Hey Family,

Your emails were horrible this week. All you talked about was home, airplane, home, family, home, and the mission ending. Don't you people realize that we've still got plenty of time to work before I have to catch the plane? I've still got tonight and tomorrow... kind of. Tomorrow we have to teach seminary at 6:20, and then my bus leaves at 9pm to get to Joinville. So really I have 3 hours of real work tonight and a few hours tomorrow afternoon. Plenty of time... plenty of time...

You guys couldn't wait one more week to bless Milo? Oh well. I guess there will still be three more Riggs kids to be blessed. Then there will always be more Haws kids. This world is in for a big surprise once the next round of Haws kids start running wild.

I don't know what else to write. Mom asked about food that I wanted... I have no idea. We can make plans once I'm home. We've got some pretty important appointments in Sao Francisco these next two days, plus I've still got to pack. The only thing I'm sure of is that as soon as I walk in the front (or maybe back) door I want to fry up an Idaho Potato. No if's, and's, or but's. No joke either. I've gone far too long without a high quality potato. Beyond that you can cook whatever you want. I'll probably eat just about anything.

Today they called the zone together to play soccer. I playing goalie for a while. At one point Elder Eliakim, one of the zone leaders, tried to go for a header so I tried to knock the ball away. His forehead came in full speed to my backhand and he almost hit the ground. Now he has a pretty good lump on his forehead and my hand hurts. It is definitely complicating the whole writing process.

Guess what, we don't have to plan the fancy phone call for Sunday!!

The weather is great, the bags are almost packed and I'm fine so stop worrying about me.

See you soon,
Elder Haws(mo)
