Christian is doing great!!!! AGAIN

Personal: I am gad that Uncle Howard can be with Aunt Artele again, that makes me happy. Sorry, the correios have been on strike so it has been tough to send letters, but I sent off a letter to you guys as a response to the letters from Dad´s family, next week I will send letters to Mom´s family. Can you guys tell me when the letters get there? Wow, Uncle Howard really passed away, and you guys ran into Torben!!!! Justin destroyed in his football game, wow this is a crazy week, but boy am I pumped, next week is conference!!!! I feel bad that Auna hurt her knee, I hope she feels better, tell uncle Mark I am giving them Heaven out here haha, That was so cool of him to come and visit me the day I went on my mission, and I am not gonna lie, I got my wisdom teeth pulled and that was kinda painful, but it sure was cool hanging out with Uncle Mark and aunt Auna, it made getting my teeth pulled a party, next time I lose a tooth I am totally gonna kick it with them haha. But yeah, life is good here, I am giving all of my heart, might, mind, and strength, the mission is a blast, my comp, Elder Garrett is getting real close to the end, but he is a mighty missionary we are still working our tails off. I love you family, I hope the best for all of you! -Elder McOmber

Christian gets the letters, and he appreciates every one of them!

I am sorry if my email didn´t get home last week, I know that I sent one!! Well, I want to start off by thanking the sacrafice of everyone that has been sending me letters, I am honestly trying to find time to respond to all of you individually!!! (Ma and Dad, please tell your families that I have recieved their letters, and I am very excited to respond to Ethan´s questions, I am proud of his faith!!)

Well, this week we baptised the rest of Selande´s grandchildren, they are amazing kids, I have been giving them parts to read from the book of Mormon, and Daniel, who is 10 has been explaining to me in detail what he read, I asked him, so why can´t the zoramites go into the synagogues and he said, "Porque eles são pobres de mais" haha, I wish you could see him in my english class, he is a little star!! Selande dragged us to her school this week, we met her teacher who explained to us that when everyone comes to class she invites everyone to church and stands up and starts preaching. haha She is so spunky, I knew that Heavenly Father was preparing me for these people, but I never realized how much these people were going to remind me of my family back home!!

I am so proud to hear about everyone´s successes and triumphs, I am so happy to have been born into such an extraordinary family, and to have been blessed with so many supportive friends, a friend of mine sent me something that I think is perfect for all of you, "Moments are the molecules that make up eternity" I want you all to know that when it gets hard I think of the moments, and it gives me the strength to keep going, I love all of you so much!!!

dedication to Lizaron, and Geovanio the Great!

Sorry, I am not able to send a picture of (sorry I spelled it wrong before) Geovanio this week, but I will send a lot more pictures next week, I sent you guys some pictures from his baptism, he is wearing a black shirt and my copanion and I are hugging him, look through the pictures I sent you guys a month ago, I know that it is there. But no worries I will send you more!

Also, please send a hug to Nicole, Dawn, Fanda, and Martin, I miss them too!!

Ma, when I read your email I was imagining you all tired from the good life, everyone sleeping but you. I am so grateful that I have so many little cousins praying for me, I am sure that has been helping me in ways that I can´t always see!! And also, thank you so much for praying for Geovanio, I will definately tell him that you guys are praying, I hope some day you can all meet him, you guys would LOVEEE him, he is way cool, and hilarious!! I was thinking a lot about the family, and I was thinking about who I would dedicate this next month to, I looked down at my bedsheets signed by everyone, then I recieved my revelation kkk I saw a little note that read "Dunk someone for me- Zaron", so it is decided, this next month I am dedicating to Aunt Liz, Uncle Zaron, Corban, Liam supriam, e Charlotte!

This week was awesome, we baptised a man named Laelson, he is Selande´s son, he is the Man, he reminds me a lot of Uncle Alan. I wish so bad that you could all meet these awesome people!!! But yeah, he was baptised and it was a very special day for everyone, he was even baptised on Selande´s birthday, so he was baptised and after that we surprised Seland with brownies, and some members got some cool food too and we had a mini party, then I had my English class, everyone is starting to speak very well, and Pedro, who studies English in school said that he scored higher than his whole class in some big test, his teacher was so impressed and so he told her about the english class, she said she will come this saturday, I am pumped to meet her!!

I love Penedo, I hope I never leave!!!

You are the best family ever, I think about all of you all the time, much love!
