Tim sent a voice clip this week. The first part of it was him talking to some neighbor boys in Portuguese, so we can't transcribe that portion, but here is the rest of it.

Hey Family, here we are. Just in our house with our little neighbor boys. Playing a little soccer with them, just hitting around and we’re just going to talk a little bit so you guys can hear.

The boy’s names are Junior and Pedro. (Lot's of talking in Portuguese.......)

Elder Jones just made a surprise appearance. So that was our neighbor boys. They just ran into our house and little Junior busted our glass cup and raised hecccckk in our house and then left. He’s super funny though. But, me and Jones, we’re just heading out to go use the internet. This week was super cool - not super cool - but we worked really hard and Ricardo? got baptized. It was a good baptism. He really understood what baptism was. He was super excited. The ward got super pumped with us too because we just got here and we baptized a man, so they think we’re the best. He’s super firm. We went and talked to him and he said he felt the spirit really strong at his baptism. We also saw a girl get struck by lightning in front of our house and we also saw a kid about 50 feet up in a mango tree picking mangoes for us.

Hey, what? (Junior says something and Tim answers), He just called me man. So that’s what’s going on here. We’re just having fun tearing it up over here in Nelson Costa. The work’s been pretty hard. We’ve been working our tails off with not too much success but we’re sure the blessings are coming.

(Elder Jones says something about the boys calling him fat.) Junior just called Elder Jones fat because he just got out of the shower and he is getting a little pudgy. (Elder Jones says that he is not. Tim says he is because he is too lazy to do the perfect pushups in the morning.) Sometimes he tries to do my set (We think that is what he said. He mumbled.) but it’s pretty funny.

So, we’re just sitting here chillin and we’re going to go use the internet. I’ll send this to you and then that’s about it. I hope you guys are doing good and talk to you later.
