I am still doing great! I can't believe how much i love it here! Christmas was amazing! We had two Christmas devotionals one on Christmas Eve and one on Christmas Day! Elder Nelson from the twelve spoke at both of them and he also taught preisthood lesson for the Elders! The spirt was so strong when he read the Christmas story form Luke chapter two! It was the coolest thing to have a prophet of the lord read to us about the Savior. I wish that you could have been here to hear it! On Christmas Eve me and the other Elders in my room read from Luke two as well and it was amazing. I missed being with you guys on Christmas but the Elders here and companion have become like a second family to me! I love them so much! There is only one elder in my room that i dont like that much but the other two are amazing and the Elders in my district are amazing! We have tons of food in our room because everyone got food packages from home so please dont send any more food for awhile because we are sharing all the food we got! The other Elders in my room thank you for the food that you sent me! I am not sleeping very good because I get really cold at night so if you could send me a blanket for a single bed that would be awesome! I swear it is more cold in my room that it is in Mom and Dad's room at home! Its so cold! The portuguese is coming ok, I guess. Its really hard to pronounce the words because I just want to pronounce them in french but I know that I will get it! My companion is a huge help in learning the language because he speaks spanish wich is closer to portuguese than french is! And he is always willing to help me when I need help! I thank heavenly father every day for him. He is the best companion in the world!
What do you mean you are not getting enough words from me!? I write emails and like two page letters to ryan and lou. don't you all read thoose letters. Do you want me to spend all day writing you? I thought that I was doing pretty good in writing and telling you about my life here.
I do have some bad news for you.... I tore a contact this morning so if you could order me another RIGHT contact and send it to me so that I could take two whole pairs to Brazil. I realized sometime that I forgot to bring my old pair of contacts. I also forgot my misson call papper, don't send it, but will you make sure that it is in my room and that it is not lost. I don't remember where I put it. the reason i mention the mission call is because last night i had a dream that it was lost and it made me really sad.
I have not got any letters from Ashlin or Holly. =( I wrote them on Christmas Eve and I thought they would have written me back by now but I guess they don't love me anymore. Haha im just kidding. Do you know if any of my other siblings are planning on writing me?
Thank you all so much for praying for me. You are in mine and my companions prayers. I love you guys hope that you are doing as awesome as I am!
Love, Elder Vaughn
