Hello Everyone! Its sad to see the old cars go, but thats cool you bought a new one. Starting school huh? Thats always fun. Just enjoy it. We are still in our search for families. We have found a few already that we are teaching. We went to Cuiabá this week for a meeting with President Costa of the Quorum of the Seventy. It took us about 8 hours by bus to get there because there are a bunch of Indians blocking the freeways outside the city on strike. They´re mad because the governments been taking thier land or something. Anyway its making things complicated for all the busses and trucks to get through. The meeting was really good. It talked about a lot of things that need to be different. The mission is going through a little bit of a focus change right now. Its starting to focus more on finding families and having "real growth" happen. We got stuck in Cuiabá for one more night afterward because of the indians and didn´t get home until 1 in the afternoon on saturday. Anyway, just keep pretending i´m just at College like Caleb said because it will all pass by really fast. Good luck with just Caleb and Nathaniel at home now. It will all be fine. I love you all! See yah in a couple years! Elder Skiles
