10/14/18 - Emma Letter to Family

Hyrum the kid in my lap.. or the kid I was trying to get off of my lap since missionaries cant have kids sit on their laps... he's my "brother" here in Brasil named Dante. Mari I love all the food here. How is Copa going?

Dad good job being the buffer. Hong Kong is where Dalton is serving. Bummer they couldn't get Lincoln in. Everything happens for a reason but that is a bummer he couldnt finish.

Mom thanks for the stuff about ephraim. I'm gald you like my hair cut. I will be extra careful with surroundings this week. Thanks for the heads up!

So my hair is sitting in a bag in my apartment. Sheila (my mom here, wife of president tarso) will help me donate it but I've found out because i'm blonde american and my hair is high quality if i sell it i could get around 1800 reals. thats more than 500 dollars. I want to ask your opinion on what i should do. There are not a lot of blonde brasillians here but maybe a blonde is waiting for a wing... nao sei.

Dad rememebre my trainer A. Ribeiro? She thinks your this scriptural genius (which you are) and she heard a rumor saying they are getting rid of ward mission leaders? She asked me to ask you about this.

Also, is it bad to leave my lap top off for a full year and a half?

Many people here feed us american food and its the best this week  I had tacos and stew. Voltareli jokes she misses brasillian food.

I need help. I've having a lot of problems with my comp. She jokes in a way that takes the spirit out of our companionship and when I seriously talked to her about it and nicely asked her to stop she got all defensive and told me I need to loosen up. The memeber think her way of joking is lame too. I'm trying to love and serve her the best I can but what else can I do?

I love you all!
