Hey Mom!
So after 4 months in Sulacap (Madureira stake) I will be leaving the city of Rio for Niterói (Nee-tare-oy). I will be the leader Zone Leader there also and my new companion is from Argentina. I dont know him very well yet but I'm really excited. In my new zone, its really close to the city of Rio. Its on the other side of a bay of water. I hope that makes sense haha. I will have 4 groups of Elders (including me and my companion) and 2 groups of Sister missionaries. I'm really excited. My new area is called Mutuá (Moo-too-ah). I will be leaving for my new area tomorrow morning. Today I will visit a bunch of members in my ward to say goodbye. This was a great week to end my time here though. Saturday made 4 months here and we participated in a Mini MTC with youth from our stake. They walked around with us and we visited tons of people and they got to see a little bit of what missionary work is like. It was a great experience. Also, Saturday night was an activity at church and I sang a short solo in a song that the Relief Society sang. It was a great opportunity and the members really liked it. Sunday was our Ward Conference and we had 114 people in sacrament meeting. We ate at the ward building after church. I'm really gonna miss my companion. Hes one of the best companions I've had in the mission and I learned a lot with him. I'm doing well and trying to use more sunscreen. I still have a ton left though so please dont send me more. ........ Here in the mission I'm doing great. I will ask for a member to send some pics in an email because I dont have a ton of time right now. I've been trying to take more pictures lately. Next week I will have 1 year and 5 months in the mission and will be 22 years old. Its frightening how fast the time goes by.
Mom, I hope you're doing great. I recieved the box with all of the letters from everyone! Thank you and tell everyone thanks for the letters. If you have any questions about what I'm doing, that makes it a little easier to relate whats going on with me. I'm doing great though and studying a lot. I'm really trying to be more dilligent. I'm super excited for my new area, new zone, new responsibilities (with sister missionaries because I've never worked with them before) and for my birthday and general conference! I'll be really excited to hear about your thoughts on General Conference! I love you mommy and I cant wait to hear from you soon.
Jared
