Thank you so much for the extra prayers for me, I know that they are helping me a lot. I had a pretty good week this week. Thanksgiving went great! The only bad part was that cleaning the turkey took FOR EVER! but it turned out really good. I got a bunch of pictures of it. That’s cool to hear about all the stuff that Tyler and Kaylee are doing. Oh also I got the Christmas package on Thanksgiving Day! I'm so grateful for it! Thank you guys so much for sending it. All the wrapping had a bunch of holes in it so I can pretty much see everything that is wrapped but I'll still wait. Thank you so much for all the stuff you guys send!

I had the opportunity to baptize Joana. Everything went really well and I'm sure that she will be a strong member for life. Elder Naylor confirmed her yesterday. I like to baptize people it’s a cool experience. Zone conference and the interviews went pretty good as well. The best part of Zone Conference was the lunch that the couples made. They made a turkey dinner and it was really good even though we ate it 2 nights in a row.

We are working to try to find the inactive members here. There are a lot of them so it’s going to take a lot of work but I'm sure we can at least make a dent in it. We have 2 returned missionaries in our branch and so they are showing us to houses of members who were active before they left that have been all but forgotten. So we are working with them and trying to bring them back. I'm happy to say that it seems to be working. The people that we have visited a lot of them came to church yesterday.

Today we are having our turkey bowl and I'm way excited to play football. It’s my favorite p-day activity because it reminds me of Sunday family dinners playing football with everyone. I'm excited to get home and to do all that again. I'm so involved in the work that time is going by way fast for me. I'm excited to come home but I can tell already that I'm going to miss this place. Thanks again for everything you do for me. I'm so thankful to be your son. I'll call you here in 24 days!
Love Elder Filho
