Matt: November 16, 2011

Dearest family of mine,
This week has come and gone. Each faster than the last. My boy Jackson that got baptized a week and a half ago was too tired to go to church to be confirmed, "But this week I promise I´ll go. You can count on it." So he will have to wait 4 more days to receive a complete remission of his sins. Something else interesting, we are teaching a man named Auede. Now that doesn´t seem abnormal just reading it, but the way you pronounce his name is "a wedgie" ha ha ha! Yesterday we went to Pizza Hut to eat lunch and it was pretty much the same as it is in the USofA, except for here in the dirty dirty they have other ingredients that they put on pizza here that don´t even exhist in the States (Jor, how would you explain Catupiry?) and also down here in the Southern Hemisphere Pizza Hut is like DOUBLE the price!!! Luckily for us a member gave us enough money to eat there, and according to the Brasilian I was with, "That was the best 6 pieces of pizza to ever enter my mouth." Another cool thing that happened yesterday was that I got to do a division with my old MTC companion elder Marx! It was so great. We did some good reminiscing and it was interesting to see how far we have come from the days of, "You know Elder Gagon we´re not supposed to have vain repetitions in our prayers, and you said the same exact thing in your last two nightly prayers."
"Well Elder Marx, those are the only things I know how to say in Portuguese; so until I learn how to say more stuff that is going to be my prayer." ha ha ha so great. It´s amazing to see how much things have changed and the progress we´ve both made. The mission is truly incredible... Awesome awesome.
Other than that just teaching and preaching and working like missionaries do. Last week got to be pretty dang hot, but then Saturday rolled around and it has been freezing for the last 5 days.

Nat- Oh yeah, just drop a beat and freestyle why dontcha. Ha ha Avery sounds like the cutest. Have you done the thing where you try a little bit of baby food to trick them into thinking that "even grown ups like this stuff" but then you´re really thinking "Wow I can´t believe babies eat this crap!" ha ha ha good stuff. Does she already walk? Yikes- airplane with a baby...WOOF!

Well, love you all
-Elder Matt Gagon
