Oi, Familia!
I get my flight plans a week from today and with how fast the weeks are going by it will feel like tomorrow! I'm so excited! We had to get FBI clearance, I guess it's a new rule they just added to go to Mozambique, so hopefully that won't slow me down because if I'm here another week I may burn the MTC to the ground, ha ha. Seriously, I might...It's not that bad I just want to get out of here! It was weird, we had to go to Albertson's to get a money order and it was so weird to see normal people. Everyone was looking at us and it was a really weird feeling but it was really exciting! It felt weird to ride in a car again too. It feels like I've been here for years but at the same time it's gone by way fast.
The Portuguese is coming so good! I've learned more in the last few days than I have the whole time I've been here. My teacher Irmao Bills even said that he was very impressed with how fast I've been picking it up the past week.
Thanks everyone for all the letters. I love getting letters, it makes the MTC not seem as bad. This week has flown by, we got a new district in on Wednesday and the guy going to Mozambique is way cool and we get along great. I can't wait to get out of here, but it was a good experience. Thanks again for all the letters, packages and love. I love you all!

P.S. When I said we were the oldest district I meant in our zone, not the whole MTC. Our zone includes everyone who is going to a Portuguese speaking mission. Love You!
