Hey Guys,

So I have about ten minutes to write you guys here. President had us come in and send emails to our families because today is the start of Carnaval, so it´s going to get a little bit crazier here haha. But anyway, they moved our P-day to next Wednesday instead of Monday, so don´t expect my letter to come in on Monday. Carnaval supposedly starts up tonight and doesn´t end until Wednesday so our schedule is going to change a bunch for these next few days. We have to leave the house earlier to work (9:00 in the morning) and we have to be in our house again by six. It will be pretty interesting. I hear that here in Juiz de Fora, Carnaval isn´t very crazy, and everyone here is acting normal, so we´ll see what happens, right?

What have all of you guys been up to this last week? I can´t believe that it is already Friday! That is so weird! Time is flying by so fast! I´m getting really excited for General Conference this week, it´s going to be sweet! We have 3 more baptisms marked for this week as well, really awesome people! Two girls and a guy that are really awesome and really excited! It is going to be great!! Things are really picking up great here! I have a new companion here, Elder Siqueira, and he was trained by Elder Billin as well! He is really sweet! He fixed our washer too haha. I really love our Zone, most of the people stayed so that was really great! But, I am out of time now! Love you guys! Hope that you all have an amazing week and I will talk to you all on Wednesday!! See you guys!!

-Love, Elder McDonald
