Ya, it would be best to start Daniel on JV (wrestling) but if he gets varsity it will be a humbling experience and he will learn a lot more and a lot better than I did because he will see what he has to do. The coach knows what to do though. He’s good at what he does. I know Daniel will enjoy it a lot.
Hi!
Is it bad that I think its funny they were freaking out?? Ha! ha! It seems like the past two weeks have been the weeks of fire! Ha ha! Its good that dad went over the fire lesson ;) It is a necessity.
That sucks that Heather didn't get the job. She was looking forward to it. Well I guess she will just have to get what she can get, but its good she's not shopping as much! ;))
Tell dad to take it easy!! He knows his back hurts so tell him I said, "don't do anything heavy lifting." It's not good for him to be doing that. I want a dad when I get back not a veggie ;) tell him to see the chiropractor and that's an order. I have the same keys as an apostle so I can order him on that level! ha ha! ;)
oh tell Bishop to get the Brazilian national anthem and play it on piano. Mom you too. That song is CRAZZZZYYYYY!!!! I always loved it when my professor canceled class! Ha ha! It's nice to get a break. You catch up on all your work its good not to procrastinate! ha ha.
I'm glad u got the S.D. card. Were the two files there? The regular pictures and the file with the pictures?? That sounds like a plan. Just let everyone know where they are.
We had four Elders in the house... the house isn't that big though but its nice. Smaller than the first house on el Tovar. Right now it’s just my comp and me but we will have two more after transfers. We have a stove oven fridge sink shower electricity all the regular stuff a house has except the water isn't drinkable. We have mineral water in a jug that we drink though so that's good.
I miss you too mom and no... You are amazing for raising me. All the hard times I put you through and all that crap. Thank you for helping me become who I am. You did an awesome job. ;) I love u mommy. ;) Look forward to the Halloween pics ;)
I love u.
Greg

Mom,
Yah. I'm feeling better and its going good. it was pretty rough for the few days but I still did the work and everything it was just harder. the headache didn't help anything but oh well. me and my comp are doing every well and we get along great. We have a couple of families but nothing great. We had 6 baptisms marked for yesterday, Sunday, but they fell through... all of them. Everyone here in my area is really welcoming but they don't really accept everything. We usually eat at a members house for lunch, but other than that, it's water mix milk and chocolate and crackers. For dinner, rice or noodles and hot dog and juice. No. no need to send spices. they got some stuff here.
Dad-yah true that. Kids will always be kids. That's good that your doing more family stuff. Heather told me about psych and your psych water ;) That's an awesome show. That would of sucked to be cut in line. why did she take two tacos?!?! One old broad one taco!!! That should be law especially when she cuts. Mom congrats on your basket and that still would of sucked cause i don't like red vines.
(Steve told Greg about a kid in his auto 2 class who was wearing super long pants. He was using the cutting torch. He stepped on the hot metal and caught his pants on fire a little!! I looked over and saw he was on fire. He started kicking his foot with the other foot to put it out but couldn't, so he just dropped to the ground and started rolling and flopping around! It was so funny! I got the hose and put it out. The kid didn't say anything, but everyone was laughing. It was so funny!")
hahahahahah i wish i could of seen that!!!! that would of been hilarious!!!!!!!! when i get the other card back ill send this one so u can see the stuff we have done! haha! ;) thats good though to clean out gpa's garage. It needs it. love you dad.
That's awesome your doing more stuff with Daniel and just keep making him do it. It's good for him. mmmmm turkey and stuffing and potatos and PIE!!!! I miss American food!!! the food here is good but not great.. i found a chicken liver and a huge piece of skin in my beans... i almost ate the liver mom... nasty..
My supplies are still good and everything is good shoes n´all. let me know when u get the sd card i hope it gets there soon it has a regular file on it too of pictures with the pics i took so be careful please. and i haven't gotten the box yet so idk. ill let u know when i do. OK. I'll look out for your package and let you know as well, when i get it. And I have a calling card still and I'll let u know when the time gets closer. I love u too, mom and I can't wait to get home and see you again. love you. bye.

mom and dad ;)
I've been doing great here in sao miguel maceio.
My companion is Elder michael and he is awesome. he has the spirit with him very strongly. I've been sleeping pretty good besides the masquitoes I'll take pictures of all the big bugs I see just for you guys.
We have been super busy and visiting with the members. we have been eating rice and beans and tons of crackers. my favorite juice is mango. its sooo rich in flavor I've been teaching tons of ppl and my portuguese is doing alot better We have to walk everywhere and theres a huge hill but its good excercise. The weather is hot and humid but the beach when i see it is beautiful
I miss eating steak and hamburgers and have been craving real meat and pizza. We have i think 4 more investigators. They seem to be interessted oh and i baptized the 2 converts in my first week and it was amazing!!! i did it in portugues When my companion and I get done with everything for the day we go back home shower and relax under a fan.
if i have to pay too much i probably wont get the package. but i do love u. ;)))
Love, Elder Ludwig

Elder Jordan Stenquist, has been with Greg since they went into the Provo MTC in August. They got their visas at the same time and were companions in the CTM with Sister Corbin. Now that they are in the field, Jordan's e-mail said that they are both living in the same place with their new companions. Greg is in Sao Miguel dos Campos. In Jordan's e-mail he said that he was in Sao Miguel which was about 1 hour from Maceio.
Here are some pictures of Elder Ludwig and Elder Stenquist stolen from Elder Stenquist's blog.

Hey, Mommy!
I love and miss you sooo much. I got to Brazil, and my comp is Brazillian and doesn't know English... Yaayyy!
I'll learn a lot, but it is hard. Tell Daniel not to do stupid crap with the other scouts. Please don't make me start thinking that just cause I left, you can be a ditz. I love you, but don't do stupid stuff with them. Only me when I get back. Oooh, and take seminary seriously. I didn't and I am paying for it now.
Jacob, how is school? are you doing good?? Are you bigger than me yet??
Alisa, are you winning the hearts of all the boys?? Don't let them kiss you though. It's not worth it. ;)
Heather and Mom... That's awesome that you're schoolin' all the old broads ;) Way to go Mom!!
Pretty soon you'll be schoolin' me.
Dad, how are the kids there at school?? Better or worse than last year. I miss working on cars... we can't touch them here. I saw someone working on their motorcycle and when I get back, I want to learn how to drive and work on them.
Mom, the roaches here are HUGE!!! I'm going to send my SD card next week.
I baptized two Brazillian girls already!!! It was soo awesome. I love it here.
The kids all make fun of me and my accent but whatever ;) it doesn't bother me.
I'm learning more and more every day. It's so cool.
oh and on the sd card there's a file my mtc teacher loaded on with all the class pics
be careful when u get it please!
I love u and hope everyone is doing well.
love u bye!

Forwarded email from Elder McKnight (who is in our stake as well serving in Maceio, Brazil.)
"Elder Ludwig went to São Miguel dos Campos, a former area of mine with a blessed hill. He will be working in the part on top of the hill I think, so he might meet a person I helped baptize. Its a good area, I loved it there. His trainer is Elder Mikaell (Brazilian), who is a great missionary. I really doubt we could be companions because it's not common to have 2 Americans together, and if so generally only on your early transfers and I´ll be here in the office for probably 2 more transfers. But who knows, everything is possible. He seems like a good guy."
