Christmas conference next week! Transfer right before Christmas?!?

   Hey hey hey!  Whats up everyone?? Hows everything going in Utah??  Its beginning to feel more like Christmas here.  There isn't any snow on the ground, but now there are a lot of Christmas lights and decorations around the city.  The branch has also been planning some Christmas season activities that have been really fun and helped me get in the Christmas mood.  And also this next week the mission is going to have a Christmas Conference in Porto Alegre!!  I'm suuuper excited about it.  Our district has been practicing a musical number that one of the zone leaders wrote and we will sing there for the program.  It should be great and I'm really excited to see some of the missionaries that I haven't seen since we were roommates back in the CTM. 

     Me and Elder Fernandes had another good week of work.  We taught a good number of lessons, but unfortunately we only had 1 investigator that attended church yesterday.  We will work hard and try visit a ton of people so we can get some more this next Sunday.  We had to push back the baptism for Tati another week because we weren't able to have division with the district leader to come down and do the interview, so we are really hoping that it can work out this week because it is already the last week of the transfer!  Planning the baptisms is always a little difficult and stressful because sometimes its hard have the interviews or to find a time that works for everybody to go to Santa Cruz and set up everything, but they always end up working out just fine and always are the greatest experiences.  Something that was kinda cool that happened this week was when we had Elder Rollins stay with us for a day.  The leaders had a conference in Porto Alegre so his companion went with ZL´s and he stayed with us.  Haha it seemed kind of weird working in a 3 some, but it was fun. 

     Wow so transfers are gonna happen this next week so by next Monday I will know whether I´m staying here in Vera Cruz for 7 more weeks or if I get transferred to a new area.  Under normal circumstances I would think that there is a really good chance that I will be transferred since I have already been here for 3 transfers, but I'm think that Pres. Wright might try to limit the amount of missionaries being transferred since it was a shorter transfer than usual and it is happening right before Christmas.  We will just have to wait and see.  Either way would be alright with me, but I think I would prefer to stay in Vera Cruz just for 1 more transfer so I can celebrate Christmas with the members that I already have a good friendship with. :)

     But anyways, I hope you guys have a great upcoming week!  I love you all and wish you the best!  Oh,and only 2 more weeks till I get to talk with you guys on Christmas!!  Cheeaaaaaaahoooo!!

Much love,

Elder Gee
