E ai Pai!   Another great week here in good ol´ Brazil. I wasnt robbed so thats a good thing right? haha. Man, first day of summer back home... Good times in the summer... Truncky!!! But it has actually been super nice here lately. Next month will be the coldest and then the days will start to get warmer and longer too. It gets dark about 5:30 right now so it makes the work a little more dangerous at night, but we are smart about where we go during the night. Dont worry. I hear the sun is still up here until 8:30 in the summer so that will be super good for the work. I will just end with a winter here, and then head straight into winter there when i get home. Man, lots of winters to pass in 2 years... Im super happy gary is doing good. Mom said that you have been looking at getting a friend for gary. Man you should wait until I get home and then get a puppy! haha. I will teach it tricks in portuguese. So is it still raining a lot?? It rains quite a bit here. Today we went to the zoo (for free) and it rained on us and we got soaked. It mists here a ton too, more often than rain. But this week was good! We had yet another baptism!! We are baptising every week here. We have 2 more baptisms this weekend, and that will make 3 weeks in a row of baptisms. The members are giving us a lot of refferals, which is helping a lot. This week we stayed in the house for 2 days because my comp was sick. I picked up his sickness but its not too bad and wont keep me from doing the work! I just used the time indoors to eat, and study pretty much ha it was boring. We had activities this week too with the branch, and we brought investigators. Every week we have soccer with the branch, and we bring investigators and they love it. Yesterday we did a service project for this family that lives in the jungle part of our area. Its super long from the city part, and up in the mountains with jungle. There are monkeys and venomos snakes in this area! Its way cool. This sunday we will give talks in sac meeting (about 20 min long) so i have to prepare for that. But yeah things here are going great, and we´re just preparing for winter to come next month! Tecnically its already here, but it hasnt been too bad so far. But i love you! Keep up the good work! I hope your fathers day was super good! 
Love, Matt
