It’s EJ’s first email. ;)

Yoo wassup everybody! well I am really out here in Brazil. I feel like I've been gone for so long and there's so much I want to say but I'm just going to say the important things in this email... I saw a dog today. naahh I'm messing I havent seen any dogs. But I have seen some weird lookin food that we eat. But I dont ask about it.  Brazilians are like the nicest people I've ever met. I love Brazil. At first I was like there's no way all these people are this happy and nice, but they really are. The first two days felt like one super long day and I was sooo tired but we made it through and I got into the hang of things quick. 

Christmas and New years are crazy here! the fireworks are like there is a terrorist attack outside. There is no way a person can sleep through it haha. They're way better than Honduras ;) 

The first week was one of the hardest weeks of my life and my allergies that makes people cry kept hitting me, it was super weird.... but I love being a missionary. Being able to feel the spirit all day and learning so much about the people and Christ is something I dont ever want to give up. Singing hymns and songs in portuguese at devotionals are like my favorite things ever! The spirit is definetely there.

I was able to jugle with some Brazilians too on Christmas and it was the best. And I still got my touch so nobody worry ;) They love soccer so much here so I am just like in heaven hahah.

Please write me! I miss you all so much. So much. But I'll talk to you more next week! we dont have a ton of time haha. Hope everyone has the best flippin year ever!

I can't wait to get in the field and serve those who need me and my savior just like he serves each one of us every day.

I will talk to you soon!
