Elder Houghtaling's Email
Tuesday, March 26, 2018
Probably the last weekly email of my mission.
General Conference will be complicated in this stake because
the stake and wards will not be having a re-transmission of the priesthood
session that’ll be happening 9pm-11pm. I’m currently asking permission for my
entire district be home way late so they can be edified by our leaders.
You don’t have to break a law to keep a smaller missionary
rule. I’m saying in other terms that it might have been better for you to take
them out of the area than risk running a ticket or, even worse an accident.
I’m glad Lamb of God went well!! I’ll be there next year!
The Semus family moved to where, again? I don’t remember.
But, I’m glad they visited!
I’m in the book of Alma, nearing chapter 50.
Literally, the only two lan houses in my area were closed.
Well, one lan house was closed and the other lan house’s internet wasn’t
working, so we went to downtown Cotia in the area of Cotia 2 to use the Lan
house there. Today, we took materials from our church to the mission office then
got stuck inside of the mall near the temple and office because of rain, which
delayed us to get back in the area. Luckily, a church member from our ward who
works in the church office building offered to take the box of Books of Mormons
to the church on his way back home.
I emailed you a list of people here that I would like you to give my phone number to. The reason why I’m having you give my number to those people is so they can call me and I can mark when I’ll be visiting there house.
I would like you to bring me a Winter jacket and a Spring
jacket, so I can have the choice of what to wear. I’m not sure if Chick-Fil-A
has the capacity for everyone, but that would be great. Other options might be
Outback and that restaurant in front of Sam’s.
I don’t need more deodorant so please don't send any with Paula Burt when she comes to pick up Elder Kyle Burt.
NO CALLING CARD, PLEASE! Thank you, but I would rather wait until I see you. You can check up on the flight progress on Flight Aware. Just get the flight numbers from delta.com with the code; JNBQYH.

Is Wendi alright after the accident?

If you have any more photos, send them, as I’m in this Lan
house for the next hour.
I'm very trunky...
What did that box go through? When I sent it, it wasn't that
beat up... But at least it got there.
Elder Brown will be training for his last two transfers and
staying in Cotia 1. If he stays in Cotia 1 for the next two transfers, he’ll be
in the same ward, and area for 6 transfers.
Today, I’ll be on P-day until 15:00, when we have to be at
the mission office. At 14:30 I will be interviewed by President Thomas. We’ll
be having a Family Home Evening, and a dinner with President and Sister at
their house. Tomorrow, I’ll have nothing to do until I get on Delta 104.
My flight home will consist of three flights;
GRU-ATL DAL104
ATL-DTW DAL1805
DTW-AZO GJS6230
If you use the codes I’ve given to you above and put them
into flightaware.com,
you can see my flights’ status.
Tomorrow, I might go somewhere with Elder Siglin to look for
more stuff.
Also, today I’ll try to visit a few other members of Jd.
Caxingui. I thought that Edi lived in Provo.
In the past 3 days I’ve visited a few people from Helena
Maria (Rosi and Roni), Nova Granada (Sandra and Odair), Raposo Tavares (Edilson
and Rita), and Bonfiglioli (Vivian, Jerry, and Erik).
According to baggage weigher, my bags weigh around 55 pounds
each. They were heavier, but I had to leave lot of shirts behind. Maybe some
missionary will need them.
I’m alright with Chick-fil-A, or outback. But remember that
the last meal I’ll be eating is a Delta Breakfast, before 6am.
Alright... Because we are meeting with President Decker at 7:00pm,
instead of 6:00pm, I can wait another hour to be released. It’s better than the
day after.
I LOVE YOU!!!!!!!!
