3 Weeks Down!!!

Dear Friends and Family,

Oi! How is everyone doing? Good I hope. 3 weeks down! It's so crazy. I am considered a veteran here at the MTC now haha. The time has gone by in the blink of an eye. Yesterday I got the chance to leave the MTC for the first time in three weeks to take this elder to the doctors in provo. He has to go home to get surgery unfortunately. But it felt like freedom for me and my companion who went with him. We were so excited to ride in a car again! lol I took a nap during the 3 minute car ride because I'm always so tired. As a missionary you are tired 24/7. I can fall asleep just by not moving! its pretty bad haha. But ill be able to get plenty of sleep when i am dead as my dad would say. Its time to work hard no matter how tired I am.

I have realized that the best way to enjoy things is to laugh. Alot. My dad always told me... if youre not happy, you're not doing it right. I make it a goal of mine to laugh every day. And we do! we all have so much fun together. Every day during gym time we run out to the sand volleyball courts and ball it up as a zone in volleyball. its the best thing ever. Y'all better watch out for when I Get back. im going to be beast at volleyball. (That was for you heather and michaella) 

  My portuguese is getting better every day. I can understand everything anyone says and I speak it well. Every once in a while I just don't know a word but thats it. It all comes smooth.

So let me tell you about the food. IM SO SICK OF IT!!!!!!! Every tuesday, just like today, we go to the temple early and after hit up the breakfast in the basement cafeteria. bomb.com! Best food ever! and its super cheap!

3 more weeks left! 3 week stretch till we tear up the streets of Portugal! Yeahhhhhh! Im so excited. Its going to be so awesome. I feel confident in my portuguese already and im barely halfway through! Eu sou muito animado para ir.

Thank you guys for all the love and support you offer me. Im doing super well! Tudo bem! Having the best time of my life. Love you all and hope you have another great week! Eu amo voces.

com muito amor sempre,

elder haroldsen
