Happy Thanksgiving

mom,
   only the u.s. celebrates thanksgiving. i can gaurantee you i will work on that day and not a single brazilian will even know what day it is. i dont even know what day thanksgiving is...
  ya get me the same ctr socks that i left with, there really good and dry really fast.
  the garents can be regular size like what i left with, and no spandex please, just regular old cotton garments. more i just need about 4 more tops and 2 more bottoms please. also one my brazilian comps wants an adventure time shirt also.
     now i have 3 different emails all from people i dont recognize, there names are alec jensen, austin cloward and robert gunnerson. i have no idea who they are. whoever they are please tell them to write me a letter cause i cant respond by email and actually i cant even read there emails also. mission rules. i think there just people joking around honestly.
    hurray more mission calls!!! congrats to everyone!
   we had some miracles this week for sure! this guy that i was teaching way from the begginging when i got in tupã 2 months ago almost got baptized but then his mom went physcho when elder saraiva and i were teaching him at his house and she sent her 7 foot 300 pound shrek of a son at us and we left the house runnin! his name is bruno and hes 23 but he didnt get baptized basically cause the mom hates mormons and uses a lot of drugs. her other son is the biggest guy ive ever seen here in brazil and hes mentally handicapped but his body works perfectly fine. im not joking bruno told us the guy is over two meters tall. he is giant and being mentally handicapped is extremely dangerous to be around. actually all of brunos family is dangeous, his other brother is in prison serving out his sentence for murdering a man with a knife. the whole family is crazy except bruno. we couldnt ever get to him. but guess who got in a fight with there mom and moved into there uncles house who is a family that we reactivated?! the return of Bruno! you may be asking how do i always get into sticky situations... baptism!!! 
  then were teaching this little family that is super elects! the mom was sick so the dad sent his daughter to go get the missionaries to give her a blessing. they gave a blessing, passed the reference to us and they went to church and the daughter is going to baptize this sunday. the parents arent married yet but they will get married and then were gonna baptize them also. there really special.
  we had 74 people in church on sunday. thats a lot better then the 44 we had when i arrived so im pretty happy right now!
 ill buy a present just put some extra money in my bank account and ill send here in a couple of weeks. 20 dollars is about 40 reais in brazil, thats plenty. well gotta go, love you all have a great thanksgiving.  please send me stick deodarant from the states, not gel, i hate spray and thats all they have in tupã!
