ethan? It must be interesting to see them together, how they act and everything. But it looks like, from the pictures sent, that they love him already!

It looks like Ashley is living life up to the fullest! Going skiing and everything. Did you take a picture Ashley? Everyone would like to see some snow here, including me, ha. It sounds like it was a really fun trip. and congrats on the prom invite! That should be way cool. Taylor is a cool kid. But this is my official warning, anything happens and i will send some of my less friendly friends that i met in the street after you Taylor...hahaa....but seriously.

Wow you all really loved that picture of our area huh?! It is super small huh, but way cool. Yes Dad, we live in those apartments there, they have a basketball and vball court there where we play on pday. We actually played today for a good long while with Elders Nascimento, Hunsacker, Simão and Lindsey. That was way fun. So if you continue to look at our area, we mostly walk in the part up top, the Dunas. There is a lot of work there.
Oh and that is cool that you looked up the prices of coca cola...i wouldn´t know since we cant drink it! ha, kidding. I am actually fine. But when i get back we will have plenty of thirst buster trips mom...

I am going to look out for that google van and run along the side of it!

Well since i am still far from the office i have not gotten the vday package, only when someone goes up to porto alegre or they come down. It could be until the transfer now.

Oh! And i was thinking about bday, I think my white shirts are mostly okay for now. But maybe 1 or 2 would be nice. The rest, you don´t even need to! I am fine :)

I am glad that everything went well with your proceadure mom, that is a big relief. And you even got a specail lunch for vday!

Sad news...Danuza and Karina were not baptized. They canceled friday morning...the day of the baptism so we had to cancel and notify everyone else too. Well maybe one day in the future...but we are working on finding new investigators. But Lúcia is as great as ever! Very firm and we are helping her to stop smoking. After that we are helping her to get married, then baptism :) We are looking for chances to talk more with the whole family now.
The weather has not cooled down mom, ha. But yesterday it was super hot, then it started pouring freezing rain and then some hail! Crazy huh! And don´t worry, we stayed safe.

Well with our baptisms that fell we are looking for some new people to teach now! With lots of potencial! That is going to be a big focus this week.

I love you all and am looking forward to your email!

something interesting- we like to eat popcorn in house, we buy the kernals, put them in a pan with oil and go! Way good :)
