9/30

Last day of the month and it is such a beautiful day.
Evan went to that little girls ward for her Primary presentation. She is the one Evan baptised.
So I could not go to my church.

Adreano needed blessing so Evan went to his house since Danouvia is with him.

My body started aching from the fall. But it is not that bad. I guess I hit all over my body and finally start aching now.

I love and miss you so much!!

It was so wondrful to have Joey here!!!
Even in Brasil, he can figure out everything!

Tody was not the great day.

1. Joey is not here and I really miss him.
2. When we were walking back home from the office, I fell.. I felt so stupid. I now have a huge bump on my forhead and hurt my left hand also.
But please do not worry, it still hurts but swelling is going down.
We don't know how it happend. Evan was right behind me. Poor Evan, he felt so bad but it is not his fault!
I even had a flat shoes. I guess I do loose balance still. I feel so stupid!!

I am so scared to walk now. I never walk alone though. Evan is always holind my arm..

I miss and love you so much!!!!

Dearest family and friends,

It was a sad day for me becuse Joey left for home. It was 10 day stay but I felt like it was only 2 days.
Today was Stake Conference and we did not know what time and Joey stayed home. So I decided to stay home also.

I cannot tell you how special it was to have him here. It was almost like having IV to my body.
I really wanted hide in his suite case but there were no room. He got tons of junk sweet for Amy (that is what he said).

It was another cool day.

New week is starting again. I have 81/2 months to go!

I love amd miss you.

Barbara, when Joey saw my pumkin, he started laughing. make sure you get the copy of my pumpkin picure. I still love her so much!!!

I miss and love you!!!

Another cold day so Joey was happy. He left early to go to the theme park with his park  members.He said he had very good time.
He also went to Walmart for me and got the frozen waffle. Evan has been looking whole time and he could not find them.
And Joey finds them no problem!
Evan went to the ceremony for the one we are working on (mentally handycap people's yard) but he did not want me ot go because it takes 2 hours one way. So Joey did not go either. Joey went Walmart 3 times today!!

Joey and Evan went out to have dinner. But I was not feeling good so I had to stay home. Joey got my favorite sushi for me.

I am so sad that he is leaving tomorrow night. He really saved my life!!!

I miss and love you all.

9/21,

Dearest family and friends,

Monday and Tuesday were so hot over 35 degree and all of sudden the tempreture dropped to really cold last few days.
So Joey was so happy.
Yesterday, dad and Joey went to the Theme Park and they had a great time. They were not expecting great so they were so happy.
Today we, three os us, went to the temple for 9:00am session. It was so nice to have Joey with us. Joey said everybody started speaking Portugese to him because he looks like one of them.

Then he went to another one with the member of the theme park group. It is amazing that there are people all over the world. He said it was much smaller but had a great time.
Actually he just called me and he will be late.

Evan went to the sealing of our friends but I could not.Tomorrow is going to be very busy!!! But exciting. We will have ceremony for the Facility which we are helping right now. That was Japanese group.

Well, take care, I miss and love you so much!!!

Dearest family and frriends,

All of sudden weather changed and it was almost cold and Joey loved it.
Joey and Evan went to the Theam Park and they said it was small but had a good time.
I stayed home all day by myself but they called me all the time to make sure I was OK.

I still had headache and nausia but was OK.

Tomorrow morning we are going to the temple 9:00 session. I hope I can wake up!!!
I am sad that Joey is going home on Sunday!

I want everybody to visit me!!!


I miss and love you!!!

Dearest family and friends,

It was another hot hot day. Joey took me to work but I had to come home. I still get sick when it is so hot. And no air-condition!!!

Joey and I went to the office around noon then I introduced him to our workers and gave candies.
Then Evan and we had lunch at the temple. I thought since I had not had food at the temple, I will be OK but.....No! I got sick by eating rice with gravy. I am so sick of getting sick about anything. Joey had custered pudding and coun't believe how sweet it was. According to Joey, everything is solty or too sweet!

Then Joey took me back home and we just stayed home. Evan got back around 4:00 and he just took Joey to Chicken and Potatoe place. I am still sick from lunch so I could not go.
Chicken just don't do well with me any more.

Joey went to Wall Mart and got the delicious American style donut! He sure know what to get.

