This week was another good one. Everything here seems to be going more smoothly. One thing I've learned here is patience... big time. It’s good for me as I wasn't a very patient person before but now I'm getting a lot better with it. I'm a little frustrated with our branch and the Christmas party that they want to do. They want more than 16000 meticais to do a party which is more than $600. They want like 50 chickens 5 goats 15 liters of oil tons of drinks and a whole lot of other ridiculous things. I saw it this morning and I just laughed. So we are going to take it to the Mission Presidency and President Ross is going to chew them out. People here think the church has more money than it knows what to do with so when they get permission to use church money they go nuts.

Transfers are this week and a lot of stuff is going to happen. I am way excited! There will be 2 new areas opening and 5 new missionaries coming in. Our mission is growing a ton! It’s way cool to see it grow this much. I could stay or leave, go senior or not, it’s cool not knowing what will happen. I'll let you know next week what happens.

Right now I'm working with the primary... IT SUCKS! Well it’s not that bad. Be grateful you have a primary that is functioning. Ours right now is just a day care. The teachers don’t do anything and I'm trying really hard to get them to do even the little things. I'm really working hard to get them to have presidency meeting but I'm not sure how that will go.

Oh ya I forgot to answer moms question about the baptism if it was the first time I had baptized someone, no it isn't I've baptized a few of them. I always like to baptize people. I haven't confirmed anyone yet though. That’s about all I have this week. Thanks for all the news as well, I really like to read it. I can’t wait to talk to you guys here in a few weeks! I love you and I'm so grateful to be your filho! Have a good week!
Love Elder Filho
