Week 7

I bought shoes last week. I had to or else I wouldn´t have bought them. I also gave a pair of tennis shoes away to one of our Brazilian roommates cause she didn´t have a pair of tennis. She was so excited!

Patrick e-mailed me and said that you talked to him on facebook and he thought it was funny that you were on facebook. You should call him sometimes and invite him to visit you because he loves you all and he is having a hard time right now. I don´t really know what is going on, but he said that he´s having a rough time.

This week things were fine. We played some games in our districts to help us not give up and just to help keep us awake. One of the our teacher calls "Find the Elect" so the game is we have to find him. But any people that we come in contact with before we find him we have to do a street contact with them. It is really fun! There really wasn´t much going on this week at all. I have to play the flute for prelude tomorrow for the whole CTM devotional. I am kinda nervous, but it´ll be good, I just found out two days ago so I have been trying to practice. I hope I get your letters soon. Oh, I have a great story about how awesome my district is: last week they looked in the mailbox and there was a huge stack of letters so everyone was really excited, I knew I wouldn´t get one from you because you told me you were sending it last week, so I was just normal. Everyone else didn´t know that, though. So, everyone got at least 3 letters and they were all saying outloud every time our district leader got to the next letter "Sister Rhule, come on, let there be one for Sister Rhule." I knew there wouldn´t be, and when they got to the last letter and none were for me everyone felt bad so they all tried giving me their letters, some elders gave me leaves, and it was just funny. Then when we got up to our classroom later that day they had written me a letter and put candy in the envelope cause they felt bad. It was so cute. I love my district. Don´t feel bad that I haven´t received a letter from you, it´s totally understandable. Anyway, I have to go, but I love you and tell everyone I say hello!

Love,

Week 6

Todo vai bem! Today we took district pictures. I printed some and they are going to be sent in the mail today along with a letter for Kaven and Megan and a letter for Eric and I was going to send a letter to Matt and Heather and Kenyon but I forgot it in our classroom and the door is locked and only our district leader has the key. I´ll just have to send it to them next week. Tell Heather she is slacking on writing to me. She has way more time than I do and tell Sarah she has to write to me too!

This week was good. I felt so much better two days after the dr gave me that medicine and I haven´t felt sick again, so that´s good! My teacher just came in and he said to send you and dad a big hug for him. He is way cool. My companion cut my hair last night. I know you don´t like it short, but I was just tired of it so I had to get it cut. I think she did a really good job.

I leave the CTM on September 29th - only 27 more days! Time has just flown by. Can you believe I only have 17 months left!?! And I was talking to some of the sisters here and they said that it is possible I could get sent home in December of next year so that I can make it back in time for Winter Semester in January. That would be too much of a shock I think to go from Summer time in Brazil to wintertime in Utah!!! I don´t know though, it is still just a slight possibility.

Anyway, I wrote you a letter today too so that will be going in the mail and I am going to get going so I can write a few more e-mails! I love you a ton and appreciate all that you do for me and have done for me! You are the greatest and I tell everyone everyday!

Love you lots and lots and lots!

Oh, and tell all the sisters in the branch I love them and miss them and think about them a lot!

week 4 letter

I just want to tell you that I am so happy everytime I get an e-mail in Spanish cause it helps me remember. It does take me a little bit longer to read it because I keep getting mixed up between Spanish and Portuguese but hopefully that clears up. I got the package Hiram sent with the cards from the sisters. I love the books and tell all the hermanas gracias. I want to send each of them letters but I am just going to send them to you then you can hand them to the ladies cause it saves me on postage and I don´t know anyone´s addresses.
I met a long lost family member the other day! Elder Fonseca! Apparently there are a lot of people with the last name Fonseca in Brazil, and this elder said that his grandparents were actually born in Argentina! Crazy, huh?
My companion and I went walking last week for p-day and I realized my black shoes might be really a bad idea. I was wondering if you could check online if you can find these shoes, they are Dansko and the style is Mandolin. One of my sister friends here has them and they are way cute, just check how much they are. I was also wondering if you could send me some more ---Maybelline - SuperStay Silky Foundation--- shade is Medium #2. If you can that would be great, if not, that´s ok too.
I started getting sick last Saturday. I went to the doctor here at the CTM today and he said I have an infection in my throat so he gave me meds. I also told him that my asthma has been acting up a lot and my inhaler isn´t doing anything for it but when he checked my breathing he said I was fine. Who knows!
We took pictures at the temple today, so you should be getting one of those sent to your e-mail soon, not by me though cause it wasn´t me that took the pictures. My companion and I are going to be taking pictures today and printing them to send to you so you should be getting them in about a week and a half!
I got Felipe´s e-mail, just tell them every time you talk to them that I think of them all the time! I have to get going because I don´t have much time, but I love you and I totally remembered about your anniversary! I actually was talking to another elder about it today and about Megan´s birthday next week!
I love you and I am so grateful I decided to listen to the spirit when he told me that I needed to come on a mission! I know that I am just one of very many people that will be blessed by my decision! I know this church is true and I am so excited to preach to the people in Brazil the most important message they will hear in their whole lives!

Love you,
Sister Jennifer Nayeli Rhule

HAPPY ANNIVERSARY! PARABENS! (CONGRATULATIONS!)
