December 19, 2011- Christmas is Here!!

Hey Everyone!
So I´m here in an area named Kobrasol and it´s pretty cool, not a ton of beach but we still have some ocean so we get a nice breeze. The area needs a lot of work, we only have about 5 people who we are teaching and none of them seem to be progressing so we are going to have to do a lot of work with finding new people. My new companion is Elder Banner and he is from Ogden, Utah. I like him a lot, he´s a hardworker and only has 2 months here but speaks really well in Portuguese and has a lot of fire! The members are great too and they all want to help with the missionary work here so that´s great. We just found out today that Pres. Fernandes is going to make 22 transfers on Christmas Eve (he has to due to a lot of visa waiters getting there visas) so he told us all not to get to comfortable in our areas becuase he´s gonna make a lot of changes...I hope nothing changes here tho! As for Christmas, we only have 40 mins to talk and we can use skype, so we are planning on skyping home anywhere between 6pm-8pm our time here in Brasil (I think it´s a 6 hour distance but you can check on the internet to know for sure). Should be great to see everyone´s faces and voices!!! I hope you all have a great Christmas and enjoy the spirit of this wonderful season!!! Give the little ones tons of loves for me!!!!
Love,
Elder Michael J. Neilson
