Der Mom,     Since i am here in the field there are not as many people using the computers and i have more time to be on the computer so i can upload now. I would love it if you sent me a bunch of pictures. The people here absoloutly love pictures. They have pretty much everything here as far as ingredients go. The only thing they are really lacking is spices. I actually dont know about the yeast but i will look. The members here are awesome. We have lunch with somebody every day except Pday. They have a ward but we are still meeting in a house that has been converted to a church. If we baptize someone here in Candeias then we use a pool that this house has. But if we baptize someone in São Fransisco do Conde ,Which is my primary proselyting area, then we could use the ocean which i think would be really cool. I am still working on the lesson thing with my comp. He is a little different than i expected. He cant deal with things that he doesnt expect. He told me that he was expecting to train a Brazilian and had geared up his mind for that. Then he gets me and it threw him off. I know the doctrine pretty well and he wasnt expecting that. The only difficulty i have is with the language. So I will have to compromise with him on our teaching styles and get him to understand that when i teach people actually understand me. Oh well it will work somehow. Any way i got a letter from Sabrina today. Its good to know that one of my friends misses me. ;) I hope that i get more mail soon but if i dont its not really that big of a deal. Any way I love you and wish you the best. Love Elder Jensen
