Muito Bem everyone! 2nd week here in the MTC and things have been a little hectic but so far everything is going fine. The language is probably the hardest thing ever! haha I guess its said to be the 5th most hardest language ever or something. So far my companion and I have had to teach 4 investigators and so now we have probably taugh 8 lessons...all in Portuguese! The investigator we taught a few days ago said yes to baptism. They’re not suppose to do that because they’re actually going to be our teachers after I guess but he said that the spirit in there was so strong that he couldn't say no. So that was a huge blessing! Prayers work everyone I promise haha.  I love and miss everyone. I hope all of you are doing well. I’ll be sure to tell you a little more next week but I have to rush this email because of time. Keep e-mailing please!

Love, Elder Thomas

Tudo Bem everyone! My 1st week here in the Provo MTC and everything is great here. The language is tough and my teacher doesnt speak a bit of English but I guess that’s how you learn! So far we have already taught 4 lessons in Portuguese to an investigator so that was fun.

To all my friends that told me there was a cream soda tree....I hate you. :) haha There’s so many rumors that get passed around about the MTC and none of them are true!! Haha I knew it. The food here is seriouly so good. It’s all you can eat too so I guess you could say I’ve gained a few pounds which I personally didn’t would be possible. My companion is a character haha! I love him and he has some of the funniest stories I’ve ever heard. Days here literally feel like weeks. It feels like forever here, especially because I’ll be in here for another 6 weeks! I’m glad I’m here and I’m glad I’ve got to experience everything I’ve experienced so far. Its pretty cool to see the changes in yourself even though it’s only been a few days. I’ll be sure to tell you guys more next week! Eu amo voces! Tchau. 

Love Elder Thomas
