News from Brazil!!

We finally got an email from Brandon. Sounds like everything is good in Brazil. Here are some excerpts:

Oi! How´s it going in America! I made it to Brazil but I didn´t send you a letter so i will do that now. The brazil ctm is nothing like the one in provo. It is only one building and only aout 300 missionaries are here.I saw andrew before he left and he was excited to go. the food here is not vey good but i´m getting used to it. the ctm is very beautiful and we are in kind of a poor part of são paulo, it is very different than anything im used to seeing. .. My new district is really cool and my new comp is elder nyman, he is from wyoming.the ctm is alot more relaxed than provo and we can go outside the gates on p day. I´m writing this email in a small store down the street from the ctm. we also go teaching this friday so we will head to a busier part of the city for that. We just got back from the são paulo temple and that is really cool because everything was in potuguês, thats because i did inititories. its really cool to go out and about through the city and see things. ..I´m having lots of fun here, the teachers are really good. this city is huge, they said that it is one of the top five biggest cities in the world. But one of my teachers said in goiania there is only cows. Nice that you won the contest! All the brazilians think i´m related to c.s. lewis or jerry lewis. And i guess lewis is really hard for them to say because every single one pronounces it as levis. The e sounds like the e in levy. But its all good, the brazilians are so cool and are really friendly. We also have usa vs brazil pillow fights that we always dominate at. i have it all on video! haha. Poruguese is coming along better now that i can here the real accent and can pronounce things correctly. I´ll be here for about another month and then i´m off. ..I better go now, write back any questions you have. see you later,ate logo.
