Hey family and friends!

It was fun to hear your Thanksgiving plans! I really missed playing/ watching football. It killed me not to be able to, but you just have to sacrifice some things in life. I also got all those pictures this week. I was going to say that was a lot of them. But it was fun to see all the things you have been up to.

The teaching is going well. I remember my first weeks here we did not teach a single lesson and now, I have been able to teach anywhere from 5 to 10 lessons a week which is very good for this area. It feels good to know that the hard work you put in pays off. I really do work hard and try my best. I have seen so much growth in my gospel knowledge and ability to teach with the spirit. I am excited to see what the Lord will make of me in this mission and for these people!

We are teaching some awesome people! There are two brother in laws from Brazil who we are teaching now. One is a man named Mauricio and he is very religious! He goes to 3 Baptists churches and has read the New Testament over 100 times and I believe him! The other is Leo and he has literally zero faith in God. It is super strange! But they are fun to talk to and I hope that they will read the Book Of Mormon and continue to grow in the gospel.

We are also teaching a man named Kevin. When we met him, he told us that he was looking around for different churches and trying to find the right one. Well perfect we would love to talk to you! We have taught him the first lesson and gave him a Book Of Mormon. We hope he is reading and praying! He said he would like to come to church so we should see him on Sunday!

So Transfers are on the 19th and so I don't know where I will be. But yeah you can send it to my place and I will get it. The mission has made a big deal about only sending mail to us so if you could let people know my address and that rule, that would be great. It is silly since they told us before I left only to the mission home but they changed it. Oh well.

My companion is awesome! I love Elder Fitzgerald! We have been together since the beginning of October and it has been tons of fun! It would be crazy if we stayed together for 3 transfers because that hardly EVER happens but we just might. I guess time will tell. He is from Rexburg Idaho and it's been a pleasure serving with him.

Crazy story! I had a gun pulled on me this week which was a new experience. Well kind of, he had it in his hand when he opened the door. That was insane! But I am doing great! No worries!

I am excited for this week. I feel like good things are going to happen. I know that if I work hard and give 110 percent, the Lord will bless this area and this work. That is all I want! I hope that you have a good month and enjoy your Christmas break when it comes! Be safe! I love you and pray for you! Have a good week.

Love,
Elder Westover
