Hey Everyone!

This week has been pretty awesome!  This week, we had companionship exchanges and I was with Elder Carneiro.  He’s great!  He’s from Brazil.  I learned a lot from him.  We had one lesson together.  It was really great.  He let me do a lot of explaining, ha ha, but it was good because I feel like we taught more in unity.  I was a little nervous though because they asked a question, and I looked to Elder Carneiro, and he just kept his mouth shut.  So I answered, but it was actually not a half bad answer!  It really boosted my confidence because usually Elder Llavilla will just answer, but I was glad for the opportunity.  He’s a great zone leader and a really good guy.

We also went to a branch activity there and I was talking to a member who served his mission in Provo, Utah!  It was crazy because he’s from Chile and he speaks perfect English.  He’s also a huge NFL fan, so we were talking about football a lot, as well.  So that was pretty awesome, ha ha.

The other day, Elder Llavilla and I were out contacting, and we saw these three drunk guys, and they wanted to talk to us, so we went over for a bit.  They were talking so fast and slurring words, so I had no clue what they were saying.  Llavilla later told me they were swearing up a storm, lol.  But one of them had the funniest shirts I have seen since I’ve been here.  (I took a picture with the guy, lol.)

Well, that’s about it.  Thanks guys for your support.  I love you guys!

Love,

Elder Halverson
