Week 6

Sent by Jenna on June 15

So I still only have 30 minutes to write. So I'm going to be quick, and this keyboard is weird, so don't judge my grammar or spelling. :) Brazil is so different from what I thought it would be! It is crazy cold here!!! Yes I said cold, I honestly was not expecting the cold! Mornings are really cold, then afternoons are on the too warm side! And there is next to no humidity! But apparently Salvador is hot and humid, so I'll enjoy the cold while I can. Because I have so little time to write, I probably won't be reading your emails till after I write, so if you have questions I probably won't answer them. So the CTM here is different form Provo too! It is one smallish building, and that is all you are ever in. But on p-days I get to go roam the streets! That was fun! I did that today! I also got to go to the Sao Paulo temple! That was beautiful and full of fun surprises...mostly I didn't know what they were saying, even though most of it was in english! Right now I have mixed emotions. I love it here in Brazil, but I'm not really liking the CTM, because it is so different, classes are different, and the teachers teach in a totally different way! Hmm...I have more to say, but I don't really know what to say or how to say it. I guess the main point is I am in culture shock!! It is fun though. We are encouraged to interact with the Brazilians everyday, I thought my portuguese was coming along nicely until they started talking to me...yeah turns out I know nothing! It is fun though, I have a Brazilian roommate! So I talk to her everynight, that helps a lot! She knows no english besides what I have taught her, so I am forced to speak in portuguese. I love it! Hmm...yeah I know this is short but I have a lot of emails to read...I'll try to respond to those. I love you! And I miss you! Hope you are all well! Well family, you get one huge paragraph and no more...one because I can't enter down, and twop because I want to read your emails. Love you all! I love this gospel and I know it is true!!! I'm so glad I have your support! Love you, Sister Rounds
