Week 4 In Brazil

Oi Familia!
 
My heart and prayers go out to the Ward family. It's hard to believe that only a few weeks ago I was talking to Elder Ward in the MTC laundry room. I distinctly remember being impressed at how much he had grown and I told my companion, Elder Andersen, that Taylor was going to be a powerful missionary. I'm certain that is exactly what he is doing right now. His enthusiasm  and testimony will continue to be examples to me. Honestly, I am just at a loss for words right now. God be with you till we meet again Taylor.

Everything else that I have to say now seems frivolous, but I'll try to answer your questions.

Pictures: It turns out that my SD card picked up a virus at the MTC (of all places!) and the computers here have been rejecting any attempt to send pictures because of security settings, but I had someone clean my card so hopefully they'll work this week.

The zone leaders meeting last week got cancelled, but President Martins happened to be giving a training in our chapel yesterday and he left my letters and package with the branch president, so I was able to get them yesterday! On my actual birthday, Elder Ahmed treated me to Subway for lunch and when we came home that night, the other set of elders surprised me with some homemade chocolate chip cookies, which don't really exist here. I'll try to attach some pictures now, but just know that I know that the plan of salvation really is a plan of happiness, and that I know that families can be sealed together for eternity. That is why I am here!

Love, Elder Carr
