Dear Family Halpin

It was great receiving your son Elder Halpin in Maringá, yesterday he was transferred to Apucarana and left us with much saudade. Saudade is a word that only exists in Portuguese. It means that we are going to miss him a lot.
Sister Janette, you raised your son so well. He is adorable, very polite, always grateful, always smiling,  has such a nice spirit and he is always serving on the ward. All the sisters loved Elder Halpin since the first day he got here.
He already speaks everything in Portuguese and we understand him perfectly. Yesterday he was here, had lunch and took pictures. Thank you so much for staying away from your son for two years, I know that the families from Brazil will be blessed from meeting him and getting to know the gospel.
He didn’t teach the gospel to my family but he taught us that we should be grateful, polite and humble. He was a great missionary every day here in Maringá.
