Familia! Hey how is it going this week? I'm struggling having the focus to write today ha but because you like to hear how I'm doing and because it's a commandment to write I will. So this week has been pretty eventful ha so lets begin day by day. First tuesday Oct. 11 we went to the ear doctor but thats old news. After we went to pizza hut and ate rodizio style! It was so very good! They brought pizzas around and you could take as much as you wanted! Then they had a chocolate pizza that was very good! Then at eleven o'clock we got on our bus and left back to Itacoatiara arriving 3 o'clock in the morning ha woot! (Mom note: They had to go into Manaus to an ear specialist) Elder Garrett has a new comp. He seems cool. He studied in Utah for 1 year, he is brasilian, so thats cool. I'm pretty excited to spend one more transfer with De Cunha. He's a really good companion and while ya have a good one dont complain haha. Wow so really don't have anything else this week. Oh our batisimo her name was tatila (pronounced tatchilla) We started out teaching her grandpa but she wanted to hear too so then her grandpa moved, but she stayed really firm. She was having alot of problems with thinking she hadn't received an answer, but she really already had we just had to show her that. So then while we were in Mnaus one of the families in our ward just got back from getting sealed and bore their testimonies and said things your not supposed to say so....our investigator had alot of questions when we returned ha but we got it all worked out. Then at her baptism we had her family there which is really rare and the dad started to cry. It was really spiritual! The young women sang a special number. Very cool! Were now going to start teaching the dad & mom. So thats where we are now. We have to receive lots of news now to get the ward going again, but I think that's all for this week. Sorry it's shorter. I want to get it in the mail before bairro da paz today, and nothing really happened. Take Care Love You all Tchau! Elder Deakin I want to hear how you guys interpret this scripture! Prov. 3:19 Study it hard its a deep one! I promise next weeks letters will be better & have 1 for the whole family! Oh also I figured out what I would like for Christmas about 200 photos of all sorts of things family, friends, house, town, just all sorts alright thats all I want for Christmas! :) Tchau
