This week was pretty eventful. We recieved the news that Elder Carvalho and I will be splitting up. He will be serving in Piracicaba while i will stay here and train a new missionary. I am excited and nervous at the same time. i hope he is a brazilian native. the language is coming along. I say that every email i know but there is always so much to learn. I feel comforable talking to people its just the specifics i dont know. Sometimes i get discouraged, but then i remember being discouraged is a choice and so i try to think positive and i realized im doing it i think to myself " Well, you know more words today than you did yesterday, it should be that much easier". "By small and simple things are great things brought to pass" Next week i will talk about the people we are teaching and finding. In the meantime, i thought i would send some pictures.
Sincerely,
Elder Kochenderfer
