Happy Thanksgiving: Nov. 26th 2008

i hope that you guys are getting your stomaches ready for the big feast tommorow! the brazilian people have no idea about thanksgiving here. everyone here is just getting ready for feliz natal. we're eating lunch with an Irmã tommorow that always gives a good lunch so we will probably have a good little feast of our own i hope... i made the 7up salad and it turned out really good! my comp is allergic to bananas so i didnt put them in but other than that it was really good. im excited to eat the little turkey deals that you sent. we'll eat them for dinner and im gonna mash up some potatoes and whip up some gravy also. it wont be the Coats thanksgiving but i think that it will do.
im glad that it is staying warm for you guys there for the holidays. 50 degrees is prettty good for november there i think. its been getting up there here as well. every one in the ward says that im starting to look brazilian!!
things are going good here. my comp is a way cool guy and we have fun, we just struggle with the teaching a little bit. we're getting the hang of it though. every house gets a little better.
nothing too exciting has gone on this last week. sombody stole the electricity wire that runs from the power line to the church so this last sunday we had no electricity. i guess that it has been happening alot because you can cash in the copper for good money right now.
the zone conference we had went good and i learned a lot of good things to apply in the lessons. im working on really relying on the spirit to help these people understand this message.
i love you guys!! make sure to have a good thanksgiving and let the whole fam know that i am thankful for all of them.
have a good week!
Elder Coats
