UM..... Well.....

Well, here i am once again. Reporting in from costa rica. This week went by pretty awesomely. As ya´ll know i am now with Elder Martinez. He´s cool, and we decided to start our time out well with a BAPTISM!!!!!!! Yep thats right, saturday we baptised An 11 year old girl named Tatiana. When i say we baptised her, what i mean is that her family suddenly decided to come back to church.... First her grandpa Hernan came back, and we called him to be the second counselor in the branch... Next thing you know He brings his daughter and her three kids to church. So, we (hernan) baptised the daucçghter, and we are now working on sending her nineteen year old brother on a mission. I would be lying if i said we aren´t working super hard. Things are great here. The zone is working harder everyday, and we have two(possibly three) baptirms planned for this next week. I sure do love being here!!!!
You may notice my beautiful tie in this picture. Every time we went to visit her i would ask her whose tie was better, mine or my companions... Three times she said my companions, so i decided that for her baptism i was going to whip out the special teams, so, i opened up my special zip-lock bag and pulled out a silk tie(not pictured in the picture from a few weeks ago) i wore it to the baptism, and as soon as we got home, put it right back in the bag. When i got here, i found out that silk ties don´t hold up well in the whole humidity heat rain thing.... Anyway, thats about all i have for now. Thanks ya´ll for the support. You are awesome.
Love, Elder Haws

Ps. shanna... You know:)

ITS ME ELDER HAWS!!!!

Well, it turns out it is really hard to upload things here, so sorry about that. I am trying, but i just don´´t have time.... IT TAKES SO LONG. Well, this week, we had transfers and i am now comps with Elder Martinez from Choluteca, Honduras. He has a few mopre months in the mish than i do. He is a great missionary. Remember elder nay from the mtc? elder martinez was his trainer here in the mission. He is a Really hard worker and really animated( i mean excited....) I am teaching him really well how to be a zone leader!!! Our zone has really low numbers, and now we are starting to get better and better. I am really excited to be with him.
Also Elder Soto got trasfered to our zone, so now i will get to see him while he finishes the mission.
This week we have been finding lots of new investigators and we put 3 baptyism dates. They should all come through for us.
Today for pday, we went to our branch presidents little ranch in the misddle of the jungle. We hicked forever, but it was worth it. this is about the coolest waterfall i have ever seen!!! so heres a good video.


Well, i will be sure to keep you updated on all the miracles that will happen this change. Yours always,
Elder Haws

Yep...

Well, this week was crazy. We went to san jose to a missionary training via satelite with elder cook. It was great. We learned a lot. Also this week Chunk got married. Congrats chunk!!! While everyone was at the reception in decided it was time to organize my ties.... So i touhgt i would share with you. This doesn't include the silk ones that i have stored in a ziplock bag so the rain doesn't kill them.
Thats basically my week. We spent a lot of time traveling to san jose and didn't really get much time to be missionarries... Yep, thats all i got.... Sorry if it isn't cool, i will try really hard to be cool next week....

Oh also, today we had no plans, so i made the goal to climb a tree... Unfortunately it started raining before i found a good tree to climb... Sorry

Love Elder Haws

YEAH!!!

Well, this week went fast. I went to Buenos aires on divisions to do 3 baptismal interviews. We worked so hard that when we got home i was "dominated by the spirit" and i just passed out on the bed asleep at 850(we got home early). Next, on saturday we had the baptism of Joseline. She is the daughter of a recently reactivated brother from the ward. She is nine years old.

Also, i noticed that the fire extinguisher in our shurch is overcharged....
This is a picture that some lady took of us... I think she was trying to not have the door in the picture..... Oh well its just a once in a life time picture.... Casey, photo shop it!
Later, we found a giant bug....
I also took a pictuer almost eating it... But it was gross so i spared you all the grossness....

Well, thats about it for this week. Everything is going great. We are working hard, adn ready for changes!!!!

I love you all who read this, and if love is innapropriat... I like you.....

Peace, love Elder Haws

Ps. beware of pigflu!

Ok Heres my week in a quick nutshell. Fist i went on divisions to san vito, and while ther i ate bananas....

Next on friday(pday was changed due to semana santa) We went to the top of a mountain where i saw the ocean...... Unfortuanetely i was playing with my camara so you will have to imagine these two pictrures together....
This is what i looked like hiking through the jungle..... (brady you will recognize my shirt....i found it here for like 3 dollars...)
This is when i saw monkeys while we were hiking

Heres the view from the very very top of the montain....
Heres a spider that we found at the very top of that mountain...
This is a choza at the very tippy top of the mountain. If you look hard you can see a light bulb there covered in a plastic bottle... I thought that was neat.

Mom i thought you would like this....Also this week i taught my comp how to yo yo....... YEAH he is good at it.



(all of the last stuff was from last pday... Friday, now we are to this pday... today)

Today we went to Paso Canoas... On the border of panama to do some shopping., so i figured i might as well get a picture by the sign....

Well, thats all. I am still working hard and all that good stuff. Still love you all, and all that stuff too,
