Oi Tudo Mundo,

     It has been another great week at the MTC. Elder Christensen had surgery on a cyst on his pinky and he is doing good. During the surgery they brought me soda and snacks and I got to study my portuguese a lot, it was fantastic.
   Since we have been here almost two weeks longer than we were supposed to be we get to volunteer and help teach new missionaries starter portuguese. The language is going great and There is an Elder from Brazil who is going to New York who we teach sometimes. His name is Elder Dos Anjos, which means "Of the Angels". To all who hear or read this message: I am sending Jamieson Ogle and his mother Terri two Books of Mormon. In the letter I bore my testimony and asked them to read and pray. I prayed a lot about this and I know that the Spirit of the Lord was with me as I wrote. But now, I turn it over to you. Please, Please Please! Be the missionaries you need to be and be a friend and fellowship the Ogles. The main reason poeple become inactive after they join the church is because they don't have a friend in the gospel to build them up. This family could to a great work, don't deprive them of the knowledge and love that you have, please.
     That has been on my mind a lot lately and to show the importance of that I will end my email here. BE MISSIONARIES. FELLOWSHIP. Welcome new members into the Saviors fold as he would. With love, patience, charity, and a smile. "O be wise, what more can I say"

Com Amor,
       Elder Nothum
