Happy November!

Crazy.

But anyways, this one is probably going to be short.

Hah, so funny story.

There's a place down here, a little neighborhood, which I believe is a solid 95% Brazilian. Like, we were finding down there last week, but we were walking around with a portugese Book of Mormon instead of a french one. JJ, I don't suppose you could teach me how to contact someone in portugese?

In any case, we did have a fun finding experience down there, because we were walking around late at night, and there was a group of women talking in the street. We went up and introduced ourselves, talked about the Book of Mormon, placed two, and then promised to come back later with more (we didn't have enough for everyone). But hey, teaching groups of people is great! Especially because a couple of the women were making big connections on their own and were teaching part of the lesson to their friends for us.

Other than that, the cool experience for this week was seeing a less active woman come to church for the second week in a row, and this time she brought friends! Well, she brought her boyfriend, and her daughter came with her friend. She got up and bore her testimony, and talked about how scared she was to come back. It's hard! But that just means that it will be that much more rewarding for her.

Pray for us! We're arranging a couple weddings, trying to get people to come back to church, and hey, laughing all along the way.

Hope everyone had a fun halloween. You know what I miss most about halloween? Having that huge bowl filled with leftover candy for another month. Until all that's left is the lollipops and other stuf that no one wants. Then we would lower our standards and eventually eat those too. Yeah. Let the thanksgiving festivities begin!

Also, this next week, all of the senior couples from everywhere french side will be gone. So...pray for us.

I love you all!
