Jared flew to Cuiaba yesterday. Met his mission president and spent the day in meetings, etc. But he had a fun thing happen. He asked someone if they knew Elder Winegar and he said Yes! Later he walked up to Jared and handed him the phone and it was Jeff!!
"He sounded so good! Elder Winegar kept saying 'I want to be your trainer!' That would be funny. It was nice to talk to him. He told me how he struggled with Portuguese..and how it will come - so I felt comforted"
Jared is now on his way from Cuiaba to his area in Rio Branco ( a 32 hour bus ride!) I will post his new address as soon as I get it.
