Week 38 ~ Chatting with a Jehovah's Witness

Hello family!

One more week come and gone!  This week has been a lot of work and running after Luiz.  We showed up at his house a lot of the times we had scheduled with him, and he wasn't there.  We finally talked to him though a couple days before the marked date and he was excited.  Then the next day he said his grandma wouldn´t allow the baptism, and we talked it through for him to at least have an interview.  The date fell through but he said he would go to church, but surprise he wasn't there.  Sometimes it gets pretty frustrating with people, but I still love them.  But we don't know what to do with Luiz now, sometimes its just tricky.
The other day we were knocking doors and met a Jehovah´s Witness.  Now those people are always fun!  He said we had no idea what we were talking about but we just read some scriptures with him, bore testimonies, and told him lots of stuff.  It was pretty interesting because we could see he started to get scared and shaking and all that, so it was just crazy being bashed but then just through simple stuff he knew he was wrong.
Transfers are today and of as right now it appears I will stay here with Elder Millett another 6 weeks, but there is confusion right now, so I have no idea for sure.  It is really good here, but sometimes I am the type that would like to move around a little bit and get things switched up every once in a while.  I guess we´ll see what happens.
It looks like you guys are having an awesome week!  I can't believe you guys are back there in Florida!!!  How are the rides?  Anything else new there?  That sucks that those idiots stole Mailee's purse!  Tell her I´m sorry for that!  But keep the pictures coming!!!  I hope you guys continue to have an awesome week.  Keep safe there in Florida and know I always love you guys!!!  Tell Al, Jack and Mailee hi for me.
Thank you again for all that you do!

Love
Elder Halpin
