Week 15

Hey everybody! 
Not much happened this week! It was Thanksgiving and my comp and I totally forgot haha. We looked at the calendar and he said when is Thanksgiving and I said I think it was yesterday but oh well they don't have it here and we still wouldn't have done anything haha! I made my comp fast yesterday for Sam and he was cool with it so don't worry about the kidney thing, two fasting missionaries is pretty much a quick fix for everything. I heard that 2 fasting missionaries stopped the Civil War... that's a fact. Our investigator Jose doesn't have the same will to follow the commandments like he used to so we are afraid that he will become an eternal investigator. He still likes the missionaries and wants the lessons but he doesn't have the drive to quit smoking anymore. It breaks my heart but we can't make him do anything. We have been trying to find more investigators but no one here has the time or they just don't care so I feel like we try super hard and work a ton but there is nothing happening here. I have faith that something will happen here soon. We do have a baptism of an 8 year old but she is a daughter of a member. She is super funny and they are the coolest family ever. They are from Guinhea Basou and they are the nicest people ever. The oldest boy is named Diamentino and we have the same exact birthday. Now that I am writing this I am starting to think that I wrote this exact thing last week... but like I said not a lot happens here. I am a little frustrated with the language but my comp assures me that I am doing ok. I just feel like I have been here long enough and I still can't understand these people. We will see how it goes. I am not so good at the language study but I was never really good at studying. I have made a goal to do better though. All in all this week was normal. I did send you guys a package with Christmas presents in it so be ready for that. Hopefully it gets there before Christmas. 
Love you guys,
