For the life of me I can never remember how long I’ve been here. Apparently it’s been three and a half weeks but it feels like months!
This is probably going to be short because my companion is sick today. We had to go on exchanges so I could come email and do our grocery shopping. Also, I’m sick of complaining, because in all seriousness, this is freaking hard. Like really hard and I’m using way too much energy on trying to be happy. So today I don’t really feel up to writing anything of substance, I’m just going to tell you some fun facts.
Everyone thinks I’m from Spain. Not joking. Or from Brazil. like over ten people have asked if I’m a native Spanish speaker because apparently I speak Portuguese with a Spanish accent. Woops. I’m working on it. But I’ll take that over everyone just automatically knowing I’m American. Last night our zone leader said he saw my picture from my mission file and thought I was Mexican. Oh goodness. What’s happening to my identity? Ok sorry if I’m weird, I’m so tired.
Our house has this really bad smell to it. I think it’s because there have been Elders in that house for 18 years until now. Also because of that room that we aren’t allowed to go into because an old lady died in there and no one found her for a while. Portugal smells like urine and poop. There are stray dogs everywhere. But there’s at least a really cool view of a mountain with a castle on it in our area. We are going to try and go to the castle next week. Also, when people here find out we are from America, they start asking if we will marry them and take them to the United States. So hey, if the mission doesn’t work out, at least I can go find that guy down the street from us who was rolling a joint and asked me to marry him. Don’t worry mom, yes I’m joking. We eat bread all the time. Like all the time. it’s so delicious here. I feel like a fubeca which means slacker because I know I was thinking of things to talk about and now I’m just so tired I can’t do it.
We had zone conference this past Thursday and I got to see elder Tucci, Elder Platamone, Irma Davis, and Irma Tiney! It was so cool to see that many people from the MTC. Here is a shootout to my favorite sister and bestest friend ever who is having a birthday this week. I am sad I’m missing it and can't Skype you Katie. But I love you a ton and happy birthday from Portugal!
Ok I really have nothing else because this week was awful but I don’t want to be a whiner and I don’t really want to talk about it. Thank you Sister Keotting for the letter! I loved it! and I will be writing back!
I love you guys a ton and miss all of you! The Church is true! God loves us! Life is hard because we need to grow! Mostly the church is true though. Go read the Book of Mormon.
Love you!
chau!
