I hope that everyone had a great Christmas! This one was great, to
really focus on what matters most.

This week I went to have confrence in Cuiabá! We had to take a bus
there which took about 15 hours! But it was good to finally get there.
We did a lot of things and there was a lot of great times! We traveled
back (by plane this time) back to Alta Floresta with our companions!
We got to show them the area and have some fun on our pday night of 24
and pday of 25. It was pretty great. Im loving it. My new companion is
Elder Dontato from São Paulo Brasil. He is a convert to the church at
22, just a little over a year ago. And he is great. We are enjoying
things here a lot and its going great.

One thing our mission president talked to us about it presents. There
are presents, real presents, that we recieve every day from God.
Blessings, happiness, His love, and so much. But whats important this
time of year is what we can give Him. There are things that we can
give Him. Maybe its something that we will give up that will make us
in His will more. Maybe its something that we will do more that will
be obeying Him more. Its important that we can make these goals this
time of year and we can always learn more and arrive closer and closer
to Him. And how great will be our joy. Everyone have a great new year!
