It was so good to see you all yesterday!
I was so happy talking to you guys... i don't think you have any idea! :) I 
really am starting to feel the joy that the gospel brings to my life. I have 
never been happier than i am right now. I have wonderful friends that have the 
same standards as me. They push me to be better and when i am around them i want 
to be better. WE want to be better. We work hard, but i have never had a comp 
like i had here in itaum (my current area... i will be transferred tonight). he 
is a stud that has really inspired me, but i also see why i was called to be 
with him. I have spoken very little if hardly any english in the last year, but 
i had some long conversations in english with Elder Luschin that helped me a lot 
as a missionary and as a person. it's funny how your personality can change 
because of the language. Speaking in english (just a little!) helped me realize 
i am still a goof ball and life isn't all serious. However, bearing my testimony 
in english solidified the testimony i bear daily in portugues. how cool is that? 
for almost 2 years i have born my testimony almost every single day... what a 
great blessing. I love you guys! I love you all soooo much! work hard, have fun, 
and be true to who and what you are! 
Abraço,
-Élder Grondel jr.