Tomorrow Joey and Evan are going to the park but no way I can go.

I miss and love you so much!!!

Poor Joey, he has been so hot all day long.
Evan, Joey and I went to Eldorado shopping center for lunch. I had
Gyoza and Tempura, Evan had fruits, Joey had mixture of Brasilian food.
He is amazing. Evan and I always get lost there but Joey knew where to go!

I got so sick because of heat so I stayed home and Evan went to work for few hours.
Evan and Joey just went to get ice cream. Joey is amazing. He keeps finding new stuff which we had never seen.

We had black out for few minutes and Elevator was not working and fan didn't either. Joey went crazy without fan!!!

But we got the electoricity back!!!!
But our home phone is not working!!!!

Well, it has been amazing to have him here. I want all my family to be here.
I miss my friends and family so badly.

I have been smiling all day because Joey is here!!! It is so wonderful to have him here.
Evan went to see Patty's father all day! (He was gone more than 8 hours!!!)
So It was so nice to have Joey here!!!

Only thing we did was he and I went to nearby Japanese store.
He just left for Walmart!
 He likes it here even though he said it smells bad!

I just want to see all my family!!! and friends!!!
He told us that our ward was divided. No one tells us anything!!!

It was not so hot so Joey was happy.

He brought so many candies and we felt like Christmas came!!! Our people in the office will be so happy!!!

Dearest family and friends,

It was a beautiful day but it was warm. Sorry Joey. (He hates hot weather!) I think it will be warm while you are here. But not too hot!

As I mentioned I could not sleep until this morning at 4:00 so I was sick all day!And of course Peppermint is the one I did not bring!!! I was too excited to have Joey come on Friday!

I hope I can go to work tomorrow! then temple.

I am sorry but I have to go to bed (6:30pm).

Hope all is well. Please let me know if you have Elder and Sister Johnson's mail address.

Thank you.

Dearest family and friends,

This afternoon I spent three hours at the hair dresser just to color and highlight.
I think I will go home with all grey hair!!! I hate it there. I asked everybody if they speak English but they all say "NO".

Jonathan has been giving me a good ideas of how to learn Portugues better. Thank you!!!

Do any one of you know if it is easy to color your hair by yourself? And if so, what brand is the best?

First thing I will do when I go back are:(After I get hugs and kisses from my grandkids)
1. Color my hair
2. Cut my hair
3. Perm my hair
4.Clean my teeth at the dentist.
5. And put new nails (They don't do it here. They only put nail polish, that is all)
6. Go to "Wing Top"
7 Good mexican food.(I can't remember the name.)
8. Good nomal pizza
9. Japanese store.

Yesterday, Brother Scadden printed 1,000 papers. Tomorrow I have to check everyone of them and put them in the envelopes and glue to close them.
Exciting?

I sure miss and love you!!!!

Hiroko

9-10,

Dearest family and friends,

In 4 days Joey is coming. We can't hardly wait. I miss just touching my family. I hope everything goes well and he will arrive OK.

It was a hot and busy day. It was really hot!!! Brother Scadden made over 1,000 copies and now we have to put them together and put them in envelopes. Lots of tidious work!!!

We found the best Sushi across street. We loved it. That is the kind Joey does not like. Sorry.

I miss and love you all.

Sept 10,

Dearest family and friends,

It was a hot hot Sunday and the girl usually pick us up to the church could not come today. So we had to walk (climb up) the hill and it was hot!!!

And the translator for RS did not come today. That means I had no clue what was going on. Good thing I read the lesson manual.

And....the translator for the Sacrament meeting did not show up either. Speaker was an Elder who has been here only 6 months and he was able to give a talk without looking at paper or anything!!!
Well, he is young. And I had stroke and lost part of my brain. I bet that was part of language.

On the way home, member of the ward noticed us walking and took us home!!!!
One good thing.

And Sumou started so we were excited.

I miss and love you all!!!

Hiroko

Joey, can't wait to see you in few days!!!!!

Sept 8,

Dearest family and friends,

It was a hot day. Evan went to the Baptism for the other ward. I did not go because I did not know them.
Also I had headach and leg pain all day long.

It was nothing to do and quite boring!

