"Today was a great day. We had gym in the morning and then service at night. Service is really fun cuz we get to wear normal clothes and they usually let us off early. The language continues to zip along. I speak more and more Portuguese every day. Sitting with the Brazilians at meals really helps. Today we had a spiritual district meeting. The meeting was about us needing to pay more attention in class. I got a letter from Dad today. DeSoto basketball won state! I saw the pictures and showed em to everybody. The Dallas Mavs and Stars are also in 1st place in the NHL and NBA. Emmit Smith was released but I think the Cowboys will be getting much better. Today was Irma Sandra's last day. We bought her flowers and had a spiritual testimony meeting. Tomorrow we are supposed to go all day without speaking English. It will probably be a very tough and frustrating but with the Lord we can do anything. Friday we go proselyting. I am really excited and scared."
