Me and some Rum hahah

Well goodness haha i hate transfer week it always feels like the longest week ever!! But anyways haha how is everyone doing? Sounds like a lot of fun with stitches and surgery and all that good stuff haha!! Wow haha gotta love those experinces! haha but everything is going good out here! Last time I think I said we have a baptisimal date set with Anton and I think that it will be on Dec 18th hopefully which is good! This week Elder Dos Santos and I helped with alot of stuff with service, moving all the missionarys luggage with the office missionaries, hanging chirstmas lights for our neighbors and other stuff it was really nice! So Elder Maxfield got a new companion this week and his name is Elder Yurevich and he is from Beliruse, yep right next to russia which is really cool considering we have a russian investigator that he can help us to make sure he understands everything correctly. He has been out about a year and a month so only 6th months a head of me haha but he's a really hard worker and a good guy! This week me and Dos Santos will be dropping a bunch of our etern-igators ( investigators that have been investigating for an eternity haha) so we will have to go back into finding mode and stuff which should be intense! But on the bright side we got a new investigator this week named Juan Carlos and he is from the Dominican Rep. he should be pretty solid I think so that is going to be good I hope! This week I also went to my first ever catholic mass haha and it was intense!! Everyone was just like stareing at me and Elder Dos Santos because we were in suits and sat right in the back haha the meeting was okay just seemed very dark and sad the entire time which was different from our meetings haha I figured it was because the spirit wasn't there. but yeah that was our week! I bore my testimony yesterday in sacrament meeting and I spoke portugues for the members that don't speak and understand english that well and it was great! I love bearing my testimony with people! I was wishing I would have taught more with Dad before I came out during home teaching and stuff because that really prepares you for the mission and not being afaid to say what you believe! Teaching is amazing I love the feeling I get when i get to talk to people who haven't heard anything about the gospel and being able to tell them that THIS WILL make you happy, and to promise them that is awesome!! But yeah anyways Mom if you could send me out a copy of the Littlest angel that would make me really happy! I want to use it in the lessons this chirstmas season! also you should get dos santos a snuggie because he doesn't know if his parents are sending anything but he is to prideful and says all he wants for chirstmas is his mission haha so that would be something mom!! I love you all and I'll be seeing you!!! ( gotta love the notebook huh)
