Dearest friends and family,

We took bus and train and met with Patty and her husband. They took us to the hospital and we got the phone number of person whom we need to talk. On Monday, Evan will find out then if they need help, then we will contact Stake President of that area.

After the visit, Evan asked me if I am hungry so I said yes, thinking they will take us to lunch place right away. But instead, they took us to their place. It is a new building and very beautiful. It is only 3 years old and they have swimming pool and exercise room also. So I was getting so hungry. We went to the small restaurant , bakery next to it. I am so amazed whereever we go they have Sushi!.
 They are better than I expected they are Brasilian style. So since they took us around, we treated them for lunch.
Then they drove us home. I was so happy.

One thing about the city of Sao Paulo is that there are so many greens all over. And they have flowers on and they are beautiful. But most of the houses look very poor. So I am not sure if the city is considered safe and clean.

Other missionary couple told us that after we wash dishes, we have to rince with clean drinking water. But Patty said, she does not do that, so I think I will stop doing that.
I have been brushing my teeth with tap water and I have nopt gotten sick yet.

We are excited to find the hospital and hope this will work out.

It was so cold this morning but right now it is so hot! You never know how to dress here.

Joey thanks for the shoes. They really helped my ankle. Yes, they are ugly but I finally look like an old missionary with the ugly shoes!!!

Patty and her husband will be going to the temple for their own endowment and will be sealed next Saturday, We are so excited!!!  Tim, I wish you could be here!!!
Evan just went to the super market for the dinner tonight and food for tomorrow.

Evan makes my oatmeal breakfast every morning. It taste almost like McDonald one. Yes, raisen and apples.

Well that is all for today.

I still miss you so much. Joey and Amy send me a card with Punkin's face and her hair attached. I look at them all day long!!!

I love you tons. and I miss you all!!!!
