I have a story for you guys that I think you will like. So a few weeks ago some of the young women in my old branch (Beira 1) wanted me to bring some pictures from home to see pics of you guys and stuff. So Saturday I brought them, they were going through it and then they got to a picture of Tyler...they went NUTS!!!!They all started fighting over looking at the picture screaming yelling I think I even saw some elbows thrown. They all think he is the hottest guy they have ever seen! They all told me that they wanted to marry him then they started fighting again about who would marry him. So Tyler pretty much has his choice of girls here in Mozambique. They made me take pictures of them to send to Tyler so he could "choose" as they said it. Then I told them that he might come with you guys to pick me up and they went nuts again. They asked if he spoke Portuguese and when I told them no they just said "that’s ok I speak enough English just to say I love you." It was pretty funny. I'll work on that picture and then Tyler can choose which one he wants.

We went to go find inactive members and we found one named Joaquina. Her husband died and she was left to take care of the kids and because of her work schedule she couldn't go to church and after she was able to again it had already been a while so she didn’t come back. But we taught her and got her coming to church again. I talked to the Branch President to get her a calling in the Primary as one of the teachers. So this week she was sustained one of the primary teachers. She did great! She is already working wonders in the primary here. Its great to see things like this happen.

Ok so transfers. I did get transferred. I am going to the other side of the branch so I still stay in the same house and same branch but it’s a new area. Also the 2 missionaries there were transferred so me and another missionary from Maputo Elder Jenson will white wash the area. I'm pretty excited, from what I hear Elder Jenson is a good guy and I'm sure we'll get along great. I'm kinda sad to leave my area because we have 3 people with baptism dates and many more progressing. But at least I'm in the same branch so I can still see them.

Anyways, thanks for the letters and insights. I hope that everyone is doing good back at home and that everyone is happy, healthy, and enjoying the cold weather. I'm very excited to talk to you guys and we can talk for a lot longer this time so buy a lot of time on that phone card! I love you and I'm so grateful to be your son!
Love, Elder Filho
