Family! Hey hows the Griswalds hoje! Everything is great. We are working really hard. We had an activity here in the church and had 300+ people there to contact. We had 42 contacts and lessons. It was cool. I really feel that my language really took off these last few days. My comp doesn't speak english so it's just portuguese but it's good. I've really felt that the members really have taken to me since da Cunha left. The members are great. I really am going to miss this town. It's all I know, but it will be cool to have a new area. I received a letter from the Stake Relief Society. It was nice they thought of me. It's also really nice to hear of those people that ask about me. Nice to know I am remembered haha. I'm really excited to receive photos. I hope I receive them soon! Also I'm preparing a package to send when I leave here. It will have some surprise presents for you all. So this last week we had a wedding for Rosanere & Romarito. It was cool. I played the piano for them, I was very happy! They have been together almost 2 years and one day we got there to get money for lunch and said you gotta get married. He said "yeah, so we marked the date. It's awesome! Then we have 3 baptisms this week and the other branch has 6 so 9 all together! Holy cow it will be awesome! Also this week we had 11/11/11 and @ 11/11 I made a wish! That was alot of ones! haha Elder Leno is very cool. He will study at BYU so we'll for sure hang out! Its starting to rain pretty good. Thats good because then its cooler and easier to sleep, but mosquitos are worst. President said that he would pull all missionaries for the dedication of the temple! But I think that's all for now. I will write a spiritual message Tchau I Love You all Elder Deakin Pslams 144:15 Phillipeans 4:13 These two scriptures are very cool, talking about the strength the lord can bless you with!
