Week 26~Transfer Time

Hello!
Another week gone by!  This last week has been a little slow again when it comes to investigators, it always seems to be the same.  They say they´ll go to church, then on Saturday or Sunday morning they always have an excuse...so once again we cut pretty much everybody so we can have time to meet the elects!!!  Yesterday morning right before we went to pick people up for church, it started to pour...but we went to pick somebody up and he was waiting on the corner for us!!!  After he answered pretty much all the questions in the classes, and after church we taught him about the Book of Mormon and set a date for him next week!  Also, we got a call from Elder Kaelin about a family that moved to our area that has been going to church for 1 1/2 years now!!!  They just don't have the money to get married, so we´re going to help them with that!  They came with us to an activity at the ward last night and have 2 little girls and the wife is pregnant.  Cute little family...So yeah, lets see what happens right!  Also, a member here and her family are super awesome.  We stopped by her house sometime this week to get to know them.  She has 3 kids, two sons and a daughter.  The daughter, Nicole, was baptized on Saturday and they are a hoot to be with!  Other than that though nothing much happened, except transfers. We got a call from the zone leaders and tomorrow I will be transferred to Apucarana!  I am actually really excited to see a new place!   I´ll miss a lot of the members here, but I´ll get their addresses and stay in touch with them!  So next week, I will give you an address to send the next package!  No, I haven't gotten the other package yet because it's probably at the mission office right now waiting until next week. If you haven't gotten the thermal garms yet, could you get either large, long tops or extra large because it is super short on me with just regular large.  Also, could you maybe send some more size 16 neck, large short sleeves because there are still 2 packed away, but the others are starting to get a little dirty with sweat, so maybe just send a few more.
Well, that's about all for now, I think...  I´ll send you the address next week, and anything else I might need, I´ll let you know.  Alec will come here to Missão Brasil Londrina of course.  I am super excited for him!  Please take a video for me! 

Eu sei que este é a igreja de Cristo!  Eu sei que O Livro de Mórmon é verdeiro e que Deus e Jesus Cristo nós amam.  Sou grato por a verdade que famílias são para sempre!  Eu amo vocês e sou grato por o exemplo que vocês fazem para eu e meus irmãos!  Eu sei que somos filhos de Deus e sou aqui em Brasil para encontrar os filhos dele, meus irmãos e irmãs, e ajudar eles achagar mais perto com Cristo.  De novo, obrigado!  Eu amo vocês.

Well, there is a little testimony in Português.  (use google translator)  I love you guys and hope you have a great week!  Tell everybody hi for me.  And wish Alec luck for me.  I´ll let you know how Apucarana is next week!  Tchau!

Love,
Elder Halpin
