Fun For Everyone

12/3/2008

Seeing as how its going to take a minute to collect myself after reading 

Danny V´s letter here are a few fun things i noticed in Brazil/ other fun 

things that happed this week:
 
1.  Apparently for every cashew you eat there is one pear sized fruit it 

comes from...where are all these fruit going?  I´ve eating like a Brazilian 

cashews in my life and only 3 cashew fruits as of right now.  There must be 

a lot of extra lying around somewhere
 
2.  I had an unfortunante experinece with cereal this week when a bag of 

Frosted Flakes didn´t wanna open until i excerted all my force so that it 

could explode..everywhere.  Sadly my desk was a mess at the time too so it 

wasn´t as easy one wipe clean up, it was more like a treasure hunt for breakfast. 

Needless to say it was hilarious, especially to my comp
 
3. I now know every EFY song ever along with the Son´s of Provo sound tracks...

yikes!
 
4. No matter what you do (wearing sunglasses or even closing your eyes) things 

WILL fly into your eye, like directly into your eye.  But i´m am thankful for 

the wind, of which there is none today and i feel ´´like a jack rabit on a hot 

skilit in the middle of august´´ (how does that sponge bob quote go by Sandy?)
 
5.  I´m ready for you to send me a wash machine, DRYER, and garbage disposal 

mom...please
 
6. You can live in Brasil for less than 10 reais a week, trust me i´ve done it 

(as of now)
 
7.  In tropic climates mold can grow everywhere.  It pretty remarkable actually, 

it can even grow on stickers...odd
 
8.  One of the best ways to send packages is with Pictures of Christ on the 

outside aka stickers (a reacuring theme) because people working the mail are so 

superstisious.  However i´m not enitrely sure how well this process works if you 

just litterally put ´´Jesus´´ stickers on the package (ie:written out) because...

people don´t speak English down here interestingly enough *cough emily heitmeyer 

cough* lol
 
9.  Why are so many streets the equivalent of 5 super steep boat ramps stacked 

on top of one another?
 
10.  Halls is a candy? ...what? i´m confused, Halls and the word candy should 

never follow after one another just like the word head and cheese (-Jerry 

Seinfeld)
 
11.  If your speaking with a Missionary from UT don´t expect him to know which 

state your city is from (even if it is a major city) if you live outside of UT. 

However you will be required to know what road they live on within Salt Lake, 

cause thats prolly what their going to give you. Not to offend anyone.
 
12.  We set off the church alarm for the second time this week (the sound makes 

me want to punch... -Dane Cook) i thought my ears would fall off
 
13. Brazilians love that you and your companion just so happen to have the same 

first name...Elder,  Quite the couinadense eh?
 
14.  I got a hammock, ....uh ok, cool
 
15.  I can´t believe ppl actually write me seeing as how my address is longer 

than most of my letters (just kidding)
 
16.  Whats going on with the ice cream down here? Its still good, but are they 

mixing it with water be for the freeze it? I demand more flavor and less iceyness
 
17.  Deoderant down here... haha yeah you´ve been waiting to hear about this 

havn´t ya dad?  Well they have the roll on or...wait for it....A sqeezy bottle 

thing that actually works as a pretty great antipersperant.  My only dislike is 

that by the time i finish applying it my entire arm is wet....wasn´t i trying 

to prevent that?  Now i smell good but it looks like i´m sweating from my elbow, 

is that worth it?
 
Lastly as a bit of advise, keeping in mind i am now a smoothie master ´´king me!´´ (-scrubs), freeze your bananas in replacement of ice, its magic i promise.
 
Now to more serious matters,
TO BE CONTINUED....
