Crazy, strange week

I uploaded some pictures and even a video this week, so this email will probably be pretty short.

To begin, I am without a companion as of Wednesday. My old companion is taking some time at the mission office then will be getting a new area. No idea when I will be getting a new companion. For the meantime I am working with Elder Nielsen and Elder Evangelista. They are both killer people and Elders. Super awesome teachers and because of Elder Evangelista's nationality of Brazil, clearly he speaks Portuguese well (though like a Brazilian which is an accent, like a sickness that you can catch if you're around it too much). That means I have walked a lot in their area and have been able to see another teaching style and way of doing things, very interesting.

Lots of the kids around call the missionaries Moses and Abraham due to a TV show 10 Commandments. But now that we are in a tripla they call us "Pedro, Tiago and João" (Peter, James and John) which we all find pretty funny.

Like I've showed with several photos kids like to hold our hands and walk. Fun to talk with them. This week however Elder Evangelista was taking a kid back to his house and this old lady came out yelling at him, slapped him (hard, glasses went flying) and started yelling about how he was going to kill and eat her grandkid... So that was super funny afterwards. Some old ladies here love us, some don't apparently. We call our next door neighbors (very old) Grandma and Grandpa. They are super awesome and always give us fruits and stuff (same couple who's tree we chopped down).

That is pretty much it for the week. Updates of comps and such to come next week if I get a new one. Enjoy the photos!

Thanks for the emails and everything!

Elder Howell
