Just call her a duck, cause she ain't no goose! -November 24, 2014

Well Family,

It was good to hear from all of you. Glad to here you are all having a BLAST without me! Just kidding! But it is good to hear from everyone, and finally know that you are doing good. 
Julie-- FINALLY you have been converted to Gilmore Girls, thank heavens. 

This week was great! We were able to get a lot of work done. This week, we had one investigator finally go to church!!!! So he is the spouse of a recent convert from 2 transfers ago, and they haven't been able to get him, and when I arrived, we really started working with him. And finally this sunday he went to church! And he LOVED it!!!!! His name is Antonio Filho (Its like Antonio Jr.) and he is great. His wife and his brother-in-law are recent converts. Carlinhos (brother in law) has been going out and teaching with us, and it has been really cool. This week he had his 1 month as a member anniversary. But it looks like he has years. He is 24, and thinking about serving a mission. Which would be awesome, because his testimony is INCREDIBLE. He is always bearing his testimonies with his friends/co-workers. We are teaching his friend, Wellington. It has been awesome working and seeing Carlinhos and everybody grow!

This week, was also a big week for Nilson. He is going to be baptized December 7th. He is a shy kid, with hardly nobody in his life. And he has been working really hard on stopping smoking and drinking coffee. It was been a wonderful experience seeing him adapt his life with the gospel principles. It is amazing, how the spirit can testify so quickly for somebody, and they are willing to drop life-time habits so quickly. 

Today we had a Zone Activity------where we played....MAFIA!!! I was dying, lets be honesty, I was super good because I have had a LOT of practice! But I couldn't just help to walk down memory lane a little bit thinking of my big family back there in the states. 
Anyways, I am good. Listening to Christmas music all the time....and sweating....all the time! 

Sorry this week was so short. It is because we only have 1 hour now to write and do everything...so its like we have no time at all. Literally.

LOVE YOU ALL! Next week--- Transfers.

Renata! She got us this cake!!! 

Saying goodbye to Tati and Bea.....hardest thing ever!
