Dad,
I still havent gotten my debit card, but usually these things take 2 weeks or so to arrive and then I get it when we have some kind of conference or when my district or zone leader goes to Santos to pick up things in the mission office. It should probably arrive soon!

We had a great mission conference yesterday saying goodbye to Presidente and Sister Cabral, which was actually pretty dang sad, but super great. We have another conference tomorrow to meet Presidente Obata, so that should be awesome as well! So you saw the video of us singing? hahahah Soooo many missionaries and yes, you probably at least saw my hair, I was in the second row close to the end of the line on the right hand side if you're facing the photo....I pretty much always end up in the same placce.

Man! One of the things I miss most is Musicals!! And I LOVE the song Luck be a Lady, because I always listened to a lot of Frank Sinatra and I just wish I could be there to see Guys and Dolls! Also, I just wanna see Wicked again and Phantom of the Opera, and I want Chess to return to broadway and a whole lot of other things, but who knows where life will lead hahahhaa

So this week we had lunch at this irmão from the wards house and THEY ARE LOADED. Literally, we had to walk to a pretty far part of our area and wait for them at a gate to come pick us up in their car and literally it is the fanciest house I have ever seen in my life. It is like a smaller version of the beach houses we rent, but even fancier, sitting on this hill over the ocean and WOW. But walking there, while trying to take pictures I dropped my camera and now it isnt working correctly.....when I get my debit card I'll take it to some place to see what the problem is, because its working, its just the zoom isnt opening or closing, so I cant take pictures, but we have some pictures here from the camera of Sister Costa, so I'll send what I can hahahaha

LOVE AND MISS YOU GUYS SO MUCH!!!!!!!

Até mais, Pai!!! Te amo demais!

Mom,

I am alive and healthy and gooooood! Hahahahah honestly, this has happened a few times and usually it is like a day. I don't really throw up a ton of food, usually it ends up mucus and such, so for me it doesn't seem like an infection or flu kind of thing.
 Mom, I read in a Liahona the other day that you can request the Patriarchal blessings of deceased family members!!! Just go to apps.LDS.org/PBrequest and I want you to send me Grandma Shelton's and others if there are more! That would just be amazing if you could:)  I wish soooo much I could have seen the musical, foreals! And, I also miss how our family is just always partying and doing something! You and Dad really are pretty dang awesome and foreals, how did you raise all 8 of us to stay in the Gospel, because you know that does not happen a lot in the church. Also, how did you know Dad was following the Gospel and was truly going to stay firm and wasn't being too influenced by being in love with you? Being a missionary, I now think a lot about these things, especially Dad's conversion and you all getting married and such. hahahahha I want answers! Especially from your perspective-being the person who truly introduced him to the Gospel and ended up raising this family together. You guys are just the best and I love the mission, but wow I am excited one day to come home and go to Rikishis too! Also, HAWAII woohoooo hahahahha! Tomorrow, we meet the new Presidente so that will be crazy! I'm sure I'll have all sorts of updates next week! LOVE YOU SOOOOO MUCH and also, I made the pancakes and the chocolate cake and they both made a big hit hahahaha always great! 

And yes, I am fat. 

Much love,

Sister Beans Neal 

Also, someone please introduce the missionaries from Crestwood 2nd ward to Chris! You all can tell him that I said he needs to meet with the missionaries at least 3 times if he wants me to ever talk to him again. You can even print this and prove to him that I said this.

LOVE YOU GUYS
