Second Week

heyyy everyone,
How is every body? I'm really sorry that i can't make individual emails. I just don't have the time. This week has been a little tougher. I have been sick a little bit. I think its my body getting use to the food. I am sure I will adjust. But I will say that I loved getting those letters on Monday. They really lifted me up. I loved conference it was amazing. The talks hit me harder then ever before. It is probably because I actually really listened.  It just seemed that some of them said things that I needed to hear at that time. I could really feel the spirit. about the lingaul that's how they say it here in brasil anyway. It has been tough this week it just doesn't seem like I'm getting it. But I know that I will. On a better note we went to the Sao Paulo temple today, it was amazing. It was sooo beautiful. The celestial room was, I can't even put into words. But what really caught my eye was the people you would see living in these homes that they made themselves and it looked so dirty and had no way of cleaning and had no clean water as i drove by heading to the temple i just felt so sad and wanted to do anything i could to help them and it really humbled me and made me realize how blessed i truly am. So I just want you to keep the people of brasil in your prays and for you guys to make sure sure to give thanks for the simple things that we enjoy. I LOVE YOU ALL SOOO VERY MUCH NATE THANKS FOR KEEPING ME POSTED. I'M THE SPORTS GUY DOWN HERE NOW CUZ I KNOW EVERY THING. ITS AWESOME  LOVE YOU GUYS HOPE YOU GUYS ARE DOING WELL KNOW THAT I PRAY FOR YOU DAILY.
LOVE ELDER POTTS
