Sorry I don’t have a ton of time
this week. All the missionaries in the world had to fill out a
questionnaire for something.
The news came at 11 o’clock last
night. I will be staying here in Villa Graciela. My awesome companion
is leaving to be a zone leader in Potosí though. I’m super excited to be
staying though. I will meet my new companion sometime this week. He
has a ton of time in the mission and will be the new district leader here.
Elder Chavez will be the new
secretary of records for the mission so I’m super sad that he’s leaving.
The offices aren’t too far from here though, so I’ll get to see him every
once in a while. Another American is coming to
replace Elder Chavez.
There is a picture of us making funeral
potatoes with my dinner pensionista. We burned the bottom but besides
that they turned out well. Ovens just have gas fire and you can’t choose
a temperature. Everyone thought they were very good.

My lunch pensionista’s husband was
baptized this week. They were just waiting to get married. The
marriage started half an hour late, what a surprise. Bigger surprise was
that they asked me to play apologize on the piano during the wedding. (Surprising because Elder Howlett doesn't play the piano. He learned 2 popular songs by watching YouTube videos before his mission.) I
just played it slowly for about 20 minutes including as they walked down the
aisle. Probably won’t ever be the pianist at a wedding again.

Over half of the new missionaries
arriving are hermanas (sister missionaries) this cambio. Pretty crazy.
Elders Olson and Rhoton are leaving
but Elder Crankshaw is staying in my district.
I got to go on splits with Elder
Rhoton this Tuesday. Our Spanish is a lot better because we did a lot of
door knocking and didn’t have any trouble communicating.
I’ll write a longer letter next
week, have an awesome week!
Love,
Elder Howlett

Looking good Elder Howlett! Much love from the Azores!
