Hey Family,
Greg got into BYU? That’s what I’m talking about! How’d we do it? Hostages? Ransom? Bomb threats? Crates of Idaho Potatoes? A midnight infiltration? Zone Blitz? Box and 1? The wretched Memphis Dribble-Drive Offense? 15 Yard Fade to Jonny Harline? Cartwheels and a Slip ‘n’ Slide? Now we just have to make sure he does an audition for the marching band before he leaves on his mission. If he’s working at Chesbro’s there’s no excuse to not be practicing.
Sorry this letter is late… and short. Yesterday was Elder Lacerda’s birthday so we moved to P-Day to today. That probably doesn’t make any sense to you guys. Basically there is a Theme Park 30 minutes north of Navegantes named Beto Carrero World. It is the largest theme park in Latin America (outside of the US and Canada). You get in for free on your birthday, but it only opens Thursdays through Sundays. So Elder Lacerda will go for free and I pulled $30 off my WellsFargo card to get in. It’s not an amusement park (like lagoon) so it lacks roller coasters and has tons of shows. Taking this into consideration we expect everyone at the nearly empty park to go to the shows today while we ride the rides to our hearts’ content. Elder Bateman was there last week on his companions birthday and said the rides aren’t as good as Lagoon’s. That is, except for “Big Tower”. Its like the Rocket from the Lagoon … at least, I think the name was the Rocket. It takes you really high in the air, waits for a few minutes, and drops you. The Big Tower is reportedly the tallest in the world. 100 meters. Don’t worry. I’ll wave to you.
Interviews with the President were good but sad. When the next interviews roll around it’ll be the new President. I’m a little curious about how the mission is going to change. The most exciting moment of the week might have been getting a letter form good old Elder Jake Robinson. I also got letters from Adrienne Love and Trevor Bateman, but it’s been nearly 2 years since I heard from Jake so I was a little more excited to open that one. Jake only has 4 months left and is the Zone Leader over the area where both the Suns and Diamondbacks are located. I’ll be honest. I was a little jealous. Give him a hug for me when he gets home.
Congrats on getting into BYU Greg! That’s awesome. Correct me if I’m wrong, but does that make Mindy the only Haws who applied and didn’t get in? I don’t remember Warren applying. Work hard Greg, you won’t regret it. Oh. A member of the ward (who is a semi-professional basketball player) gave me his old pair of basketball shoes. He’s my height but weighs a little more than me (~270 lbs. or 130 kilos). Hey. I just got the picture of Mom and Dad at Spencer’s Graduation. What the #@$% is dad doing with my M&M’s tie? I always used his ties, but I only had 3 or 4 of my own. The old man has HUNDREDS!
The baptism last week was awesome. I would send pictures but we’re at the annoying lan house again. Maybe next week.
The weather is great, I have basketball shoes now, and Beto Carrero should be great so stop worrying about me.
Climbing a BIG TOWER,
Elder Haws(mo)