I had the anxaety attack last night. All of sudden I was so scared that our pasports are gone. But we found it. I know we still have 9 more months but I HAD to make sure I had one. Also it will not expire until 2016. So I am all set!!

Evan went to shopping and got another Filet of fish from Mac!
They are so good. and does not make me sickafter I eat. That is miracle!!!

I miss and love you tons.

Hiroko

Sept 7,

Dearest family and friends,

I thought it was Wednesday but thought it was Thursday yesterday. so I went to the office. I usually go to the temple on Thursday and when I go to the temple, I don't go to the office. I can't handle two activities in a day.

But we rushed back home after work then went to the temple.
I put Jonathan' name on the prayer roll. I hope he will feel better. Then Duke also!

Today Friday is national Holiday. I have no idea what holiday it is. Evan went to MacDonald for me and got filet of fish. It was soooooo gooooood!!! Taste exactly the same.

It was so hot that I did not go out at all.

I think we are having election or something. There are so many posters all over, but strange thing is, their face is printed really big and name in small prints. And then they put huge numbers. I mean really big like 98573. No idear how they can remember the numbers!! and what is that for.

I hope all is well and love and miss you so much!!!

Hiroko

Sept 5th,

Warm and hot day!!!!I am not looking forward for summer.

I got sick again so I stayed home, since Evan will be too busy to take me home early.Today is 5th and I have 6 more months to go!!!!! No it did not go fast. Yes, I miss my family and friends so much.
I worry about Duke. I was so sad when Joey's Peanut died and I hate to see them go.

Tomorrow, no matter how I feel, I have to go to the office because Sister Scadden needs help. They are leaving in the end of Nov and I will feel so sad! New couple will come from Arizona in a month.

I found really good food(Japanese) across the street so I was looking forward to have it for the dinner but Evan said a guy just got the last one before he got it!!!! He should told the guys that it is for my wife and just take it from him!!!!!

I miss and love you so much!!!

Hiroko

Sept 10th,

Dearest family and friends,

Joey is going to come here in a week. I can´t hardly wait. But saying good byu again will be difficult!!
I was feeling sick again today. I don´t know what to do. And one of the sister missionary broke her leg walking outside so Evan will never let me walk bymyself.
There are about 500 holls on the street. My balance is not so good so he does not let me walk alone.This sister ususally goes to Gym and walk stairs 12 story up! I can´t even walk one stair up!
I think I aged alot since I came here.I hope you can recognize me when you see me. Pumkin might not.

I am getting sick but I can´t go home because Evan is in meeting.

I sure miss you guys so much and love you!!!

Hiroko

Sept 3,

Dearest family and friends,

It was one of the best day today. Evan took me to Eldorado for lunch!!!
It was one of the best! I had Tempura and Gyoza and they were so good. But I made a mistake and bought candy macademian nuts.
I should know better because I got sick last time I had them and sure enough I got really sick. I have to remember!!!!
But it was so nice of Evan to take me there. And Escalater and elevator were working!!!! What a Surprise!!!!

So it was really a fun day for me and so glad that I found something I can eat!

I really miss nad love you all!!!

Hiroko

Sept 2,

Another beautiful day but I was not feeling beautiful at all.
Sister scadden brought us BBQ chicken last night but I got sick by eating it.
I just do not like chicken breasts anymore. I get sick everytime I eat chicken breast.

Evan is visiting Adreano right now. He has been in Rio for few days so Evan wanted to see him. I miss him too but, not enoght to take buses for hours.

Well that is all for today.
I miss and love you so much!!!.
I am so proud of Jonathan learning Portuguese so much. He spend 6 hours a day studing. I only spend 5 minutes a day. No wonder I am no learning at all. It is my fault!!
 But I really think HF gave a half of my "Gift of toung" to him.

I love and miss you!!!

Sept 1,

Dearest family and friends,

Last night was so special to be at the temple.
I sm so worried about Starley's dog, Duke. I even put his name on the prayer list.
He is sucha a special and sweetest dog!!! Please let hime sleep on the couch if he wants to.It makes me feel so sad that he might not make it till I get back. I love that boy so much!!

Evan went to the baptism of his friend, whom I don't know at all.

It is another beautiful day and I feel little better than yesterday.
Sister Scudden came by and gave us 1/4 of water melong, which I was really craving for.

I miss and love you all.
