Leaving for Brazil!!!!




December 13, 2010

Hey Mom,
My week has been good. I baptized two more people haha i'm on fire! ;) but really this area is just really good. I'm looking forward to the Christmas cards! I love hearing about what's going on. It's ok about the Christmas tree haha i'll try to get a picture of me and Santa to you soon. I always hated post offices anyways haha people there are postal. That's awesome that everything went good for you with subbing. Just remember that kids are punks and if they don't want to listen just send them to the dean's and tell the teacher the next day haha! The days are like this.. wake up, study the scriptures and language, and eat breakfast, shower, and go to lunch at a member's house. then we come home, shower again, and rest for a bit. Then go back out till 8:30 - 9 then return home, eat dinner, and chill. Shower as well!! haha the people here are amazing and really relaxed. everyone is willing to help and none of them will slam the door haha!! One thing that's funny is the house doors are always open but if they don't want to talk they just say "No, I don't wanna talk to you" or "go away" but normally they're all awesome. The roaches haven't been a problem, but the ants are driving me insane!! I hate them!! haha Tell Daniel to keep up the good work, and I hope everything goes well for you!
love you mom you're the best!!!

Dear Family,

Yeah I'm still with the same comp and I love it!!! He's awesome byt he leaves for home the 16th. I already know my next companion. He's Brazilian, black, and doesn't speak English haha soooo this will be interesting. hah Mom... why not the hooker for the Santa picture??? Everything is good. My health and body and everything is still good. My legs are a bit tired from walking the hill so much, but what can ya do. That's awesoem that Daniel went 2-1. Could you put a film of him wrestling on the SD card too? I would like that to see him wrestle and how he's doing.

first off... ALISA U CANT HAVE ANY BOYFRIENDS TILL yoUR AT LEAST 16 AANNNDD NOT TILL AFTER I'VE TALKED TO THEM!!! IF ANYONE IS GOING TO BE MY LITTLE SISTER'S BOYFRIEND I NEED TO APPROVE THEM FIRST. yes i'm stoked to talk to you on Christmas and i hope that everything will work out so i can talk to u for a long time ;) i just hope i can talk in english. i was talking to another American missionary and we both were saying Portuguese words for "ingles" haha it was pretty funny when i realized it. You DOG!!!! I miss bass pro shop soooo much!!! I want to hold a gun and shoot one sooo bad haaahahahaaahahahaha it sucks so much not being able to. How ever I got to see a military squad take down a bank with some bad people inside haha it was sick. They had automatic m16's, pistol grip shotguns, and 45 magnums hahha i was soo jazzed!!!! haha it was sooo freakin' cool. that's cool that it played out good for Jake with Santa. Oh so the other elders got chased by a dog hahah it was going to eat them they said but they out ran it but now every time we pass a dog the one elder is shell shocked and is terrified of them even if its a little wiener dog haha. Tell Jake to quit dancing like he's a girl! haha teach him how to dance that'd be hilarious. If you don't then i'll teach him how to and dirty dance haha that's an awesome dance style right there haha jk jk. Give Daniel my email address and tell him to email me. and yes Heather you are the best big/little sister ever ;)

Dear Mommy,

I did get the package from Betsi and the treats were all good. Because it's so humid here they stayed moist. The cookies were perfect and tasted soooo good! There's tons of fresh fruit drinks here so it works. and i'm doing good. You know me i'm just always hungry haha!

Yea I saw grandpa's yard right before I left and I thought that I should just take a bomb to it and gasoline. That's freakin awesome Heather stuck the landing when she fell through the roof!! haha I probably would have just landed on my back. That's how I always fall haha more brains then brawn. Tell Daniel that i'm so proud of him!!! I got fourth at newcomers but it was my second year of wrestling!! So he's already off to a great start. If he keeps it up he can go varsity and get a white letter for four years of a varsity sport. Tell him to work hard for it and he will work wonders. Watch your weight Daniel and always work on your cardio. Run your heart out till its screaming... then run some more. That's the only way to get your cardio better.

OK so stories. Well I baptized two people in my 1st four days and I had another one this last Sunday the 26th I think... I've made a huge rocket using a 5 gallon water jug and alcohol and the flame that spat out was soooo huge it burned the hairs off of my left arm and singed my eyelashes. We wont be doing that again. I was almost attacked by a dog but the owner ran out and saved me and my companion. The roaches here are two inches wide and about the length of my middle finger so 3 or 4 inches long. On average. Ummm oh we had a person recieve an answer to his prayer about the church. In a dream he saw a person in white clothes and he was glowing!! and he told him the church is true and he needs to join it. Sweet huh?! ummm oh we had a BBQ at our house to celebrate the baptism and we ate ...meat i think/hope... and drank Pepsi and guarana and talked all night long. ;)

ok I'll try to find a Santa to take a picture with but it might end up being a fake Santa. like a plastic one that is electronic and sings and dances. haha sorry it's either that or I can ask one of the Brazilian chicks at the hooker corner to put on a Santa hat and a bra and take a picture with me ;) haha love u mom!!

I know no matter what you will do good in your school stuff. I love you!!!
Love,
Elder Ludwig
