Oi familia
Well we had transfers this week and I stayed but my comp Elder Cunha went. But hes going to like his next area in Mossoró Belo Horizonte.  That was where I started my mission. My new comp is Elder A. Santos. He's from the same group as my last comp and only has 4 months in the mission. He's really cool and he knows how to play the ukulele (I dont know how to spell it hah) and also Elder J. Santos is living with us. The cool thing is that when I started my mish he was living with me and now when he's in his last house we're living together again. Also the Sisters that started with me in my group at the CTM went home.  It's so weird to think about it, but it's getting close.

One of the areas in the zone closed because there wasn't alot of missionaries arriving. So my district got bigger and I have 6 people in my disrtict now with the zone leaders. But last week went well. It was hard to get people to go to church because we had stake conference  which was on the other side of town . But we still brought a bunch of reccent converts and a kid named Lucas who will be baptized this week. We dont have a bunch of investigators but that's usually normal when transfers happen. So pray for us this week that we'll beable to find more families to teach!

Thats cool that you guys went up on the Rim and went camping last weekend, send pics! I'm going to go eat.

Love you guys send me pics of Robbi's wedding and tell her congrats!

I'm Alive!!!!
Sorry i didnt get to email you guys last week. My comp and I were going to pass the internet place early in the morning but we thought we would after we went out to eat with our zls but turned out that where we went was too far so it took a while to get back home. But I'm all good. I was a lil sick last week but I'm already better. My back just hurts a ton because last night I slept in the hammock to get a nice breeze haha. But now I'm paying for it. 

So let me tell you guys last week we had two baptisms and also two more this week we baptised 3 more young women and a teenager alil older than gav hes 16. his name is J

onathan. hes super cool he plays soccer really good and hes planningon one day going to the usa so i have been giving him a bunch of books that i found in the house for him to study english and giving tips. its so cool im going to try to get him to apply for byu. but last week we had interviews with pres our last one with him before he goes but well have one last conference next month so im pretty sad about that but itll be all good. 

But this week we have been working really hard with the people we baptized and also to find new people because maybe ill be leaving so i wanted to leave a good group for my comp. My comp doesnt want me to leave because this was his best transfer as a missionary. But if I leave at least he grabbed the vision. haha 

You guys always tell me I only have a lil bit left in my mission but it still hasnt hit me. I feel like this is my life now. I dont ever feel like I'm going home. But dont worry dad ill finish strong I've set some goals in my mission that i havent accomplished yet so if i want to i have to haul.

But thats cool that you are in Idaho. Tell Shayne congrats from me! And thats cool about Mason. Let me know where he ends up going because i always talk about him to people. Everyone usually asks about our Military so I always tell everyone that my cousin Mason is serving.

But I love you guys I'll send pics of the baptisms

Oi fam!!!!
My new area!!!! Nova Natal! finally i got to come back to the captial in Natal.  The weather here is so much better ha ha! i haven't sweat once. My new comp is Elder Cunha he only has 3 months in the mission and I'm already seeing that this transfer will be good. We already connected on the first day. He's from Belem where there is going to be a new temple built. He is really prideful about that. So i had to tell him that in AZ we have 6!

Here all the zones of all of the areas are super close unlike in my last area where you have to grab a bus for at least one hour. We get to do lots of stuff together as missionaries like play basketball or volleyball every morning. I know a bunch of people here in this zone and my zone leader is from Mesa AZ. But I'm pretty excited for this transfer I was super tired in my last area.

This week was more about getting to know everyone in my new area here in Natal.  The church is alot stronger and i finally returned to a ward and a frecuncy of 100 members. We dont have a very big group to teach but this week we will focus alot on this and bring more people to church.

Im glad you got to go to Portland last weekend. The Nike company store sounds awesome! But, caraca did dad get a raise?  You bought 18 pairs of Nike shoes??... I hope I got a pair ha ha! If you bought me something leave it at home- but hide them! Portland looks so cool! I've never went there right? I don't think so.

Keaton and Kholer are going to be home so soon!! Only 2 more months?! Time flys.  i was thinking about this the other day.  I only have like 6 more months left to be a missionary so I can't mess around!  I want to make the best out of my last 6 months here.

But women's conference will be cool, mom. You'll have fun. We need to plan something when i get home.  I want to go to General Conference at least one time.  Gavin has been telling me i have to stay in AZ when i get home haha!  i think i want to go to CGCC at least to finish the semester there. When do classes start-in January? Have you guys talked with the Wolff's in awhile? I sent a message to Wolff last week but didn't hear anything back.
I love you guys- until next week!!
