My oldest daughter turned 18 yesterday. The next one in line turns 16 next month. It is hard to believe that I have kids that old, one on a mission, my youngest on his last year in elementary school. Here is Jacob's latest letter:

Oi minha família!

Hopefully all is well in your various parts of the U.S. Things are well here...I am getting a little antsy to get into the field (though I'm sure that after some time there I will wish I was back here). For those that haven't heard, we got our reassignments yesterday. I am going to the SLC South Mission until I get my visa. I honestly couldn't be anymore excited. The Lord knows me so well and I feel that the SLC South mission is perfect for me. I leave the MTC Tuesday at 5am.

Other than that, not too much to report. We had in-field orientation yesterday, which was a powerful spiritual learning experience. We talked about finding people to teach, faith, working with members, and they had lots of cool objects lessons to demonstrate everything. It was really cool.

We also got to see part of a film by T.C. Christensen and Rob Tanner, who made 17 Miracles. It is called "Ephraim's Rescue." I don't remember when it comes out on DVD so that those who don't live in Utah can see it, but for those that live here, Brother Tanner said that it is in theaters for a short while longer.

So, because everything that we do is rather unchanging, I don't have anything else to report today. Not this Monday but the next will be my next email, and then I will get to tell you what I have done in the field for a few days.

Anyway, I love you all and wish you all well. You are constantly in my prayers.

Até mais!

Elder Jacob C. Frei

He is doing really well, I am glad that he is willing and that he is better prepared than I was. 

Not sure why I thought of my blog today, but thought that I should put something on it.
