Vinte Anos!!!!!!!!! (translated-Twenty Years)

Wow!!! There's a lot of emails/phone calls that im getting today so ill make it quick this week!

I just got off the phone with President and Sister Colleoni. First I was talking to Sister Colleoni cause my comp was super sick last week so she was checking up on him and then from Pres telling me Happy Birthday in english, português and italian haha! But Thank-You!! I'm definetly feeling the love today from everyone! At least my Birthday is on my P-day so it makes it alot better! I'm not sure what we’ll be doing today cause my comp is still sick. Last week he woke up and was with a huge fever so we went to the hospital for 6+ hours. They tryed putting down his fever twice but it didn’t work until they overdosed him on drugs!  He got pretty crazy so on Saturday we got home at around 10:30 and the doctor told him to stay home so we missed church yesterday.. ( i almost got to say i never missed church once on my mission) but he’s already gotten alot better. He’s just super tired! I'm pretty sure someone is making cake for us later! So ill try to send pictures!

Last week wasnt that exciting cause we werent able to get out and work because my comp was sick and also one day we had to stay home cause all the drug dealers were going crazy for two days putting buses on fire all through out the city.  It began because the police cut the cell signal from the prison to the outside. The govenment sent 1,200 army troops and also a famous police here in Brasil whose only purpose is to kill. So when they’re called you know its serious! But don’t worry everyone is chill here nothing has happened in my area yet! 

Last Thursday we had a zone conference with President Colleoni and Elder Mazzagardi which was super cool! I was really needing this conference because at times I feel tired but this conference gave me the spiritual push to do more! Elder Mazzagardi talked alot about our purpose on this earth not only on our mission but after our missions too. Also more of what i have already heard the last time he came to speak here haha. But it was still super good! One of the things I’m going to miss after the mission!

Last week we were going to baptise some people but we remarked this for next week because of all that craziness that happened last week! So pray that it’ll go well! 

But mom I talked with the mission secretary Elder Petter. He told me about my package that’s waiting at the post office. I'm sure I’ll beable to go there tomarrow to grab it, Thank-You!

So the exchange student whose is in our ward from Brazil, how long will she be staying with the Grays? If she’s till there when I get home I'll have some one to practice my portugeuse with after the mission haha 

But i got to go thanks again for the birthday wishes- 

Love,

Elder Mauter
