More pics

So, with my great facebook stalking skills (as Richard would call them) I was able to procure a couple new picture of Richard in his new area (Povoa de Varzim) with his old companion (Elder Sorenson) Elder Sorenson was transferred right after Christmas. Here are some pic, but unfortunately I don't know who anybody is in the pictures.

I am sadly a little uninformed, but I found this picture and I think it is at Joc's baptism in Povoa. Richard's mission president and his wife came

new happenings

So Richard doesn't write all that much so here is a little of what's been going on. He also sent me the blog that his mission president's wife does so here's the link

Well this week I got a new companion his name is elder tolman and he has a girlfriend waiting for him too so we have some fun talks and he is from Idaho and went to BYUI and now his girlfriend goes there her name is Lassie I don't know maybe you might have run into her there. And we had a lesson the other day with Joc the boyfriend of the bishops daughter and we asked him to be baptized and he said yes but here is the real kicker he is going to get baptized this coming sunday... its so fast but he said the quicker the better so that was really cool and i felt the spirit while we were talking to him about it.
Well thats bascially been this week and this week to come im sure Ill have alot more to tell you.

But wow there have been some crazy stuff going on here the past week we've begone to teach this mom whose son is on a mission and its crazy how similar it is to me first the son whose on a mission his name is Richard and he has an older brother named Victor its kinda creepy. Then we started talking to this one girl in our ward and she said her boyfriend wants the lessons so we have begone to talk to him and he seems like a really cool guy.

New pics

Unfortunately, Richard didn't explain any of these so I really don't know what is going on in them, but he looks like he's lost some weight!

Interesting Week

Ola, Sou Elder Haun
I've been having an intresting week first sorry to not write you on monday things have been crazy now for the explanation. On monday we had some members from Braga come down to make a cd with one of the elders here because he is really good on guitar. But the members where all female so at least 3 elders had to be with him and that pretty much how we spent our whole p-day. I was also sick at that time so on tuesday we had planed to just chill at home but we needed some food and water so we went to buy that stuff. And found out we forgot our keys that was around 10 in the mourning so we walked to the other elders house talked to them eat lunch went and taught a lesson to Nanda one of our really good investigators and went back to our home talked to out neighbor and she let us hop over her from her house to our house. And we got back into our house around 6 at night. And right now I'm in Porto getting ready to renew my visa thing here. But yea it was so much fun, things I'll never forget. So when are you going to turn in your papers. By the way its funny because your doing what I was doing this time last year working on the paper work.

Well have a great week

Its been a while

So here's the latest news with Richard,
!!Real quick langauge lesson!! here in portugal they don´t have the i before e rule at all so its not Lieria its Leiria just wanted to let you know.(Thats not meant to be rude so if you kinda toke it as rude i´m sorry)But yea things are going great here we have three investigators that I could see being baptized either this month or next. And we are really building up the lines with are members, I feel like Leiria is going to explode soon and soon be split into two wards maybe in a year or less. And i´m having a great time here with my companion and my district they are all such cool guys and I can see myself hanging out with them after the mission. And one of the other Elders has kinda talked me into going to BYU Hawaii for at least a little while I think it would be cool. I´ll be getting my first hair cut today from a portugese person I´ll be sure to send some pics next week. And for thanksgiving we were asked to make fruit salad and a pie so I´m getting really excited because I really want to make a really cool pie and my companion told me that im not allowed to make cookies or brownies anymore (they were just too good and he eats a ton of them and he is trying to lose weight).
Just remember that God is always ready to help you and I can not tell you how many time he has helped me on my mission thus far.
Love,
Elder Haun

October 5th

This week has been great we had some good lessons and met some weird people lol.
For general con. we had to go to Coimbra to watch it but it was a fun trip. We started by just going to another town that has a train that goes to Coimbra and we knew the elders their so we spent the night their. And in the morning we all headed out to Coimbra and when we got their we didn't have much time so we had to just go to the chapel with all of our stuff. I had to watch the Saturday first session in Portugese so I didn't really understand much and after that session it was time to head out so we went got some food and went to our zone leaders house and we slept their. Sunday morning we got up and headed back to the chapel to watch priest hood then two other sessions after that we got on a bus back to Leira. I was so tried.
But I really liked the talks they were all so good and I was able to feel the spirit really strong.
By the way it was transfer week and I'll be staying here in Leira for at least one more transfer. But my companion is out and I heard a little about my new companion and he sounds way cool and he's Mexican too. I'm kinda happy to be getting a new companion its nice to have a change every now and then and I'm excited to have my second companion in the mission field.
Well I got to write some other people so I'll talk to you next week and I'll tell you about my new companion.
