Hey Mom,

Well that sounds like an absoloute nightmare. I hope that i never get vertigo. Glad you are feeling well though.

My new area is great  :) It is a city called Feira de Santana. I am the ZL and my companion is about five foot three. Haha its funny to see us walking down the street. I dont know why but President decided to put two elders that take meds together and they are living in the house with us. So far so good but i am afraid that the one that has anger issues will explode at some point.

I have a funny story. So on Friday the Bishop asked me to give a talk on Sunday. I asked him how long i should plan for and he said well five to fifteen minutes and we will see how long on Sunday. So Saturday night i get together something that would go on for about ten minutes. Sunday arrived and we went to church. I saw the bishop and he didnt say anything to me. I figured that he forgot or that i would be the first speaker. Sacrament meeting for me was trying to get a little six year old girl to be quiet since her Grandmother didnt come. Bishop annouced the first two speakers and it wasnt my turn. I relaxed and continued to play with the little girl. The intermediate hymn ends and i wasnt paying the least amount of attention to the bishop because the little girl decided that she wanted to go home and i was trying to get her to stay for another twenty minutes. All of a sudden I hear "Elder!" from my companion. I look up and everyone in the congregation is staring at me expectatnly. I was selected to be the last speaker... Needless to say that was rather awkward. I went up and gave my talk a little bit improvised and we ended the meeting without a hitch. Bishop thanked me and then asked "Did you forget?" I said no and that i figured that he forgot because he didnt say anything to me.

Well you know me. I am prone to have these things happen.

I loved those moose pictures hahaha they are awesome.

Dont worry about the email thing. I really dont care that much. It is just nice to hear from people once in a while.

Sorry about the birthday wish to dad. I forgot to punctuate it correctly.

The souveniers that i will buy will be the same ones as anywhere else it will just be cheaper here. That is the nice part about it.

Joe is going to be a dad!!! Dude...

Love your goofy son
