Hi Everyone :)

Man, my new area is awesome! I´m living in a big city now, which is great because now most of our investigators know how to read...hahaha. But seriously, I work with two wards now instead of one branch, and the leaders here help us so much. They pick up all of our investigators with cars, and they are working to give us contacts, and going on splits with us. We couldn´t ask anything more.

My companion is Elder Fisi. His family is from Tonga, so he lived there for 8 years. He´s also lived in Califoria and Washington. He speaks Portuguese really well, along with the language from Tonga. He works super hard, and has a lot of goals. He talks a lot about GH, gloria dos homens, which is glory of men. He tries really hard to look good in front of people, with lots of baptisms and stuff, and I guess it seems to be working. He´s baptizing like crazy, and he was called to be district leader this transfer. He´s pretty young in the mission too. He´s been here less than a year. I´ll definitely learn a ton from him. He played football as running back, and wrestled, and did drama, and he likes to sing. We usually sing duets at all of our appointments now so that's pretty fun.

I don´t have any pictures to send this week, but I´ll try to get some next week. This week has really been a race; we've been all over the place. We leave the house at 10:30 and don´t get home until 9:30 at night. Elder Fisi is a super hard worker, and he wants to be assistant to the president, so I think we´ll work super hard this transfer and baptize a lot :)

I love you guys, and if you have any questions for me don´t be afraid to ask. My area is a little closer to the mission office now, so I should be able to receive letters more frequently now.

I know the church is true!! Keep choosing the right, and the blessings will come. Stay happy, and I´ll write more next Monday.

Love, Elder Forsyth
