Hello!!
The trip here to my new area wasn't too long. I left Maringá at 7:15 and got to a city called Presidente Prudente at 12. At 1:45, I left from there and came to Osvaldo Cruz, I got here at 3.
Me and my companion are opening the area. in other words, we got here at the same time and didn't know anybody or where anything is. The members helped us out a bit and since its a small town (with only 30,000 people) we already know how to get pretty much where ever we want.
Our branch here has 5 cities in total. We´ve only been to one other city outside of Osvaldo Cruz so far. It's called Parapuã.
The branch here has a really great branch president and we´re really excited to work here. Elder J. Silva has about a year on the mission, just a little bit more than a year. He´s from the northwest of Brazil and has a bit of an accent but its not too strong anymore, he´s lost a lot of it on the mission.
It's a lot hotter here than it was in Maringá.. hopefully it cools down a bit. The members however tell us that this is as cold as it gets around here!
I´ve told everybody here that I only have 1 year and a little on the mission, like 3 months... i don't know if its a sin cause it's dishonest or if it´s okay so that people don't just try and make me trunky all the time and talk about home and marriage and end of mission stuff... but I already did it so i guess it doesn't matter. If I stay here until the end I´ll tell them about 2 weeks before I go home that I´m ending my mission!
I´m out of time but I´m having a good time here and I´ll talk to ya'll next week!
Elder Haws
