Hi Mom!
Happy Mother´s Day! I forgot to tell you that yesterday.
The call was great, huh? But so short! I can´t believe that was the last one, but like you said, we´ve still got a lot to do before the end. This week was pretty rough for finding people, and knowing we had the call made it a little hard to focus, but we still found some great people who are progressing really well. One couple is doing great, but they need to get married and I´m not sure how they feel about that. We´re going to keep focusing on that and work to make sure that they get the chance to partake in all of the blessings of the gospel.

We climbed the hill in Matinhos again today, and I made it up in 17 minutes! I was pretty proud of myself, seeing as the first time I think it took me like a half an hour to make it. Going down was pretty hard because it had rained last night and it was muddy, but I didn´t fall and I didn´t get my white shorts dirty:) Pretty good huh?
Here it´s starting to get cold, but it´s way worse in Curitiba; yesterday it got down to freezing! I´m glad I´ll be leaving winter here to summer there. I think I´m going to suffer too if I go back to Curitiba next transfer, because July´s the worst part of winter. But either way, it´ll be good; I´m curious to see what´ll happen but I´m going to focus on this transfer for now.
I love you guys and I´m so grateful for everything you do for me and for Nick. I hope you guys are being blessed as richly as I am! Have a great week Mom and let me know what I can do to help! Love you mom!!!!!!!!!!
Love, Eric
Hi Dad,
It was great talking to you guys yesterday, it seemed like forever that we´d seen each other, and the next time will be for real! But I´m not thinking about that right now, we´ve got lots of work to do here. We found some great people last week, but they couldn´t come to church because of mother´s day. This week, though, things are going to start picking up again, I can feel it. Some of the areas that were a little slower last transfer are getting better, and we´re working to keep the momentum going with everybody. It´s not easy, but we have to work that way, because we don´t have a lot of areas. With big zones, it´s easier to baptize a lot because you have areas that can pick up the slack, but when there aren´t a lot you´ve got to keep going with all of them at once. We´ve been doing well so far, but we need to work really hard in these next two weeks if we want to have a good month.
Nick goes into the field today! How crazy is that? I´m really proud of him though and I know that you guys helped him a lot. I´m sure he´s going to do great.
Congratulations on your first season as head coach dad! You did incredibly I´m sure, and I know that you´re only going to keep improving with time. Are you going to do camps or anything this summer?
We climbed the hill again in Matinhos, and I got up there pretty fast this time! It was fun, but I´m pretty sure I´m going to be wiped out by the end of today. We´ll be working no matter what happens, though, so I´ve gotta man up and get ready! But I love you dad and I´m really grateful for everything you guys do for me. I can feel the support you give us, and it makes all of the difference in the world. The days when my back hurts, I´m tired and I feel like my legs can´t carry me any farther, I know it´s you guys that are giving me the strength to take the next step. Have a great week dad, I love you!!!!!!!!!
Love, Eric
