Tennis and Bananas

  I have been having a great day!!!  I am also way behind  and still need to shop for the week!!!  sorry I can't write much!  

    I did get my card and have begun collecting souvenirs!  I am probably going to buy a ton of capulana for you and the girls, cause I super love it and I hope you will too!!!  

    Also I am curious as to what I should do about my lack of chimera, should I try to get another or enslave my companions and manipulate them into taking a vast amount of pictures of me in order that I might have pictures for memories!  If neither that is fine too!  I like to tell stories anyway!!!

No pictures today!

So yeah mom I uh kinda got robbed again and now I have no camera with which to take pictures...BUT I solemnly swear to keep writing!!!

 I am so excited to get presents for all yall!!!  I don't know what to do about the camera if I should try to replace it or...  I too am super ultra mega excited to see all yall again!!!  Just so you know I am planning on going to UVU in May after returning, and I am not sure how I am going to do anything else!  I am hoping to do something fun for work like work at a scout camp or something but of this I am very doubtful!!!  I Am thinking I will just roll with it and plan on not being a slug!  

A Day Off

 This past week we had elections and we were worried that things would be a little crazy, so the mission president told us all to stay home for the Wednesday just to be safe so we basked like bosses!  I am sending a picture of what happens when 6 elders are stuck in a house for 24 hours!!! The other two were off doing something else like cooking or something!

November Ninja Turtles

 Well we have one couple we're teaching who agreed to just sign the papers instead of having a "real" wedding!  That means they wont do a party, or anything they will simply do all of the documents and have a tiny ceremony, sign the papers necessary, and be done with it!!!  SO EXCITING!!!!  Also we had a wedding of an investigator couple which went super well and it seemed like the couple had a blast!!  Mozambiquans don't smile when they are happy unless you make them.  Elder Jarvis is awesome and we are super mega ultra excited for all the work we are gonna do this transfer!!!  I have two pictures of him that I am sending you!!!!  

What Alexander does

today is transfers, and I am now training again!!! Elder Jarvis!  I am super excited to train!

Opening pop bottles with your teeth

Still no new pictures :( but here is some news:  I had told Alex that Elizabeth had a date... also we talked about missionaries being released in their area when their parents came to pick them up.  Alex will be flying 72 hours from Mozambique to Lafayette.

Here is his letter!

There are a few people who's families are coming to pick them up, but honestly I want the whole homecoming experience anyhow!  I would however love to come back with all you guys here in a little bit and show you just how wierd it is here!!!  

    On a more serious note I trust you completely, BUT I am not at all happy about the idea of Elizabeth going on a date, much less with some one named Shaun (do I know Shaun? how old is Shaun? Hair color? Pics? Blood type? Eye color? Urinalysis? Teeth? Lineage? Hobbies?) Anyhow I am kinda joking but I obviously don't like being so far away when my baby sister is going on dates!!!!  I did get the box!!!  It was awesome!!!!  SO EXCITED!!!!  BUAWHAHAHA!!! Thankjs for the tie tacks!!!  It always such an amazing feeling to get a box!!!  Also I loved the macadamia nut cookies!!!  SO GOOD!!!!  

     So 2mac's name is Manuel Joao Dias.  I do have fun stories, let me think...ummm jeese I cannot think of anything right now!!!  OH you know those sealed bottles that have caps for which you need the bottle opener? Well we taught a family whose daughter would open them all the time with her teeth!!!  There are lots of ways to open those bottles and I will demonstrate a few when I return but my favorite is just holding the top against a table or something solid and hitting the cap as hard as I can!  That one hurts the least!  I will try to think of more fun stuff for next week but I just think it will be so much more fun to stay up all night telling you guys this stuff in person!!!  LOVE YOU!!!!
