How was your week? Mine was pretty good. I'm sorry you didn't get an email from me yesterday. I think I forgot to tell you last week that yesterday was going to be Zone Conference. We left at 6am and got back at 6pm and went straight to an FHE with a family that moved here from Florianopolis. The Zone Conference was awesome. Maybe I'm a horrible missionary, but I think my favorite part of the mission is getting to see the other missionaries. To sit down and swap stories, jokes, and crazy investigators really works wonders to relax and "recharge the batteries". Who knows, maybe my favorite part would be baptizing if I was getting in the water often enough to remember the feeling.
Mom, I'm sorry if you feel like I'm not receiving your emails. In reality I didn't receive your email from last week until today. I'll do my best to get some pictures of my houses. I make no promises about the Concordia apartment, but I'll get a picture from Imbituba to you next week. If the pictures I'm sending aren't turning out well just let me know and I'll send a bigger copy. It's no problem at all. As far as companions go, I'll get a better picture of Elder Wright and Martin (I hope) I'm putting one in of Elder Candia, but I'll probably take a better one before I get home, and I sent one of Elder C. Silva and me in front of the beach last week.
I can't even imagine the snow these days. We are generally between 86 and104 degrees Fahrenheit. The humidity from the beach doesn't help the temperature any. The nice thing is that between the sun and the ocean breeze, our clothes dry really fast on the line. That is, when it's no training. Since our clothes dry so fast on the line, I thought that I could try an experiment that would allow me to save time I the morning. Between exercise, breakfast, waiting for the companion to shower, my shower, and getting dressed, it's sometimes difficult to have everything ready when its time to study. As such, sometimes you have to mix up the routine in the morning. You'll have to see the pictures to understand.
As far as items from home, there are a couple things I could use. I would love to have an English copy of Teachings of the Prophet Joseph Smith (The manual from priesthood and relief society, not the big published book), pencils to mark in the scriptures, I would love a little map of the US to show where Idaho is. The same member here who wants to buy a bottle of maple syrup extract (the little glass bottle with that you can mix with water and sugar to make syrup) from me wants a jar of peanut butter from me. Just let me know the prices when you send it and he'll pay me. Oh. I tried to use my Wells Fargo card last week and it didn't work. I'll try it again today and let you know next week if it really isn't working.
Oh. Don't send anything in the letters except the paper. There are workers in the Post Office opening the corners of American letters to look for money or something. It's illegal, but they haven't found out who it is yet.
Celebrating the MWC Championship,
Elder Haws(mo)
