Hello!
So ya this week went much better.  Still a little difficult at times because like dad said: Latins think they know everything... so yeah, but oh well I´m just staying chill and I will help him and just sit back and try to learn.  OK so I´ll answer the questions...
 My address is:
          Elder Robert Chandler Halpin
          Ri Flamengo # 188
          Vila Mapumby, Maringá - PR
          cep:  87005 - 180
          Brazil
This is the home address and you could probably send the package there if you haven´t sent it yet  because we still have two months, but usually people have their stuff sent to their home only for the first few weeks of a normal transfer then to the mission home...
We share our house with 2 other elders.    Elder Bohne (americano) and Elder Prado (Brasilhero) are in our house with us.  They are fun to have there because like dad said, its nice to have others to talk too.
 I am not in the ward that meets by the park, but we´ve had district meetings there.  I´m in the Centro Civíco ward and we meet in a building on rua Riberro Roch... something like that, but they are building a new ward house somewhere right now...
 The investigators are good. No baptisms yet, Lucas was gone for carnival, like the whole world is gone right now ha ha. But the people are good.  lots of people progressing... eh the language is coming along OK...
Yes I am using sun screen and my shoes are good.
The  bathrooms in are house are good once we cleaned them because the elders before us left us a huge mess to clean. There are ants here and there, other bugs but not too many.  My sheets, towels, etc. are good...
(I asked him a lot of questions in our last letter, and he obviously responded to them...hence, so many quick answers that are very random!)

Wow Jimmy is back already?  that was fast!  Yeah, my testimony is growing the same way.  I love it here, sometimes its hard but I know this work is the work of God and anything is possible through Him!
HA HA Madagascar!  That's way sick!  I´ll write Peter and congratulate him! What language will he be speaking?   NO I didn´t know Jeff had a girlfriend ha ha.  Tell Sam I hope his call is to Londrina! ha ha.  If Wes was in my ward at all ask him who he taught and all that,  OK?
 Things here are going better, I just wish I was fluent ha ha, but I know God is helping me with learning too.  I love you guys and thanks for the pictures they´re great!  I´ll try to get pictures on, but if not I guess I´ll send you the card, or print some out and mail them. 
Thanks for all you did por exemplo... food, cleaning, listening, etc.  I have realized all that you did for me, Alec, Jackson, and our friends.  I love you guys so much and am so grateful for everything.  Tell Al, Jack, and peppy hi.

Love,
Elder Halpin
