An Update from Elder Tracy

Everyone is so sweet to ask about Landon and so here is a little blurb from his last letter. I'm not sure if he'll be ok with me sharing this as he did a little bragging but a mom has got to do what a mom has got to do! I love the part where he talks about being humble. I thought you might enjoy. He is definitely still our Landon. Never a dull moment I'm sure! (Please forgive his spelling and grammar)

Ive now been out 7 weeks today and its flying by. That really seems like a long time. I have 12 and 1/2 days left here and that gets me so flipping pumped. I cant wait to get into the field and do some good. Today i started off my day with a trip to the Sao Paulo temple which was fantastic. Its so beautiful inside. The temple is such a great experience. When we have the prayer at the end i get so excited because, as dad probably knows your vocabulary while your at the ctm isnt that great but your gospel vocab isn'too bad because all we do is hear about the gospel in Portuguese. So when they start praying i can understand it for the most part and they never forget to remember the missionaries in their prayers. I have so many people praying for me its so reassuring. I know that the lord is with me and he is constantly helping me because of all of you and the world. So the day always starts off good when you enter into the house of the Lord.

Anyway on sunday i got to bless the sacrament for the first time. It was such a neat experience. So after the meeting we had to have quick interviews because we get to be a part of the temple dedication of the curitiba temple. HOw freaking exciting is that. But we had to have a quick interview but when i was talking to him he started telling me how he felt the spirit while i was talking and how much he loved it. He is such a cool guy. Then he said, i dont know why im telling you this but i want you to know how likeable you are and how im really going to connect with the brazilians in the field and how it will help me in my success. I thought that was so cool. tHEN HE made another comment on my portuguese. I felt like i was on cloud nine. But i quickly came back cause if i didnt the lord would do it himself and thats never good.

I love the ctm but im very ready to get out there. This week we learned the 3 lesson in portuguese and its going great. Its about the gospel of Jesus Christ. Its great. I love the book of enos. It makes me really want to work on my faith because basically with faith anything is possible.

Eu tenho fe en jesus cristo e eu sei deus enviou seu filho a terra parra pagar o preço de nossos pecados. e se nos arrependemos por nossos pecados nos podemos voltar a presença de deus e vive com nossas familias parra sempre en felicidade. Theres a little testimony for you. Dad can you understand any of it. Well i love you guys so much and cant wait to hear from you next week. ATE LOGO!Love Elder Tracy
