Michael: November 30, 2011

Dear family!
I hope thanksgiving was great and errbody be in the Christmas sprrit. I´ve been listening to Motab X-mas for a month now já. Yesterday was our Christmas zone-conference which was cool. We watched a movie that I think was made in 2000 where the quorum of the 12 and the First Presidency testify of Christ which was awesome.
We were teaching a 71 year old guy that is really funny. He fell off his roof and landed on a stake. He punctured his lung and is all stitched up but he´s a really healthy guy and anyway God spared his life. Since he isn´t working his wife dug up an old book for him to read. What book? An old Livro de Mormon thats been gathering dust for who knows how long. And the next day we showed up. The lessons were going well. He went to church with us and in both Elders quorum and Sunday School he introduced himself and lifted up his shirt for everyone to see ´´the map of Brazil´´ stitched on his back. (Its a big scar). Turns out though that he killed someone 6 years ago so won´t be getting baptised. During the lesson he reached into the couch cushion and showed us his pistol. We found a family of 7 yesterday and so far so good. A mom and her 6 kids from 8 - 20 something. Pretty sure everyone there is breaking the Law of Chastity but we´ll cross that bridge when we get to it.
*You know you´re a master teacher when you tell the first vision and the investigator says ´´Oh ya I heard Padre Marcelo recite that prayer on the TV the other day ´´

Nick- What´s the muppet movie about? Parabens ropin in those scholarships. I´ve got my eye on BYU but USU and UVU are in a close run for my back-up ´´plan´´.What´d Kumi say about me? What was she wearin? Did she have a ring on her left hand? Tell her to write ME! You should bear your testimony on Sunday. Maybe include the deed you done on black friday.

Natalie- The mangoes are fallin off the trees. A lady we taught gave us a bag of 50+ mangoes one day to take home. (the small kind, they´re only a little bigger than an average kiwi.)

Jor - The latest I will call you guys is 4:20 Brazil time. Tudo bem?
Well family. Things are going well. My companion Nephi is great. The member whose house were livingin is giving it a make-over so that´s snazzy.
20 Beijos e abraços. Um por cada um!
I love yáll
