When do you guys go out there? Who else is going to be out there?
The
Christmas spirit is a little more distant when I sweating and there are
forest fires, but it's a good thing Christmas depends on the date and
not the weather. But I'm pumped, we're sharing a bunch of Christmas
videos already with people, they are so great.
I'm going to
be honest I don't think I'm going to eat Thanksgiving dinner this year.
But based on my track record with Thanksgiving dinners I think that'll
be a good thing for me. But that'll be fun, send me some pictures. Whose
coming over?
I can print here, if you ever
want to suggest a talk I can print things here so I can just print it
out here.
This week we taught a guy named Samuel. We taught
him in the chapel and it went really well he wants to read the Book of
Mormon and everything. he accepted a baptismal date for the 11th of December.
Then he told us he plays piano so we let him play on the piano in the
chapel and holy cow I almost cried. He is a master. It was crazy he's
like Mozart reincarnated. We're going to teach him again today so we'll
see how it went with the Book of Mormon.
But that was pretty much the week, it's crazy how December is already coming up.
Love you guys!!!

The members here that make us their family 5. Completos (google it) 6. The Scriptures 7. My companion Elder Almeida 8. And obviously the Atonement and Jesus Christ

> Fun... Do you remember when you were a kid and your parents always talked forever (like at the end of church) and you would get annoyed and ask them why they just talked and they said "This is what adults do for fun." The fun on the mission is usually "Missionary fun" But we play soccer on p-days and eat and that's about it haha.

And we try to get to know them in 30 seconds and then teach them something small to hook them on the Gospel and see if we can share more. But it still feels awkward to just talk to random people on the street. It doesn't scare me as much anymore haha.
