Dear Fam,

I'll just say it right now. I don't have pictures but i hope to here soon. Here you can't just stick the card in the computer because the computers are full of Viruses and if you do they will ruin your card so the solution is you get them put on CD's and then you can stick the disk in the computer and send them. I have a member in our branch who is going to put all 4 gig's of my pictures on disks for me and he got Malaria this last week and said he hasnt been feeling good so he didnt put them on disks but he said he will try to get them to me next Sunday. SORRY.

This week flew by as well we had a really good week, we had the most lessons in one week i have ever had since i have gotten here. You guys would love it here i already do. The language is coming along slowly but surely. The new mission president for this mission has already been called the Spendloves. The mission will probably turn into an all portuguese mission which will help me tremendously. They will be coming in the first of July.

Last night we were walking to a house and all the sudden the sky light up with lightning. It was crazy, we were at a house and it started to rain a little so Elder Wade said we should go home before we got soaked. Well we took about 10 steps away from the ladies house and guess what? It started to pour on us it was great theres nothing like walking about 7 blocks to get home in the pouring rain. (It was like walking to Kings from our house.) But as i was walking completely soaked i thought to myself this is awesome. I looked up into the sky and the clouds were red and the palm tree's were all around. It was beautiful. It was one of those moments when i think to myself dang im in Africa. I love the expeiences and am enjoying my time here.

We have been teaching quite a few people lately and i somewhat enjoy teaching now, i think that is like the hardest part for me. i can talk to people just like regular talking but when i try to teach gospel it is really tuff for mr, but it is coming around. I love the people in my area and i don't think i will ever want to leave. Elder Wade dosent want to leave it either but he will miss them alot. He only has three more weeks here and he is counting down the days but he really is going to miss it.

Thats cool to see the pictures, the bathroom looks awesome are you guys really going to do the upstairs one next that would be cool. Sadie you looked great you looked very happy in the picture and that dress looked awesome to. I can't believe how fast the time is flying by i think i am going to love this mission like none other. I already do but i can only imagine myself in a year when i can speak when and how i want. Keep the prayers flying my way they really hekp. i love you all so much and miss you a bunch as well. I would love to see some more pictures of Ainzly if at all possible and a family picture would be awesome to If you could i want the family picture on our trip to island park at the falls. And just a random picture of me and jesse on that trip if you could. Love you lots and look forward to the letters next week.

Love,

Elder Edwards
