Howdy Fam,
Thanks for all the emails. Matt thats awesome about the backflips, I´m sure we´ll have some fun when I get home. Dad, thanks for the email. Crystal, good luck finishing Portuguese.
I´m not sure exactly where to start, life is just going great. We had three baptisms on Sunday and this week should be four or five. Gilberto Finally got back on Monday so they´re getting married Friday and baptized Sunday. The only down side is that I won´t be there to see it. Yup, I got transferred and I couldn´t have asked for a better one. I´m going to Porto Velho. That means I´ll be the only Elder in the mission that´s been to all four states. That´s not all. My companion is going to be Elder Brown who is Elder Sato´s friend that he told me about before I came on my mission. He´s a really cool guy, and I´m way excited. I´m flying out tomorrow afternoon.
Other than that, things are going well. We had our last zone conference with President Parrella on Monday, which was really good. I´ll miss him and Sister Parrella, but I´m sure that the next president will be great. You guys are in my prayers.
Love,
Elder Bangerter

good times and last conferences
Howdy Fam,
It sounds like things are going great, and that everything will be completely different when I get home. Everybody´s moving away! It´s all good though. Mom, say goodbye to everyone that´s moving for me.
As far as your questions mom. There are two zones here in Rio Branco, and each one has eight missionaries. When I got here the first time there was also another city about an hour and a half from here, but now they´re by themselves. Anyway, being a zone leader doesn´t change much. All we do is baptismal interviews, and training in the zone meetings on Mondays. In this area we also get everything ready for the zone conferences. President´s last conference will be monday and transfers will be on Wednesday. I don´t know if I´ll get transferred or not. Either way it will be cool. The mission had a record of baptisms this month 366. We had one baptism last week. This week will be good. We have two baptisms for sure and Gilberto should get back tomorrow so we´re going to marry and baptize them before I get transferred.
Anyway, I gotta run.
Love,
Elder Bangerter
