From Kendra

He looks great!!

For those of you who don't know how to read "Samese", I have interpreted. I sent the attachment to show you his handwritten message, but like I say it isn't easy to read.

"Hello! I'm at my first Brazilian store next to the MTC. They are letting us send this for free. I sent you a short letter earlier so this should get to you earlier. I can email you on Wednesdays but only you and no friends. I'm learning Portuguese pretty fast. They have us go to about 12 hours of language class everyday. I absolutely love it here. The food is amazing. I've fallen in love with rice and beans. The weather is awesome too. It's about 55 F. I'll write more to you about the horrible experience I had at the airport. Talk to you then. I love you all!"
