I am have a great time here and it is a great experiance so far. Can't imagine what it is like in the mission field.
In order to solve the question about how we are being taught portuguese: we go into a classroom for 6 hours a day and have a teacher who only will speak portuguese for the most part teach us about vocab and other things he thinks are neccissary. During that time we will go and teach the teachers who are pretending to be investigatiors compeletly in portuguese. It it pretty hard since we dont speak the language really but it is fun. We have a couple more hours during the day to do personal language study which is very benifical.
We have had a great week this week. We had Elder Nelson come and speak to us on Tuesday which was pretty cool. It turns out he has a granddaughter that goes here.
My companion and I had to teach a lesson to our district on Sunday and the Branch president was there and it went incredibly well. It has just been a good week for studying and focusing on the task at hand
Thank you for the letters you have been sending, they are very fun to recieve. Sorry about not sending letters out. There is very little time to do things like that around here. I have yet to send mail to anyone but you and David. Hopefully i will be able to send some mail out to some other people today.
Cool Story, There is a Elder Thomas in my district whose dentist is apparently Alan Timmons which i thought was pretty cool.
If i was to have done one thing before i came out here more it would definatly be to know The Book of Mormon inside and out. It always it the topic of discussion around here and it definatly is nice to know what you are talking about.
Tell Dan and Sarah that MTC is a little different in how we do things that the field. We have gym every day so keep that in mind and bring lots of shorts and shirts. Also to bring pants for service if they already are not doing that.
The MTC has been great but it seems like we have been here forever yet no time at all due to the fact we don't know much portuguese yet. Every day seems like forever. The day before seems like a week ago. However this makes it nice to get lots of things done during this time.
Hope you are having fun out there. David pretty much said that he would hook me up with food which i thought was nice.
Have a great Week
Elder Kramer
