Week 72: Transferred!!

Felipe is the guy on the left, he is our ward mission leader.
Everton, his cousin, is the one on the right.

This week was great and a super quick one once again! Everton was baptized on Saturday at about 3:30 cause everybody showed up late at the stake center. But Everton had his interview about 20 minutes before the baptism and passed, just like we knew he would. He was confirmed on Sunday as well by a member of the ward here. There were about 30 people there; probably 10 or so of them were from other cities near by.

Im getting tranferred!! Im going to a city called Maringá. It´s just a little south of Londrina. All of my areas are still going to be really near all the others. I´ll be with Elder Helms, I dont know who he is, yet. I´ll let you know next week when I´ve already been living with him for almost a week and actually meet him and get to know him real well, ALL IN ONE WEEK! haha the mission is crazy.

Three transfers is the longest I've been witha companion. i´ve never stayed in an area for more than three transfers. My new area is called Mandacarú B, which means there are two companionships in the same ward.

I'm pretty sad to be leaving the area. I really really wanted to stay. We´re finally having success in the area after such a slow start. Elder morgan and I also became really good friends. Luckily he is staying and will be able to let me know when our investigators get baptized!

Looking at the website, it looks like Elder Helms just got done being trained, so this will be his 3rd transfer and my 12th! That makes it seem like I´ve been ont the mission for forever!

Im finally going to be senior comp. it took a while but I guess the Lord has his purposes for it, I'm not upset by it.

Thanks for all your lopve and prayers. I love you all. I'm so greatful for the opportunity that I have to be a missionary. I know that its coming to a close really soon, in like 7 months and I'm trying to take full advantage of every opportunity that I have while I'm here because I know I cant do this again.

Com muita água,

Élder Haws!

Package Mailing Instructions:

DO NOT send anything by: FedEx, DHL, UPS, etc. The mission cannot accept them and your missionary will have to pay, sometimes hundreds of dollars, to get them out of the customs office, often more than the total cost of the items sent.

The best way to send packages to your missionary is to use a PRIORITY MAIL INTERNATIONAL envelope obtained at any U.S. Post Office. The flat rate envelope is about $12.00 for up to 4 obs. Packages arrive in Brazil fairly quickly and safely in about 3-4 weeks. Priority boxes also work well but are more expensive to send.

Please use padded envelopes when sending CDs, thumb drives, or other small items. These items, when placed in a flat envelope, damage postal equipment and can be damaged during transit.

Merchandise: Clothing, food products, and merchandise should be sent direct to the mission office address. However, clothing or other dutiable merchandise often does not reach its intended destination or, if it does arrive, may be subject to customs duties that the missionary will not be prepared to pay. Small packages of nominal value may be sent through the United States Postal Service. Photographs and tapes may be included in these packages. Merchandise sent through a commercial mail carrier is extremely expensive and may be subject to customs duties, but this is the best way to send credit or debit cards.
