Welp this week was pretty normal. My comp's family came here on Saturday but a few days before President called saying that he couldn't go to the sealing at the temple. My comp was a little bit angry to say the least. But it was cool because we were going to ditch out on the ward Christmas party on Saturday to go to the São Paulo Temple but we ended up being able to go and it was sweet! I played soccer for like 6 hours straight. They call me the American Ronaldo because I am that good. Haha, jk, I make a fool out of myself on the field amongst the brethren.
Yesterday we had Mission Counsel in São Paulo...it was cool.
I don't have much to say, just wanted to wish everyone Happy Holidays ("Merry Christmas" to all of you that believe in that Jesus guy)! Haha. Next week I will be talking to my family!
Oh yeah next week I will be using the internet on TUESDAY and NOT WEDNESDAY! So get all them awesome emails off to me before Tuesday!

Basketball in "Little America"
I am exhausted. I just got done playing basketball for 4 hours. It was awesome though. Our own "Little America". 10 Americans together with no Portuguese haha. It was kind of weird actually.
My new comp is way cool. We get along really well. He is a bit "trunky" because he is about 4 months away from going home plus we are going to see his family this weekend because his brother is going to get sealed in the São Paulo temple but I don't blame him. We are all a little bit trunky at heart.
Last night was way cool because this investigator that we have had forever named Deone who is the mom of João that we baptized gave us her cigarrettes last night and said she wants to stop smoking be baptized. We have been trying to get her to stop smoking for like 2 months and lately I have just given up hope with her then out of nowhere she did that. It was way cool!
Other than that nothing to report from here. I am going to go to São Paulo 2 times in the next week. I have been here in Sorocaba for almost a year now...don't get me wrong...I love it here but it isn't THAT big and I am just used to everything now. I am just kind of sick of it I guess. I hope I go back to the capital for the last part of my mission. We'll see though.

Super Saturday
Saturday was such a great day eh? There were three baptisms here...BYU took a small crap on Utah. Awesome.
No really though...that is awesome about BYU. I can't wait to see the game when I get home. Sounds awesome.
Yeah and the baptisms went well. Unfortunately 2 of them didn't work out. 1 will be in the future and the other...who knows. Eliane's cousin who was doing way good just gave up out of nowhere saying she didn't want to live all the commandments and so she didn't want to get baptized. It sucked. But at least the others stayed strong.
Transfers were today and my comp got transferred. I got yet ANOTHER Brazilian comp. He has 4 and 1/2 months left in his mission. It is possible for me to be his last companion but I doubt it. We'll see though. He is from Mato Grosso do Sul, Brazil. His name is Elder Jara.
Anyway, things are pretty normal here. Loves and stuff!
