Cause She's Leaving On A Jet Plane after Week 5

Letter from Jenna written on June 1st.

Hey family!!! How are you guys!!! I think I heard from everybody but Jake this week!!! It sounds like everybody is good!
So I have some good news...ready? I'm going to BRAZIL!!! Yep, I leave Tuesday to go down there. I found out about 4 hours ago, and I'm going to call home in about 40 minutes...hopefully. If my comp will let me! So mother dearest...I need that pack before I leave...so if you can please do that as soon as possible!
But yeah, so pretty much my whole district is leaving. Okay, not my whole district but a lot of us are leaving! Out of the nine, there are five leaving, then I think Elder Jorgensens district is leaving too. Elder Jorgensen is my traveling cordinator, or whatever they call him. I fly out Tuesday morning at 11:10 AM for NY, they I leave NY at 10:15 PM and arrive in Sao Paulo at 9:25 the next morning. It's a long flight, but I'm ready to be there!
Holy buckets..that's a lot of water! It has rained the past few days, but overall it is beautiful and warm! The rain is cold, but when it is sunny it is sunny! I've been able to stay pretty warm with my 3 cardigans I have, so it hasn't been bad.
The work is going good. My classes are practically all in Portuguese now, meaning that the class is required to speak Portuguese! That is hard, but it is good, I'm learning so much faster. I talked to an actual Brazilian a couple of days ago, and he understood me, but then he informed me that I spoke weird. Haha that could just be because I can't conjegate anything.
We haven't work on the phones at all, and I don't think I will since I'm leaving in a week! We have people that we teach in the TRC, but most of those are returned missionaries just acting the part. My progressing investigators are pretty good too! One couple, Jose and Fatima are committedc to baptism, but we found out jose smokes, so we are working on that. Maria and Gi are still stoned faced, and won't pray about anything! Haha, just so you know the investigators are my teachers playing the part, but it is good practice. All of our lessons to them have to be in Portuguese.
Hmmm...Dad, it is funny you mentioned Saturdays warriors. I had a sub the other day that claimed he knew me, and he looked familiar to me too. But we have never crossed paths. The entire class says it is meant to be, and that we met in the pre-existance. I told them we'd have to wait until I got home, cause nothing is going to stop my mission! So funny!
Well that is about all, I'm praying for unconditional love, so if you want to pray that I can find it that would be good!
Well fam, I love you much! I hope you are all doing well, and as a side not, I'm sorry if I bawl tonight on the phone with you! My emotions are everywhere!
Eu se que o livro de mormon e verdadeiro e contem a plentitude do evangelho, eu se que da igreja de jesus cristo dos santos dos ultimos dias e verdadeiro. Eu se que as familias ser eternas. eu se que eu amo voces muito!!! Eu se que jesus cristo e nosso salvador, ele pagou por nossos pecados, entou morreu por nos entou nos volter para nosso paj. En nome de jesus cristo amem...
Some of that is spelled wrong, but when you are typing in another language against a clock spelling doesn't really matter...and I don't think the last part is even right...but you get my drift! Love you!
