Hey everybody. This is Rhett....posting on my blog for the first time since ive been gone. I've been in the MTC (Missionary Training Center) for like 17 days now or something. Its beginning to be more normal. The schedule here really got me at first. Wake up at 6:30, get ready, go to class, go to breakfast at 8:15, go to class again till lunch at 1. Go to gym after lunch, class from 3 to dinner at 6. Then from dinner to 9 it is personal/companionship and language study time. w00t! then Daily Planning for tomorrow and get ready for bed, quiet time at 10:15 and lights out at 10:30. Pretty crazy, but Ive learned ALOT here. I'm almost semi conversational. like maybe i could carry on a conversation with a 5 year old native child from portugal lol. Its hard work, but its fun also. My companion is pretty cool, though my knees are getting a work out cuz of his long prayers...i think the shortest one he's said is 3 minutes....longest maybe 10. But its good. I'm learning alot how to teach and have daily teaching scenarios. They are cool. The MTC is changing up their syllabus, we now only teach the first two lessons (The restoration of the church and the Plan of Salvation) in the practice scenerios....the other lessons we wont get to actually practise until i'm out in the field.
Anyway.....time is running out...i only have a 30 minute time limit to type email here......and i'm not able to view the blog...just post through email
I'll post prolly next friday!
Paz Fora!

Elder Rhett you are the very best! You should write a blog in Portuguese and let us work on understanding it!
The one thing I did not understand is that you said that you had time every day to plan the next day - isn't this already done for you?!
Things are well at home. Mom, Aisha, Jaja, and the Ben are all off to AZ and running camp and then Dallas for the next couple of weeks. Shea and I are 'baching' it! He will be home everyday cleaning, mowing the lawn, weeding and doing various chores - he cannot wait.
the family festival is starting this week. Lot's of fun activities.
David Bunker needs to have a referral for his website to help him - any names?!
We love you and pray daily for your success!
Forca la com firmeza e fe'!
Your pai'
