beleza! (this is slang that i learned from my bff hermana marshmellow that left last week. i may or may not have cried when she got on the bus:( but we still email!) it's my last week at the ctm! ive loved it so much. my district is the best and my comp is awesome. portugues is hard but it's crazy how much we have learned in these six weeks.

last week our night teacher got switched out and the new guy, irmao vianna, seriously knows more english than us. which is both scary and good ha. \he's from rio, grew up catholic and was converted to the church when he was 23, then served a mission in england so his accent is soo cool. also he's a whistling machine!. he's so smart with both the language and the gospel so his classes fly by even though they're three hours at the end of theday.

our other teacher stayed the same though! we looove irma demasio. she loves doctor pimple popper mom so i;'m in good hands ha. she keeps us updated on the pizza and hamburgers she eats and likes teaching us about bugs we find around the class haha. last week she taught us about this huge ant we found that was not supposed to fly according to her. she was pretty shocked when it DID hahaha. she's the best. when president nelson comes to sao paulo, she will be one of the couples to welcome him and make sure he's comfortable while he'\s in brazil. she is soo excited about it and she says that she will show him a picture of us! 

speaking of president nelson, he was the one to dedicate the ctm. he doesn't speak portugues, but during the dedication he told the translator that he wouldn't need him and all the people heard it in portugues! so if nelson can speak the language without knowing it, i can too:) 

love you all and my next email will be from the jungle!
