Week Seven - Happy Birthday Elder Dohrman

Sent: Tuesday, September 21, 2010 10:08 AM


Hi Mom!


I got one of your letters and one from dad, so they´re coming through. And I got my package too! That was the best present you could´ve given me, seriously. If I get one of those every christmas and birthday I´ll be happy. It makes me so glad to have you guys standing behind me back at home. Things here are fine, we went to the Churrascaria today for lunch and it was so good! The people come by your table and cut meat off of these sword-like things and then they have a salad bar that you can go to, too. I had Wild Boar, lots of steaks and stuff and I even had Chicken Hearts! They were actually pretty good. It was a fun experience, and really cheap too! The only thing that wasn´t fantastic was the fact that you had to pay for drinks no matter what; even water´s not free. The food was so worth it though, we spent like an hour eating! I´ve really enjoyed my birthday so far, and we always have a devotional tuesday nights on top of going to the temple this morning, so my birthday´s going to be a fun and spiritually uplifting one. I love you mom. I miss you guys a lot, but now I´ve got lots of pictures to keep me company. Let me know what´s happening!

Hi dad!


My birthday so far´s been really great. I got your letter and I´m sending one out soon, so I´ll have some stuff to share that´s basically the same as what I email you. I got the book too; that was the best present you could give me. It makes me smile just thinking about everyone at home, and it makes me proud to be a part of the family. I don´t know if I´ll have a washer or not, I´m hoping so but I have no way of knowing. As far as my trainer goes, I´m not sure but one of my professors seems to think that I´m for sure going to get a Brasileiro for a companion. I wouldn´t mind, but that means I´m going to be teaching him a lot of english very very fast. We got a lot of new American elders this last week, and we heard that 30 more visas got cleared, so that´ll be good. I´m sure we´ll get some more Brasileiro/as this week too; they´re always coming in on time. I hope everything´s going well. I. I love you so much, and I´m so thankful that I have people around that love me.



Have a great week!!
