Elder Barnard's First Letter home!!!!

So after many many hours of flying and waiting around i made it to Brasil!! Sao paulo is not everything i thought it would be. just driving through the city you can see that there is literally jungles and woods randomly skattered in the city. My campanion is awesome. His name is Elder Tippets. he is from "everywhere". but he spent the last few months at BYU provo. I knew from the minute i met him in Georgia that he was going to be my companion here in the mtc for these 6 weeks. i just had the feeling ;) so i wasnt surprised to find out we would be companions. Theres a lot to talk about and not enough time to type everything but i just want to say that i am here, safe & sound and in one piece.The gospel is true and im really looking forward to serving the lord. Chow!!!
