Hi Mom!

I´m doing great! Bought my camera and I´ll get the pictures up as soon as I can. It´s super nice too! Thanks so much!

Our mission president´s dad passed away this week, so his wife and kids went back for the funeral. He stayed here with us, and he´s just as excited as ever. It really is an example of the faith he has and how great this Gospel really is. The fact that our families can be together forever is one of the reasons I left for a mission.

The Lord has the greatest blessings in store for those who put their whole heart into serving him. Love you!!!!!!!!!

Love, Eric




Hi Dad!

Do I really look skinny? I haven´t weighed myself in a while. That other girl ended up stopping with us, but we´re praying that she´ll get back on track. We have some other people who are super great! It´s really been going well here. I didn´t know baseball was popular here either; I just knew there were a ton of Japanese people here. Where I´m at, not so much, but close to São Paulo there´s a ton. There´s lots of sports here that are popular: volleyball, soccer, indoor soccer (futsal), capoeira, and lots of others. It´s interesting to see that really we aren´t that different, everyone in the world. We just focus on the differences really.

I got my camera, and it´s really nice.

Love you dad! Love you!!!!!!
Love, Eric
