Dear Mom,

Just to make things clear. I opened the box because of the ants. It was not opened by anybody else. I am however saving the stuff for Christmas. We did not have Thanksgiving with President Hart but on Saturday we had lunch with him at Outback. :) It was so good to eat a real t bone steak again. I could have died.

There is a funny story to tell though. Brody ,President Hart's son, was talking to me on Sunday after church and asked me where i was from. After I responded he said "Oh i have a cousin that is serving in Alaska. Her name is Madison." I said "Oh that is cool I will have to say hi to her." 

"Yeah you should do that. She would make a great wife but don't get to know her too well on her mission!" hahaha

I thought it was funny. I saw a picture of her in President's house a while ago. She is a cute girl. If i am not mistaken she is serving in Anchorage right now. Anyways i thought that his comment was really funny. His little girls love the missionaries. Tuesday night they took us to a fifties style hamburger restaurant and we talked for a long time. Brody is part of the Tabernacle Choir and his wife Corrine is  part of the Orchestra. Their three little girls all play the violin and did a musical presentation. It was a good evening full of laughter and good eating :)

I don't like São Paulo. No space, no greenery, and way too many people. It is not clean and the roads suck. It is very suffocating. Salvador is only worse because it is even more dirty and the roads are crappier. Yet there are parts of the city that look like they could be from a first world country. It really is fascinating. 

How was the Batman movie? People tell me that it is good. I am excited to get back and to watch all these movies. That cat is useless but she is so FLUFFY! 

Well it is transfers week. I will get a trainee tomorrow and then it will be the start of my third to last transfer. The end is upon us.

Love you mom have a great week :)
