Hello Family!
We had a Stake Conference here though it was really a bunch of stakes here in Brazil having a regional conference because it was a broadcast to all the stake centers. Elder Scott spoke. It was the first time that I have heard him speak in Portuguese. Though I think he has been speaking in Spanish a lot lately because of his accent and the way he said a few things like "Jusucristo," which is Spanish, not Portuguese.
My new address is:
R ITAMARATI 374
JD ALVORADA
86191-130 CAMBE PR
You can't send packages here--but we'll work on finding a member who is always home to send packages to.
Cambe is a pretty cool place. It's weird because the entire city just has two missionaries. There is a lot of walking!! There is a really cool family that wants to be baptized here too. We've taught them a few lessons this past week and they had already been taught a bit before I got here. They are planning on getting baptized this Sunday!
It's really hard to be in a new area, not knowing where to go or who anybody is. Plus this is my first week where I literally can't speak to ANYBODY in English. But...I survived. I know that this is helping my Portuguese a lot. On Sunday, we had lunch at the ward mission leader's house. It was really fun. He is a fun guy and likes to joke around. It made me feel like I was home a little bit! With everybody joking around and making fun of each other and just a super relaxed atmosphere was nice for a little bit compared to the usual "missionary" treatment we get.
Elder Abreu is a good missionary. He is from Belem, Para. Way up on the north coast. I'll send some pictures of him and our house here in Cambe.
Well..everything is going just as normal as can be here! It's hard to believe it's been 6 months already!
Love you, Love you, Amo voces
Elder Haws
