How cool to receive a letter in the mail with all the stampings from Brazil. Most exciting though was to hear from Elder Hendrixson again so soon! Here are some of his updates and quotes from his experiences thus far . . .
"The days are long but the weeks are short. Learning Portuguese is a difficult task, but it is coming along very quickly. Portuguese is a beautiful language but it is difficult to learn how to use all the different tenses. There is no such thing as does, do did, which is very weird."
"It is quite enjoyable being here and being allowed to more fully focus and specifically study the Gospel of Christ. It is insane how much information alone is within our library. Hopefully after two full years of vigorous study I will be much more knowledgeable and wiser. Kinda like how the birthday song says 'one year older and wiser too".
"The food is really yummy. We are really enjoying the two Brazilian roommates we had until yesterday. They just left for Fortaliza and now our comical relief is gone but the nights are always entertaining. . . . There are so many people here with so many different talents it is fun to get to know them. One of my favorite parts is eating a mango off the tree while studying in the garden. The MTC here is beautiful and I have the blessing of climbing seven flights of stairs everyday."
"It is so nice not going to school and to be on a new adventure in life."
What a blessing to have all of the communication tools so that we can share in his mission with him. I hope each and everyone of you reading this will remember to keep Elder Hendrixson in your prayers as he continues to spread the love of our Heavenly Father and Jesus Christ. Until next time...
