Hey Family,
Half of this transfer is already over. The transfer had been crawling by until this last week which seemed to be over in 3 days. My perception of time is incredibly unreliable these days. Do you suppose that’s because I’m an old missionary, or because I’ve taken a little too much sun?
Next Monday will be Interviews/Zone Conference so don’t be expecting an email that day. I haven’t yet heard which day will officially be our P-Day so just relax next week if the email doesn’t come on Tuesday. Our style for doing contacts, giving the lessons, marking baptisms, and everything else we do will all officially change next Monday. President Queiroz has brought a new system/program/spirit to the mission field. Our Zone Leaders already talked about the change in contacts last week, but the rest will still be a mystery. If everything works out as planned I’ll be having a lot more reasons to send pictures home. Keep your fingers crossed!
Since we now have the keys to the locked cabinets at the chapel, we can start mixing up our morning exercises. For example, this morning we went to the church and played basketball and soccer. I played basketball and Elder da Rocha played soccer. Good times. I still feel like an idiot every time I pick up the ball, the shots weren’t falling like I want them to, but it’s much better exercise than I have been getting everyday.
Besides that, life keeps going. It rained all week, so we had to work a little more creative to get our contacts but it all worked out alright. Everyone is complaining about it being cold these days but I’m still working every day in short sleeves. Some people are starting to think that I’m crazy, but what else is new?
If you’re putting a package together I could use some new heads for my razor. Gillette Fusion. It still doesn’t exist in Brazil. And I could use some common medications. Allergy meds, Ibuprofen, Pepto-Bismol (chewable). Nothing special, nothing out of the ordinary. If there is any more room in the box toss in some more American candy.
Life is good, the sun is back, and I’m fine so stop worrying about me.
Happy Holidays,
Elder Haws(mo)
