Dear mom,
This past week has been kinda CRAZY! I have a new companion now whose name is Elder McGill. He´s from Utah so it’s kinda nice to be able to speak English again. But he is an awesome missionary! I’m gonna learn so much from him.
Also this week I got sick and there was blood in the vomit and had to go the hospital in Campinas but I’m better now so don’t worry about it. They plugged me into an IV and it was all really confusing cause I haven’t studied words in Portuguese that have to do with being sick and stuff and I thought someone would speak English in a hospital but no one did. Haha but they gave me a prescription and I got better. The doctor on the mission thinks that it’s just that my throat ripped a little because I was throwing up too hard I guess. But everything is good now I think it was just food poisoning. So don’t worry.
But me and Elder McGill are gonna destroy this area! We've already started finding lots of people who are very good. And on Monday we tracked into an English school and we’re going back next Monday to teach at it and meet people who will want to learn about the church. It’s gonna be awesome!
Sounds like everything is going well at home. The house is gonna be so different when I get home! And that’s too bad that Maddi’s graduation wasn’t as cool as mine haha :P
So on Monday we had a miracle. Our lunch had fallen through so we were gonna have to spend the little bit of money we had to buy some so we went out to find a restaurant and we went in one that was near our house and they were all excited to see us there cause I guess other missionaries had already made friends with them before so we loaded up our to go dish and it was packed full and the total value of our meals together was R$18 and when we went to pay they said that someone paid for us and they couldn’t tell us who! It was literally manna from heaven! Haha
Anyway I gotta go now but I love you guys and always keep you in my prayers.
Love,
Elder Raleigh
