This week was so AWESOME!! Every day was just
full of miracles and our area is growing like never before. So we had zone
conference this week and once again, me and my companion were in charge. It’s
really cool how the Spirit guides you as you plan for a conference like this
because all of the trainings always fall under a central theme. This weeks
theme was Alma 37:6-7 "through small and simple things, are great things
brought to pass". The Spirit was really strong throughout the entire day and
we received some really great trainings.
Best part of the week though, J and I were baptized!!! This is our miracle couple and they were so excited!
They had both prayed last weekend to know if this was really the day they
needed to get baptized and they both received answers right away. The whole
week, everything just played out perfectly and it was a real blessing to
witness their baptisms. They are both so happy and they both bore testimony at
the end of the baptism service. They are going to be strong leaders in the
church as we continue working to establish a stake here in Fogo.
We are going to Praia today for Zone Leader’s
Council so we spent most of the week preparing our two baptisms for this week.
They are all super prepared and we have been working with members who are going
to be taking care of them while we are gone. I love the members here and I
really feel like we have gained their trust. They have such a strong desire to
serve and they really make the difference in our work. It’s really comforting
to know that we can leave our area for three days and come back without
anything happening,
Other than that, nothing new happened this week.
Time goes by so darn fast and this transfer is already half way over. It’s carnival time here in Cape Verde
so lots of parties and loud music. I love it here and I hope to stay for
a very long time. Have a good week!!
