OI FAMILIA ‏ 2/25/08

Hey ya'all, How's the worlds best family doing this week? Besides enjoying the freezing cold for me. Don´t worry I got sunburned for you all today. We played soccer with the young men in the ward. I'm not so good at soccer like I was when I was little. That and Brasil lives for soccer but that doesn´t matter neh. Well things improved this week. I am still having troubles with the comp but thats life. I have interviews with Pres. next week so maybe he can help. I made pancakes today for the 4 of us. I miss maple, please send some, it's just not the same without it. We put fresh guava on it so it was still good. I like to pick fruit off the trees when i I'm walking down the street. It's heaven for a fruit lover. But hey what can ya do? The mangos are the size of your head. The grapes are to die for. Ya it is great. We had 2 baptisms Saturday. Whooohooo that makes my second family. They are great they, like to make me food. But I just can´t seem to put on weight so say good bye to those stinkin fat pants. I think I'm in a size 30 now, no really I dont know but it is about that. Five holes in the belt and when I left I wasn´t using the last hole yet so its gone. Sorry. Dont blame me, it wasn´t me its the good food. Well you want stories huh. Hmmm I dunno what stories to tell. Yesterday we tried to teach a drunk guy. That was interesting. He had been drinking since 8 that morning and we taught at 6 so do the math. I told him that he wasn´t gunna remember anything the next morning so just shut up and listen and read the pamphlet tomorrow. It was hillarious. He kept calling my comp German and Russian. And since he's read the bible so many times he knows all about the plan of salvation. Ya, it was sweet. He said he was 1500 years old too um ya, let me tell ya what 1500 yrs sure whatever. So hows life going? Still busy as ever? I keep telling the Sisters in the ward how much I miss spending time with you all. All of those bonding moments and memories that I have keep me working hard. All the things you all taught me, My experiences that I can share with people here. Tell that little brother of mine to write me an email I need to share something special with him!!! Well I'm runnin out of stuff to say. I'll think of some more ok, for next week k. I love you all and am so grateful for your love support and prayers for me. Fyi I ate liver the other day too! Anyways I love you guys!!!! ELDER RAPP

Pics again!

I think this is one of the maybe zone conferences or something. Don't they look sharp?



This is a pic with Elder Rapp and his companion. The two in white are the ones getting baptized. I think this was his first or maybe second baptism that he participated in.

Elder Rapp this last week has had a rough week, but is alive an kickin. Wheew I really thought I had patience, but nope ja era. I'm in Porto Alegre still same but with a new comp, Elder Alves. What a trial. I'm junior still but he is not doing much, so I'm having to take the lead and be senior. It's tough. I've never prayed and read my scriptures so much in my entire life. A normal missionary prays 100 times a day anyway but I'm having to pray 100000000. Life is good though. Still losing weight. Nothing fits anymore, had to sell pants and buy more. So ya the belt has 6 new holes. But I have never eaten so much in my life. The time just changed here we are 4 hours different now. It's still hot as inferno ya know. The heat could kill ya, but enjoy the cold for me . We had a baptism Saturday and have two more this week. We are pushing the work along as best as we can. I've eaten cow tongue and liver. Whooo thats some good eaten there. I tell ya what yalls gots ta try dat. Here soon one of the sisters in going to make me some stomach and intestine whohooo! I always loved the chicken heart, it's some good eating. Well life is struggling along. How are things going for you all? You guys wanted a testimony so here ya go. Eu gostaria Prestar meu testumunho para vocês com amor. Que Esta obra do Senhor e a obra maravilhosa.

Woo hoo! Happy day!

Elder Rapp has officially been on his mission for 200 days today! It seems like yesterday we were loading him on a plane. Since counting each day was a little hard especially in the beginning, I have been counting down the Sunday's and tomorrow he will have 75 more Sunday's till we see him again. Hal says I am a crazy woman. I Hearts my missionary!

Querido Familia 2/11/08

Hello everyone. Hows my fam in the snow? It's freakin hot here. Things are kickin my butt right now. These last 2 week have definatly been a struggle. I'm having to rely on the Lord a ton. I just got a new companion and whew PATIENCE. He is a worry freak and is always worrying. I am having to teach him the area and help him calm down always. He got really mad at me this morning Cause I'm not doing all I can to teach him the area and the poeple of the ward in our area. Stress, it's a killer. I need a dew por favor for my birthday. We sat down and worked things out so all is well now. On a better side, we have a baptism this Sat and 4 next Sat, so things are improving. I got to watch the funeral of Pres. Hinckley and then we had a training via satelite with Pres Monson, tal vez dad went to that meeting to. They focused on the family and how we are leaders of the church and missionaries need to focus on the family. Things are tough right now but all is going for the better. Sorry about last week, everything was closed for the dumbest holiday in the history of mankind. Naked people in the middle of the road drunk and using drugs it was interesting. Everything is open today. So ya. Sorry this email is short. I'm having troubles with the computer and am needing to go to lunch with some investigators. Thanks for everything. I love you all and pray for all of you always. ELDER RAPP Next week will be better I promise!!

Hmmmmmmm.....maybe busy?

It seems that Elder Rapp had something going on yesterday as I never received a letter. They may have changed his p-day and never let us know. Sometimes they change the p-day to a different day so they can attend the temple. I am sure we will hear from him soon.

Still waiting...

Happy I am still waiting for a letter from Elder Rapp. Patience is a virtue and I am slowly learning it. Hopefully soon I will have a new letter to share.
