Whattup coitados,  These past few weeks have been a blur. And by a blur, I mean I haven't taken notes so I'm not sure what to write about. Here's some highlights off the top of my head: some highlights off the top of my head -we ate lunch with our stake president and his wife was hilarious, she told us we were going to hell haha -the road cats have been getting nicer and letting me pet them -we had a noite familiar (family home evening) with one of the cool members in our ward and she made us homemade ice-cream it was really good -we had p night with the other elders and there were these people having a crazy party in the house beneath ours so we danced up in our apartment and ordered three pizzas and absolutely nothing else wacky or unusual happened -we got like 20 member visits marked for this week due to some clever form stuff we passed around on sunday Alright this email sucks but I wanted to let yall know I'm still alive and goin strong and I'm pretty sure if I...

Whattup morioh choh radio,  So I'm officially in my 4th area, and I'm also simaltaneously in my like 4th character arc of my mission. We love the mish  This area is dope, there are some pretty cool members here. Unfortunately the other elders left us n o t h i n g. I guess president likes to put me into dead areas. We're still having trouble finding people to teach though kind of depressing tbh, but a member who is leaving on her mission soon did invite us to her going away part and she was like "elders I'm gonna invite all my non member friends and I want you to get to know them all and also teach a lesson from PMG as the spiritual thought" so hopefully things get spicy this week and we get some people to church.  But in terms of emails... we have no emails. How far I've fallen. I used to be unable to go more than a week without writing a college length essay incorporating general authority quotes and Cradle metaphors, and now... Yeah, writing is hard, bu...

Whattup churrasco sticks, I'm alive! I got transfered to Jardim Roberto B! I'm in the same ward as my CTM DL Elder Eaton and my comp is Elder Bawden! He's cool and Elder Eaton is also cool even though he didn't even write about me in his email which is OK I'm totally not offended or mad at him!!! I have a real email in store that tells the story of how I got the plague and almost died but I am lazy again this week actually we just had a freaking awesome zone churrasco p day today so it didn't even give time to write anything. Anywho love you all! Spiritual thought: Joseph Smith is cool God is Good,  Elder Ebbert

One Last Time

Whattup guys, Well. I never thought it was gonna happen this way. But, after consulting a lot with my mission president, parents, and with the Lord, we've decided that the best thing for me to do is to return home early.  Unfortunately, I've been hounded by a couple medical issues these last few months. It's getting to the point where I can't really work; so we figured better that I serve the Lord at home than weighing down my comp here in Interlagos.  It's been a crazy ride out here on the mission field, and such an incredible experience. Even though I've been neglecting the emails recently, I thank you all for the responses and encouragement you gave me.  I want to leave you all with my testimony. My experience on my mission has truly changed me forever, and I learned so many things it's hard to count. But the most important thing I learned is this: Jesus Christ lives. I know that. His gospel is the way to happiness and peace here on the earth, and an eter...

Whattup fools of april,  I had an email all written out to send this morning but then I blacked out and the draft disappeared from my inbox. Weird. Hope nothing weird or quirky happened while I was away.  But anyways, three more weeks of reflecting on the polaric nature of virtues in the bag. Also, very much engaged in the repentance process because of not writing emails. My mom is passive-aggressively scolding me every week for not writing  Writing is hard.  P day heist So a couple p days ago one of the coolest members in the ward made lunch for us and she has this grandson Chris whose basically home alone all the time so whenever the missionaries are over he freaks out and just wants to play with us. So while we were eating lunch he goes outside and he sets up a huge trip wire system with kite string so that nobody can leave the house, and in order to get out we had to break through it. Then we all went to the chapel and had a ping pong competition. While we were p...
