Missionary letter...

Here are some excerpts from Brandon's last letter. He has to type fast so there are a lot of typos, but I just leave them in cuz they're cute!

Hey everyone! i saw the pics of dalin and he looks like a baby. That is a good thing. Just had thanksgiving here and it was a loooonnnng day. We were sitting in the gym for about half of the day, we counted. there was one devotional, a guy talked about humanitarium stuff, we watched an 80's video of the byu choir for an hour, and after dinner we had a fireside. dinner was pretty good seeing that they fed thousands of people at the same time. Probably the best part of the day was the humanitarium project. We made 10,000 first aide kits in 2 one hour sessions. it was really fun and they are going to the people of hati and figi. ...I got christmas stuff from the ward, so you can tell them thx for me. It was only about a month early though, i was kind of surprised to be getting christmas stuff before thanksgiving. ... Did i tell you that my companions are the zone leaders now? I'm not included because i'm supposed to be leaving sometime and i'm their companion because my companion left. its fun to go to all the things with them but not have to do all the work they have to do and deal with a million new guys. It still hasn't snowed yet but this past week has felt alot colder, don't know the actual temps though. It has also been really foggy lately, even in the middle of the day we can't see the mountains that are almost literaly right across the street. Portuguese is still coming along well, the lessons we had this week solved alot of issues of why some words go where and made talking without memorizing sentences alot easier. ... I almost forgot, in the chat rooms this week, this lady had no where to go and didn't know what to do and we got to talking and the church was the perfect answer for her. She had alot of issues and i got the number for the missionaries in her area and also the bishop for her area. She was really receptive and asked good questions. I also committed her to pray to God because she didn't have a book of mormon so she could'nt read it. I aslo got her to commit to call the missionaries and she was so happy that i was able to help her. Its crazy that i can help a lady from detriot... Talk to you later. Brandon lewis
