Shane got his call!!! I’m not gonna lie, I’ve
been looking forward to finding out where he is going all week! That is so
awesome!!! He’s gonna love it and is going to see some amazing things, Best
news of the week!
Our week wasn’t all that exciting. It was
Carnival on Tuesday and that meant lots of parades, drinking and loud music.
Also meant that we had to be at home by 6:00... not cool. But we were able to
teach a few lessons during the morning and we did some service and de-shelled
some beans. That combined with being out of our area for an entire week left us
really unorganized but things started settling down by Thursday and we had a
pretty good week.
Two really awesome things happened this week.
First: A came back! This is the guy that was supposed to be baptized
a month ago but was then "kidnapped" by his aunt and taken out of
town forever. He finally came back and is super excited to be baptized this
week.
Second: We have been working with this couple
for almost two months now and they both have received spiritual witnesses that
the church is true. The only problem has been getting them to church!!! However
the father, I, went to church for the first time yesterday and he absolutely
loved it! We taught them both last night and he couldn’t stop talking about how
strong the Spirit was and how happy he is. Now all he wants to do is change his
life and get baptized so that his family can be together forever. He told his
"wife" (they’re not married yet but we’re working on it) about six or
seven times that she needs to go to church and next week they are both going to
go together. It was amazing!!!
So that’s about it. It’s the last week of
transfers and I really don’t want to leave São Filipe. I love this island and
the people here are amazing. There are going to be a lot of changes in the
mission though and I have no idea what is going to happen. We’ve gotta prepare A this week though so we’ve got a lot of work to do. I’m so pumped!
Love you all!
