Dear Breinholt Family,
We are pleased to inform you of the great progress that your son has made in the
past few months with us, so much that the Lord has chosen to call him to be a District
Leader.
The responsibilities of a district leader are to train, supervise, motivate, and inspire
the missionaries in his district. He has been working very hard and is an example to
the other missionaries. We expect him to also continue with his own fine proselyting
efforts. Please encourage him to continue to work hard.
The Lord is very pleased with your son. We know that through his diligent efforts,
his influence will greatly enrich the lives of each member in his district. All the
missionaries in his district are working diligently to help build the Kingdom of our Father
in Heaven.
May the Lord continue to bless you and your son through his constant efforts, is our
Sincerely,
President Myrrha

Sorry but this one will be short too :(
Dear Family...
It’s 5:39 and p-day will be over at six, so I have to write a short note. Really it was a planning error. This morning we decided to clean our house...it was super messy...now it’s less messy.
So you already know that I got called District Leader...yeah...its super stressful. My district happens to include our housemates...the ZLs and a companionship of sisters. But I know the Lord will make me able.
My companion is the coolest companion I’ve had to date...Elder Bernardo...he speaks English pretty well...and he's learning Hebrew. He is from Sao Paulo and looks Jewish so I call him my Israeli Assassin. He’s the man!
The ward is good I guess. Yesterday was really cold so not many people came to church...it was kinda sad... but we'll get it back going.
I love you all and I swear that I’ll write a HUGE LETTER NEXT WEEK! (with Pictures)
Sorry I gotta go...but you gotta be obedient eh?!?!
I love you all, and pray for you every day!
Elder Jed Breinholt

Fam...
Today will be short...due to the fact that I will be getting transferred to Santa Maria and I have a ton of stuff to pack.
My new companion will be Elder Bernardo. He has about 4 months on the mission. It will be a good experience for me...working in my first ward...since I got on the mission.
I will miss this branch...it’s a good branch...the members are really nice. But I love you all and I'll talk to you next week.
btw i got a dvd together...lost some stuff...due to corruption of the data...but I’ll send it.
Love you all!
Elder Jed Breinholt
I spent the week at Girls Camp this week so I'm late posting again! The thing I like about him being in Santa Maria is that he can get his packages sooner! YEA!

Sorry it's a late post...
Dear Family,
This week has been good...weve been having some on and off success. This whole transfer has been like that...transfers are coming up this next week, so we'll see what happens. This week the letter is going to be a lot shorter because I don't have a lot of time. President cut time down to 1 hour. So I don't have a lot of time to do anything. But I love you all and I am alive.
Elder Jed Breinholt
Sorry about the late post I was in DC all week helping Elisabeth and Bobby move into their new apartment. We will all be at Girls Camp and Boy Scout Camp next week so it will be a late post this next week too. I'm not even sure when I'll get to read his letter.

Family...
Hey Family!
This is your long lost rice and beaned son!
This week has been super good, I've been really happy this whole week. I dont know why it' s just been a really good week I guess. We had zone conference.
Got the packages. Thank you! I really like the shoes thank you. But I do have one question what's with the organic oatmeal?! No but it's good I just got a little confused as to why it's organic. The pants fit great and I like them. The Preach My Gospel is great and so is the Gospel Art Book. Great helps. But I now know that Ben likes monkeys and his handwriting is horrible! Just kidding.
The other package got here too so I'll get that sent on here soon! (A Portuguese Hymn Book with their name on it and Gospel Art Book for the dos Santos family in Quarai)
But life is really good. Jose was baptized with water and with the Holy Ghost. Good kid!
We are slowly have more and more successes here in Sao Borja. It's going good almost all of our investigators are coming from referrals its good! Really good!! Transfers are here in 2 weeks lets see what happens but I think that Ill stay!
But thats it.
Love you all!
Elder Jed Breinholt
The organic oatmeal was just a box of the different flavored packets that I bought at Costco. I tried to think of everything warm to send him. Hot chocolate, hot cider & hot oatmeal! I sent him a new Preach My Gospel in Portuguese. I took it and had the covers laminated with hard plastic then they put the spiral binding back on. He did this to his English one before he left so he asked me to do it to that one too. They are in and out of his backpack so this helps the covers last longer. I also did it to the new Gospel Art Book and sent him one of those too. We took sticky notes and put notes throughout his Preach My Gospel book I guess Ben put one in that said, "I like monkeys". He (Ben) is such a 12 year old!
As a side note on the package information, I sent it just Priority Mail not Global Express and it got there just fine. It was cheaper but I couldn't track it so it was a little scary for me. But all is well he got it just fine.

Good Times!
First off...Dan if you are still checking in and reading this blog. Elder Breinholt talked to Alfonso yesterday at church. He's doing good! His sister Fernanda did move away and is married.
This week has been super good...taught a lot and found some really good people.
Jose is progressing and will be baptized Saturday. It has been really good to teach him. It's a good feeling to find people prepared! Also Natielle the sister of Joao Batista should be baptized in 2 weeks...
This week we had 93 people in Sacrament Meeting! It is going good...gotta keep the rhythm going! It's good and getting better all the time. But I love you all and talk to you next week!
Elder Jed Breinholt
Fun morning for us! We were on when Jed was on so we e-mailed back and forth for a bit. He talked to Annie and Ben and told Abi if she doesn't write him next week he's going to send her an internet punch! He's cold but well and happy. I was worried he was sick but he says he hasn't been "sick sick" his whole mission. He's not felt well a couple of times, but never been really ill. He definately called it a blessing. He told me I wouldn't like how long his letter was and he was right but I guess we made up for it being able to "chat" a bit.
