Sorry that you haven't heard from me yet. Our p day is on friday and we skipped over the first one, so I never got to write you! I know mom's probably freaking out and most likely called to make sure I was still alive! Haha. I did send a card though but you're too busy having fun that you're not even home. It will be waiting for you when you get back!
Things are going way well here in the good old MTC! I'm loving it so far! My companion's name is Elder Anderson and he's from Texas so we don't get along at all. haha just kidding! He is way awesome! A little more on the quiet side but he's starting to open up and we get along way well! He's a way funny dude! Our district is really awesome as well! We have 6 Elders and 6 sisters and they are all bomb! All are going to Interlagos which is awesome! I room with the other 5 elders and have been having a blast with all of them. They are so funny and we have for sure had some good laughs! The next 5 weeks will be a fun experience for sure! My Portuguese is terrible but that's okay. it will come eventually! hopefully! haha! I'm terrible at all the pronunciations and stuff causeI'm used to spanish and portuguese hasall these weird chee and g sounds but it sounds way cooler than spanish when people actually speak it! Our professors are way tight! Sister wells is from utah and she served in Brazil and then we just got our second one yesterday, brother rodriguez, and he is way awesome! He was born in Brazil and grew up there until high school and then he moved to florida so he's fluent in english as well. and then he served his mission in Portugal, so he has both accents down pat! Hopefully I'll be able to learn a lot from him!
I've seen so many of my friends in here its the best! Elder Baker greeted me which was super fun! I've seen elder Jensen and sister harper around alot which has been fun! Elder Baker and my friend Elder Moeller from Byu are in my same zone which is fun! I Get to play bball with them during gym time which is great! Elder Phipps got here on wednesday and unfortunately he's not in our zone but he's in our building so i see him at night! So much fun to see so many people i know in here!! First day was rough. Way too many people greeting me and acting like they spoke their language perfectly, cause i had that stupid little orange dot on my name badge. I took it off after about an hour and just started greeting the new missionaries in spanish so they all thought i was super legit and experienced! haha.
I really enjoyed those pictures you sent me. They were all instagram worthy photos for sure! I got them last night and loved them. I miss you guys a ton but wouldn't choose to be anywhere else!! A lot of the brazil missionaries are getting reassigned cause visas are taking forever. So I might get reassigned, which would actually be pretty dope! One of the missionaries just got assigned to New York. That would be sick! I'll keep you updated! I'll send some pictures. Sorry this Email isn't super long but the computers keep freezing up here. Just know that I am doing great and that I love all of you! The church is so true and I can't wait to get out and serve the people wherever I am assigned!!
Love Elder Holmes
