Hi Mom,

So, this is transfers and we don’t know what will happen yet. Sister Nascimento is going to Londrina to pick up her companion but I won’t know what will happen with me and Sister Grover until tomorrow. I am pretty sure we will stay in Maringá.

I don’t think I told you but Alice taught with us last Saturday. Remember her? It was so fun to see her and hear about my old area. I also saw a few other members from Sarandi these past couple of weeks.

Tell Michelle and Jake congrats on blessing their baby. I am so excited to see him. I can’t believe I have a nephew. Also, tell the cousins hello from me. Also, tell Ryan and Jenny congrats on the wedding.

This week was great and we found a lot of new investigators. We are teaching a really cute family and this week they made us Brazilian food that I will make for you guys. They have a huge garden/yard with banana trees, mango trees, tomatoes, all sorts of fruits and plants. They sent us home with a bunch of exotic foods. They really want to meet you guys. Do you think there will be enough time to visit Maringá or only Londrina? Tell Dad that I don’t know what to do in Sao Paulo. I sent a bunch of ideas several months ago but the rest is up to him to plan. Anyway, I have a funny story to tell you about one of our investigators Robson. You will have to remind me and I will tell you all about it.

Anyway, things are going well. I am starting to feel really nervous about going home. I will miss the mission so much. I have loved serving here and have had amazing experiences.

President Leal wanted me to ask you guys to do a favor. He wants all of the parents to send a picture of the family and a brief testimony about how the Book of Mormon changed your lives. You can send the picture and the testimony to my email address. He said our families would be blessed for doing this.

I love so much and miss you. Hope you had a wonderful Thanksgiving. (We didn’t do anything. In fact, we ate pizza and ice cream for lunch, roasted in the sun and then fasted for the rest of the day--nothing like your average Thanksgiving) but it was one of the best Thanksgivings because we found an awesome family that day. But I love you hope all is well.

Tchau! Love Sister Davis
