Life in the CTM Brazil

     First let me say I am really missing that cold weather! It's meutio calor aqui em Sao Paulo!

My day begins at 6:30am. I thought waking up at this time would be a lot harder than it is! Breakfast at 7:00, same thing everyday (a panini w/ weird different cheeses and ham). We grill it and it is pretty good. Then we have "personal" study for an hour and then language study for an hour and then gym! At first it was hard to get use to all the studying, especially because it's all individual. If you want to goof off then you can, there is no one to tell any different. So, a lot of people don't study, but I have a great district and we do all our studies!:) For gym we mostly play volleyball which is super fun! Afterwards we have 2 instructors that teach us. Most of the instructors are native Brazilian return missionaries. One of my institutor's name is Irmao Ramalho, he returned from his mission only 5 months ago. He is way awesome! Each instructor has an investigator they pretend to be. We teach them everyday. I have prepared a lot of lessons since I've been here, in both Portuguese and English.

That is what I do everyday and I really enjoy it. The CTM is a wonderful spiritual  place and I am so glad to be here. I feel like I am learning a lot, when I look back I know I have.
Please write me and ask questions.

I will send some pictures soon!

Love to all,
