Surprise, Surprise‏

Hey Family,

Another transfer has come and gone. Before you know it Christmas will arrive and someone will be making fun of my Brazilian accent. How crazy is that? Oh well. 6 weeks in the Agronomica Ward and I’m already packing my bags. Yes, you heard correctly. I’m getting transferred. Surprises aren’t always that fun.

This past week was a real pain. We had a couple days were plans A through D fell through ALL DAY LONG. It tests your faith, and your patience, but everything works out in the end. Willian got splashed, but his mom will have to wait a little while. Saturday after the baptism the primary had a big activity. Seeing as how we had a few kids there from investigator families, we stuck around to help out a little bit. It was a bunch of fun. It’s too bad I’m already leaving the area, but I feel as though I helped out a little bit.

For P-Day today I was expecting to go to a big game of basketball at the president’s house. It just so happened that my companion had his heart set on going to the beach. A few different Elders called me this morning to make sure I was coming, but I had to tell each of them that it wouldn’t work out. Oh well. There’s always next time. We hung out on the beach, threw around a football, a Frisbee, and had sumo wrestling matches in the sand. It was Elder Burkhardt’s last P-Day so we went to Pizza Hut for lunch.

What else could I be forgetting?



HAPPY BIRTHDAY MOM!!!!

From your SON,Elder Haws(mo)

PS I'm throwing in a picture of Artur, an 18-month-ish old boy who I taught to say "Cougar". He only says a handful of words in Portuguese but runs around his house screaming "COUGAR!" Don't worry. His mom studied at BYU for a semester so she understands.
