Hey everyone. Here's my update from
weeks 2 and 3. A lot has happened here so far! I am significantly less fond of
the food now than when i first got here, that's for sure. I've resorted to
eating cereal for half of my meals! It also isn't very nice to the stomach. The
orange juice here is fine, anything you have heard otherwise is a lie! It's the
food that makes people sick, not the orange juice like everyone blames it on.
Poor orange juices was falsely accused. :( I've gotten to the point in the
Portuguese language where i'm accidentally throwing in Portuguese words when
i'm speaking English, it's weird. The weirdest thing to think about so far is
the fact that i just started my 4th week here yesterday, it feels like i have
been here for 1 really long week, not 4 fast weeks. We have only had 1 person
get their visa and go to the Brazil MTC in our own zone. He wrote a letter and
said he hates it. The missionaries there keep to themselves and it feels like a
juvenile detention center. The only positive thing he said was that the food
tastes like it came directly from heaven. That makes me glad to be here in
Provo. It looks like i probably won't get my visa before i get out of here so i
will most likely be temporarily reassigned which i am crazy excited for. It's
like being allowed to serve two missions. My reassignment will be to somewhere
in the US so i'm excited to go anywhere the lord wants me to go(as long as it's
not Seattle Washington mission, that's too close to home). Everyone always says
that you will get sent to the one place where all the people are the exact
opposite as your personality. I used to think that i didn't have an opposite
until i got here, i realized my opposite is southern. I'm very different than
people from the south! But that would be cool too i guess! My companions are so
incredibly different from me it's amazing we can even stand each other let
alone get along! One is from North Carolina (He's southern) and the other one
is from Mcallen Texas(probably spelt wrong) which is pretty much Mexico. I'm
learning a ton about the Gospel of Christ and about his restored church. It's
crazy that i've been a member of the LDS church my whole life and I still learn
something i never knew each day. I LOVE IT!!!! Well im running out of time but
i covered pretty much everything i had to cover! I Will send another update
next week(hopefully). Everyone write me! tyler.byron@myldsmail.net
