Hello family!!!
How is everything going? So this week was a lot of running around. First of all with Talia and Tamara...they left for Londrina for 2 weeks! So now we´re just waiting for them to get back. The rules with the Word of Wisdom is 4 days with coffee, black tea, alcohol, and cigarettes and 1 month for drugs like weed and crack. 7 days for breaking the law of chastity. Other than that, this week was just running around because we found a "cemetery" of ex-investigators. We had a great branch conference yesterday, and I hope this starts a turn-around for our branch and excites everybody! So, we did not have any baptisms this week but we´re still just working hard and searching.
Before transfers we had a P-Day with President Tavares today because literally our zone is the best zone of the mission! We had a little training session with him this morning, and afterwards we played volleyball and basketball and chilled with him. Then after, we went to lunch in normal clothes, it was pretty weird... then after we went back to the ward house and he announced transfers. Elder Carrell and I will stay in Alvorada and the new companion of Elder Carrell is one of the Zone Leaders and my new companion is Elder Millet, my first American companion! I am super excited for that! Our address is still the same, so maybe send whatever you want to really quickly to the house address here in Apucarana. Maybe some cards with more pictures.
So that was pretty much my week, not to much exciting but still just working hard and I´m super stoked for a new transfer to start. Pass my love to everybody, especially Grandma Jane! Tell her I am praying for her and hope she gets better! I love you tons and hope you have a great week. Oh with the money, our lunch falls through a lot here so its mainly just food that I´m buying. Also I bought all three Hunger Games books in Portuguese so that could be a big purchase and I´ll send a package home with the books soon and other things I don't want to carry around. Thank you for everything. I love you tons. Tell Al and Jack thanks for the notes. Tell Alec that a Brazilian team here just beat a Argentinian team in a big game and now Corinthians (the Brazilian team) will play against Chelsea to determine who is the best team of the world this year ha ha ha! Tell everybody I love them and tell Al, Jack and Pep I love them. Have a great week! Tchau!
Love,
Elder Halpin
