That's more than a dress; it's a Grace Kelly movie

Sorry that I'm getting to my email so late. I'm doing a division with one of my zone leaders, and we just finished watching Brazil play in the Cup. They beat Chile 3-0!! Everyone's going crazy! Vamos lá Brasil!!

This week was a little crazy. With zone conference on Wednesday, the Brazil-Portugal game on Friday, and this division going from last night to today, we didn't have tons of time to work. And before you think I'm a slacker for not working during the Brazil World Cup games, you have to understand what it's like down here. I guess the closest thing to it back home is when you're in a college town on the day of a big football game. Except it's crazier down here. And it's like that across the country. Everyone watches every Brazil game, and no one is in the streets. Plus, we're allowed to watch the games.

Anyway.

Zone conference was pretty crazy this week because it was my mission president's last one. I'm pretty sure the new president is getting here on Wednesday. Everyone, including yours truly, cried like a baby when it was time to say goodbye to President Vieira. I'm sure the new president will be great, but it's going to be weird having to adjust to how things change. I'll let you know how that goes.

Oh, so I guess my package got here. My companion went with the other zone leader to Ribeirão Preto because my LZ had to go to the doctor. While they were there, they got my package from the post office because, once again, the Brazilian government robbed me. This time I got to pay R$175 (about 85 dollars) to get my package out of their claws. We're going to meet up with my comp again soon, and I'm stoked to see what you guys sent me!

Our work in this area is moving reeeeeeeeeeally slow, but it's moving. We're doing our best to find good people, but so far we haven't seen any results. I mean, we don't have any progressing investigators at the moment. It has been pretty hard not to get discouraged. But whatever, we're working diligently and being obedient and all that. I know that the results will come, even if I'm not here to see them.

I'm going to have to end this. Sorry for making it so short this week. I love you guys! The Church is true!

luv
