Hey Family,
BYU #8? That’s what I love to hear. One of the zone leaders here on the island is a Missouri fan so he’s always talking smack about BYU. Tomorrow I’ll be sure to let him know what the truth is. Before too long we’ll be on top of Missouri fighting our way to the BCS Championship. GO COUGARS!
I can’t believe Jake’s home! That little punk. He better get that letter off to me soon. It’s been around 3 months since I heard from him. Did mom say his hair is short? I’m going to have to see that picture to believe it. I saw that kid every day for 6 years and I can only remember twice that his hair wasn’t hanging down over his ears. Don’t get too excited family. Jake and I graduated together, but we don’t come home together. He went out 7 and a half months before me, so you’ll have to wait 7 and a half months before you see me. Enough of this “finish strong” business. You can’t talk about buzzer beaters when the 4th quarter hasn’t even started yet.
Life here on the island is going good. P-Day is always an excuse to gather the troops, even if we don’t end up doing anything. General Conference this weekend has ruined all our plans. We have an awesome family that came to church by themselves yesterday. Usually they come but we have to go wake them up, pick them up, and sit by them through all the meetings. Yesterday we called to remind them about church and they responded that they were just waiting for the mom to get ready and they’d be on the road. If it weren’t for conference we’d be splashing them on Saturday, so we’ll end up having to wait a week. This transfer seems to be flying by. October 15th will be the next switch. It’s a good thing. Elder Carvalho is ready for a transfer. He’s enjoyed working here on the island but he’s been for almost 5 months. He’s anxious for a change of scenery. We’ll just have to wait and see what happens.
Rumors are floating around the island that the package arrived in the office so I’ll pick it up after district meeting tomorrow. Thanks to everyone back home for all the love, support, prayers, and letters. I probably need to apologize to some people who haven’t received responses from me. Some letters haven’t received response due to laziness on P-day. That’s the natural man. I’m sorry. However, I can’t take the blame for all the letters. Twice since I came to Brazil the Brazilian Postal Workers have gone on strike, accounting for thousands of letters being burned, and other thousands never being delivered. Anything is possible. I can’t blame everything on others, but I’ll do my best from here on out to promptly respond to letters received, even if I do get invited to play basketball.
Life is good, summer is coming back, and I’m fine so stop worrying about me.
Watching Conference… maybe,
Elder Haws(mo)
