There are pictures of my first baptism with Suelen, my apartment (the biggest room), my companion making lunch, me and my roommates from the ctm in Brazil.. loved them, me and the sand dunes a while back... me playing ping pong with my last opponent (i was teaching her), and me and Danielle in the mtc in provo right before I left.
I will send more next week! hope you enjoyed!
[Note from Sam's mom: We had an hour-long call via Skype with Sam yesterday and it was so wonderful to hear her voice and have a two-way conversation! Her dad was in Florida, so we got a 3-way call going with her brother Alex and I here in Washington. She was in the home of the Bishop in her area, using his computer. She reports it is starting to get cooler there, but it's still in the 70's. It likely won't get colder than in the 40's in the dead of winter (July) - at least where she is right now on the coast. Transfers will be happening a week from tomorrow, and she has no idea if she'll stay put or be transferred to another area of the mission. We'll see what the mission president thinks in a week or so. She finally got the box of Easter stuff I sent- so it took about 4-5 weeks to get there, but she's receiving letters in a little over a week's time. She reports she hasn't heard from very many of her friends since she arrived in Brazil - but has loved letters from her cousin Jared, a friend from year 1 at school (I'm sorry I don't remember her name!), Annie, and Elin (thank you thank you!)... she's feeling a little homesick - 15 more months feels like an eternity away, and news and support means a lot. Despite her fight with mosquitoes she is in good health, and we enjoyed some detailed descriptions of daily life. And I believe she mentioned she has already done some shopping to add some vivid Brazilian color to her wardrobe. It was a great Mother's Day - so awesome to talk to Sam!]
