Mom: This Saturday and the past week have been filled with worry! We have been pumping water out of the crawl space and the sump pump broke... then we had about an inch + in the basement! The LDS Ward and other churches met to do sand bags. Dad's just went to help Tauni. Her front lawn is a pond! All that snow was sooo great but then it rained and they had to let Cutler Dam go. They said the release would fill bear lake, Willard Bay, whatever reservoirs and Lake Powell in one day😳! Holy stink we have water!

Cam: Holy cow this is crazy!

Mom: Good morning! Ya, the pump is still pumping... it's a nightmare. How's the new place?

Cam: It is o.k. My companion is good, he is funny. Then, there is a young man, Junior who will leave on his mission this year and is just waiting on his call. He goes with us almost everyday. There are a group of  4 girls and they say they love the church. But, their parents won't let them be baptized. I also think that they just like elders.

Mom: I think your probably right. But, I guess if you can bring the gospel to them that works. They had a farewell yesterday in Colina Ward. 

Cam: No,  a lady died that I knew. It was in her sleep. I think that is what it was.

Mom: Was she old or young? I'm sorry. What was wrong with her?

Cam: She was like 40-50 and it was in her sleep. They think  it was something with her heart.

Mom: I thought it said something about Elder Sanchez. I'm going to the Jazz game with dad tonight. 

Cam: Oh, I don't know it could be. Where did you see it?

Mom: I saw it on Instagram.  

Cam: Ha! Ha!  That kid is hilarious...  

Mom: He looks hilarious.  What members have had you to dinner?  Briar e-mailed us last week.

Cam: We don't have very many members have us to lunch here.  There aren't many members.  Some people do it several times per month.  There is one guy who he and  his wife are returning members and they have invited us to dinner about 3 times already.  They are about 25.  He is pretty crazy but they are good!

Mom:  He is coming back to the church? What's his and his wives names? So, what do you eat?

Cam: Their names are Quietero and Samara.  They have two kids.  They are 1 and about 4. There is a thing here called Couscous.  

Mom:  What is Couscous?  

Cam:  It is a food.  You need to look it up on the internet.  They only have it in the North part of Brazil.  It isn't the best.  It is really sorta plain.

Mom: Do they eat it a lot?  What is your house like? Rank it out of all 3 places you have had.

Cam: It is ok.  I have a video of it.  I will send it to you.  It is in the middle.  Yes, they eat Couscous a lot.

Mom: I love you!  Did you get packages or is that tomorrow?

Cam: I will see Wednesday when I go to the offices. 

Mom: What do you like most about Perez?

Cam: He is just really cool and we get along good. 

Mom: Who is your favorite family to visit?

Cam:  I like to visit Junior.

Mom:  Do you have a washer and dryer?

Cam: We have a washer but no one in Brazil has a dryer, we use a clothes line.

Mom:  What day does Brother Christoffersen come?

Cam:  He comes on March 11th.  I have to go mom.  Have a good week.  I love you!

Mom:  I love you son!
