Oh man that turkey looks sooo good haha, and man to see you guys in short sleeves tshirts and shorts haha, im like freezing my butt of here!! haha, but at least the sun has come out lately!(: and i was wondering, if you guys come and get me, ill miss thanksgiving with the family, so maybe we'll have to think a little bit about a trip! haha, its just now that i realized it, so ill have to put more thought into it later! and that's awesome!! ive been telling brandon to go visit forever! haha, im glad he finally went, he actually had been saying that he missed being at our house haha. but yea i talk with brandon every week about all kinds of different stuff, but yea mostly about what he's doing at asu and what im doing here, yea it seems like he's loving ASU. 

and no haha, Elder Eyring and Elder Perry went to the Vatican in Italy to give a big ol speech on marrige, its all over church news on lds.org so i didnt see them haha(: I saw Elder Cook the other week with their Stake President haha(: 

Thanksgiving was pretty sweet, we just had a big ol' lunch and stuff, which was suuuuuuuuper good cuz Elder Williams in our house cooks soo good, it was awesome haha(: and we were gonna wake up early and go play football, but then it was cold and we were to tired and lazy haha. but we play catch in the house all the time haha, i love being in a 6 elder house! and no, the portugues dont celebrate Thanksgiving at all, but yea there's already been Christmas stuff out for like a month in the stores haha(:
