January 27, 2010 Update


My living conditions are pretty good in Marilia. In my apartment there are tons and tons of ants everywhere, but I have only seen one cockroach. I just found out that we are moving sometime in the next week or so, crazy stuff here. We do have a ward here, but I am not sure how many members there are. we don't get many referrals, but we contact tons of people. I don't ever have to cook. We normally just have bread and juice for breakfast and then for lunch a member will either make food for us or give us money for food. They don't really eat dinner here, we usually just have a snack of some kind. All we eat is rice and beans with some kind of meat and they eat every bit of the meat, fat and everything. and, yes, the food has agreed with me. I have not gotten sick. We walk a ton, but it is good. sometimes when we are far away from our house we will ride a bus back, which is a very crazy experience. the people here drive like maniacs! I haven't put any weight on and I think I am losing, but I am not exactly sure because we don't have a scale. My shoes are good and very comfortable. My knees and feet kill me everyday, but I will survive it. My companion is really a great guy, he is really funny. He is from Sao Paulo. with the language right now I hate it. All I can say is yes, no ok, and where I am from. It has been really frustrating for me, but I'm doing ok.
Life here for me is good and rough at the same time. I am not the most social of people and out here you need to be very social, so that is the hardest thing for me.
Mom: About my hair. It was 3:30am when I woke up that day for that picture, I didn't care too much about my hair. Ha, ha
I love you all and miss you so much!
