Yup so this week was pretty much hard...my comp has a way of working and mine is another way and i DONT like the way he works at ALL so i guess we will have to co-operate with the way we work so thats okay!! This week was SUPER rainy LOTS AND LOTS OF RAIN almost everyday we walked in wet shoes so today i dicided to use my black toe shoes today!! About a month ago i sent in my application for Scofeild and i told them that i wont be home till april and they emailed me and asked if i could do an interview on the 20th of Febuary and i told him that i was on the mission so lets see how that goes!!! But other then that i am giving my last testimony on Thursday on the multi-zone so thats kinda nerve wrecking!! Thats kinda it for this week!

Look up Rio De Piracicaba and look what happened to our city
