what? you mean i´m not black? oh yeah I forget sometimes. Anyways I guess labor day is really about having babies since you were talking about them so much. I don´t think any of the missionaries follow the utes. I think my comp is a byu fan and a lot of the missionaries here went to byu before the mission so probably not. That´s sad about Brewsters. I hope Ryan does ok with that while being gone. And I think you forget that nobody but America cares about American football. Yay that you have at least a temp job. Are you looking for work at other places as well? That´s fun about elder Gomes. Did you invite him to dinner or is he not technically in our area? Missionaries always like it when they don´t have to cook for themselves. Unless you receive food from a crazy investigator and you literally fear for your life as your eating the food that she randomly brought in to the room. Never think i´ve been so scared to eat in my life. but that was a long time ago. Beginning of second transfer i think. Speaking of transfers did you know that tyler is almost coming home. Seems like he´s been gone forever. Anyways no I haven't got your other package yet. And yes (like i´ve said several times before) you can buy an ipod and I can plug it into my ihome. any ipod. that works. and do you still have my list for the music i requested? And the other things I thought of that you can put on there like Joseph and the technicolored dream coat and music man? hope so. Other missionaries have ipods as well. Some have mp3s and speakers, some people have headphones, some people need to mooche off other people and such and such. and people just buy clothes here. Theres hundreds of Chinese stores that all have the exact same things (literally theres no difference) or they can go to the sucapira which is essentially a gigantic garage sale that goes on every day in the same place. A lot of people work there actually. Well anyways we had a zone activity today and we went and hiked some mountains between assomada and tarafal and were ridiculously tired and a little sunburn. and I didn´t charge my camera before so we don´t have many pictures but that's ok cause it was really foggy and not much to take pictures of when you can´t see much. Well I think that´s all for this week so tchou! love you all. Don´t drink the unfiltered water.
