(This is the first letter Riley sent from the MTC. It is a handwritten letter that I'm transcribing!)
Dear Family!
Well, this is my first letter home, and I have already talked to Mom on the phone! Well, it's almost 11am and the day has been pretty eventful. My companion, Elder Baguley and I, had different schedules! So we were very confused as to which we should be following. So we went to the scheduling office and it turns out, Elder Baguley was switched to be my companion because both of our visas have come through, and we will be eaving on Tuesday! How exciting! Well, I've enjoyed finding little notes throughout my things, and I'm sure there is a lot I haven't found yet. My companion, Elder Baguley (prounounced Bag-lee) is pretty cool. He's from Idaho, come place called Fruitland. And he plays the uke also! How cool is that?! Well, I'm glad I brought the things I did.
Sorry, I'm kinda all over the place in this letter. Well yesterday, I was a little intimidated because when I walked into the classroom, the teacher would pretty much only spoke Portuguese. Wow. And now I only have 5 days to learn as much of it as I can [for] when I go to Sao Paulo! I'm so excited to go down there already!
Well, I got distrcted because I had to change for gym. Soccer time! Hopefully this will get to you soon. You'll probably need to wait [to write] until I'm in Brazil.
Well. Love you all!
I'm so excited!
Love, Elder Woodmansee
