Family! Hey how goes it this week? So today is Thanksgiving! I'm writing today because I want to ha. So hows the dinner there? Today at lunch the member fixed a bar-b-que so I was happy. It was a big lunch. It's super hot and I'm really feeling the stresses of being Senior! We went to take care of things for a wedding and I had to do it all! It's stressfull ha but @ the same time I like it alot more! So this last week we had a batismao! That's like a really big baptism. It doesn't translate as cool but we had the baptism of Rosenere that we married to Romerito last week and the family Raimundo & Maraci so clempted 2 families! It was very cool. We have had alot of problems with Raimundo & Maraci. The whole branch was stopping by teaching new things confusing them, but this last week we finally got it all worked out. They have a daughter that is handicapped that we were planning on baptising her Saturday, but she didn't pass the baptismal questions? She knew some and not the others so we hve to return and teach very simply! My comp is good. He's got stuff that I can learn and at the same time I'm helping him. So I had to restart the Book of Mormon and this time its alot slower. I need to pick it up to finish by New Years. I'll write grandpa's and grandma's next week. So this last week nothing to exciting happened. We have this member inactive that we are trying to help return to the church. I felt inspired to ask her how she could know the truth but go to other Churches! And then her knowledge of the Book of Mormon. She only read it as a book, not as a way to help your life. Her friend called that night saying she was really thinking about what we said. I've learned as a missionary sometimes ya got to get in peoples faces and shake them a little like Elder Holland! Some people will only realize they can't live the way they are unless you say those exact words! But thats all for this week. Take care. Love ya! Tchau! Love you all Elder Deakin Isaiah 49:16 He won't forget us How then can we forget him!!!
