Everything here is going well. The office work is hard but I enjoy it. We don't get to teach much but I'm still enjoying the work. I'm happy to say that it doesn't rain as much here as it did in the jungle. It also isn't as hot which makes things easier on me.

Transfer meeting was Saturday. It's kinda lost its zing now that I know everything that is going to happen, but it was still fun. Elder Brower my old comp from the MTC will be walking with us for 3 weeks and then after another missionary leaves three weeks early Elder Brower will take his spot. So I'll be Brower's comp again for a few weeks. It's cool being in the office because I know a ton of stuff that is going to happen that no one else knows. Its just kinda cool to see peoples reactions when they do find out especially with transfers. As for my other MTC buddies, Elder Spaulding is going to go to my old area in Beira and be in the branch presidency which is pretty cool. He's going to serve in the jungle area I was in in Manga. Elder Clegg will be training this transfer as well which is cool.

Our investigators didn't come to church again this week We'll see what happened. Their names are Tanha (Tanya) and Nelsia. They are way smart and really fun to teach. It took 2 weeks to get through the 2nd lesson with them because they asked so many questions. Hopefully they progress. But we will go to a new area and get a bunch of new investigators this transfer. I'm excited to work in this new area. The missionaries who were there said it was a very good area with alot of good people. We are starting to get more and more caught up in the office but there is still alot of stuff to do.

Here we did hear alot about Obama's speech. It's kinda funny yesterday I saw a magazine that had a picture of Obama that said "O Presidente do Mundo!" (president of the world) People here went nuts when they found out that we have a black president! Everyone thinks that because he's black he will "flood the streets of Mozambique with American money!" Just because he's black apparently he is going to give all the Africans a bunch of money. Ha ha I think they are going to be dissapointed. Oh well, Everything is going really well here, I still like the work alot and I'm happy with what I am doing. Anyways I have to run, but I hope you guys have a good week! Love you all! Love, Elder Filho
