so im starting over again. new companion, new situation. ill get to that later. so we had another solid week in itupeva. what i forgot to tell you guys last week is we got to go to the temple. elder iverson´s group to go home was there. the session was really good. i always feel so at peace and happy at the temple. i love that feeling. that night our ward mission leader took us to all you can eat barbeque. i think i ate a little too much because the next day i got sick. walking in the sun all day after eating looks of food isnt the best for you. but hey i learn from my mistakes right? i was on division with elder miller and he had to baby me and take care of all my needs. i love my brother. good thing i didnt get really sick until that night so we were able to work and teach several really good lessons. friday we had a breakfast celebration with french toast peanut butter and maple syrup. we tried to go as american as possible for us. luckily i was feeling better so i was good to eat. i do miss american breakfastes. they really dont have that here. friday was our last day to work entirely with elder iverson. we were able to go and visit all of our investigators. ana and lucas even made us dinner. man i really like them. she even made us our favorite dessert. moosé de maracujá. like passion fruit pudding. it was amazing and we had coke which is always a blessing. saturday we had to do an interview for the sisters and then elder iverson packed his bags. sad to see him go. we had some good times. sunday we had almost no one at church which was sad for elder iversons last sunday. but you could tell that the members really liked him saying good bye to him and such. after church our ward mission leader gave us a ride to campinas. we actually have a wet n´wild and a huge amusement park in our area. who knew? haha too bad we cant go...apparently i accidentally send my email already whoops. still have more to send...ana and lucas actually invited us to go there haha we had to turn them down. elder iverson had his interview with president and we actually got to stay at his house. its like a huge castle resort. sister tanner make us fresh waffles that were amazing and president just sat there telling stories. i love president and sister tanner. the best night of the mission by far. comfortable beds in a mansion. it felt like i went back home for a night. haha that morning elder iverson caught his plan and i was left in the mission office. i got to do some secret missions. at least thats what i called them. i was bored...me and another elder actually had to go all the way back to Jundiaí hour by bus to find a house that we didnt know where it was and rent it for a companionship. the task took 5 hours but we accomplished it successfully. random experiences on the mission. tuesday was transfers and im now officially with my first brasilian. elder ferreira da silva from the Bahia which is north eastern brasilian. he has 4 months on the mission. yup ive moved up in the world. senior companion and im officially not sending someone home at the end of the transfer. im excited. its gonna be really good. i really have a lot of stuff to learn this transfer but i know that lord will always be here to help me. i love you guys. dad...got the package thanks for everything especially the peanut butter. brynna...got your letter and pics. thanks a ton. mom...thanks for reminding me of valentines day. love you too and i dont know what they do here for it. anyways have the best week ever guys!
