Hey! No i don´t get to call on mother´s day :( and im not sure if i´ll get to call when i go to fortaleza. I haven´t heard anything about it though. I can´t believe im gone in two weeks, time has literally flown by! K boys you all better get practicing the piano because i usually have to play at the firesides, devotionals and usually every sunday for sacrament meeting. And i was talking to my teacher Irmao petente and he said most likely if the church building has a piano the missionaries will play for church. So get playing! And thing is, for devotionals and firesides you get asked hours before and sometimes you have to do prelude where they give you an arrangement and you have to accompany someone that is singing. But it´s a great opportunity. THat is so exciting that Shay is expecting! Tell them congrats for me!!! DO they know what they´re having? I went to the temple today and I actually put Jennifer´s name on the prayer list, but is she doing better?? And thanks mom for sending those rings, that´s a great idea! Um i can´t really think of anything that you could send. If i knew exactly what the weather was going to be like in fortaleza i´d probably tell you to send a few different shirts. My clothes are fine here, but im worried it´s gonna be really hot once i get there. But we´ll see how things play out. Oh something you could maybe send, some contact solution. Its very expensive down here. One of the elders in my district had to buy some and it cost around 30 reais for one bottle. That´s awesome that stacey got baptized, i didn´t even know she was planning on getting baptized. Well we go out proselyting again this week. THis time we go down town sao paulo. SO it´s going to be way more busy! I´m excited though! :) That´s so cool Travis had training with Elder Ballard, and no we didn´t see elder Holland. We were hoping we woudl cuz he was in sao paulo, but he was too busy. Well i gotta send out some more letters, but i hope all is goign well! Oh and guess what i had for the past two days?!?! Cucumbers and vinegar!! They were so good! and today for lunch they had some delicious tomatoes!! i was in heaven :) and i was thinking, man back home they´re just barely starting to plant the garden. Tell joseph that i ate a lot of cucmbers for him ;) Anyways i better go, i love you guys! Tchau! Love Sister ariana salisbury
