well hey there thanks it was a good one. and yes i like when you talk about the family its cool to know whats been going on lately and i dont get homesick im pretty used to it by now. haha but sounds good youve been going to disneyland a lot lately thats fun. that really stinks my package hasnt arrived yet. i sent it to the house so hopefully one of these days.

but im doing better on my sore throat. i went down again and im going back up. my comp almost died this week though he was really bad like fever and sore throat maybe strep. he coughed up a little blood. we went to the doctor and got him some pills and stuff. so unfortunately we didnt do all that much work this week and it was his last week as a missionary so i feel bad for him. but he said he hasnt been sick in years so it finally caught up and it was angry. haha but hes doing a lot better now.

so ya the first couple of days this week we didnt really do anything. we had district meeting and it went really well. then we had some cake and icecream cuz its irma mortensens bday so that was fun. we sang to her in the mall. wed and thursday we didnt do anything really cuz that was when i got pretty bad to so we slept irma waltons orders plus it was rainy and she didnt really want us going outside. so that really stunk.

then on friday we had our interviews with president and it was finally decided that elder santos is going home this thursday. so he is a bit sad. he was wanting to extend another transfer but he has some family troubles none of them are members and it is just better if you goes home. so i had my interview and im like 99 percent sure that i will be training a new elder. so that should be fun. everyone is dropping hints. so im really excited. and as for the work this week we were still able to get barbosa who is serifos cousin to come to church and joaquin. so that was really cool and they seem to be doing really good and enjoying it. im really excited about joaquin he basically said he already believes in everyhting. rosabella went to church as well but we werent able to teach her this week. then after church we had lunch and dinner that night at members houses because santos is leaving. it was pretty fun and some good food.

we have a dinner appointment every night until thursday so that should be good and ill probably gain a couple of pounds haha. but ya other than that nothing really happened this week cuz of the sickness. sorry this is a little short but thats everything. today for pday we came up here to guimaraes to go bowling with our district it should be really fun. get some lunch and hang out with everybody. it will be a lot different next week with my new kid. i sure hope hes cool. haha but ya we will see what i get this week. last week we went bowling and that was my first time since i was in vila real but it got 121 which isnt terrible but its not my best. so we will see i just have to maintain my composure. haha

but i love you mama and thanks so much for everything you do. and im good with meds i still have the eccansia and ive been eating oranges and things of that nature along with candy from my package so i should be good. haha but you guys have a great week and i hope everything goes wonderful. i love you all and if you need anything im right here.

love
elder abreu
