Era bom ouvir-se outra vez de você e eu gosto das fotos. Eu espero que seu brasileiro esteja melhorando embora se tem que dizer que sua escrita inglesa está começando mais má.

Fazendo lotes dos trabalhos em torno da casa e do jardim. Plantando cargas dos vegetais, albeit eu não sou tão bom quanto você nele, quando você o retorna pode fazer exame sobre.

Amanhã eu estou fazendo exame de seu vôo da mãe, estará pilotando o plano mas eu não irei acima com ela, esperança que se levanta e se traga ESTÁ BEM me estará esperando na barra.
