HEY!
Sorry for the lateness but I haven’t had any
time this week to write. Don’t worry, I’m still alive! Life in Cape Verde has
been a little crazy this past couple days and we haven’t had much time to do
anything. We had some emergency transfers on Monday to solve a few problems
that we were having here in Praia and now we are preparing for the mission tour
next week with Elder Kearon, member of the First Quorum of the Seventy. We’ve
had a lot to do but I’m learning a lot.
These last two days we had an emergency Zone
Leader’s Council. We haven’t quite started the year off like we should have and
we have some work to do to bring it back up. If we don’t start now, it’s going
to be extremely hard to meet our goal. The last two days were amazing and
I learned so many things that I need to work on. President invited some younger
missionaries to the council because we have to start preparing the future
leaders of this mission. We are receiving 10 new missionaries in a month and by
August we are supposed to have received 70. This place is going to explode! But
not if we don’t solve these issues and get things going again.
We had a baptism last week and she is pretty
amazing. Her name is L and she is only 12 years old. However, she bore
her testimony twice this week and both times she started crying. The Spirit has
really prepared her and now we are going to start working with her mom.
I’m still getting to know my new
responsibilities but we basically just help President in everything. We work
with him for transfers, organize zone conferences and zone leader’s councils
and have some work in the office. I’m, still getting used to everything but
I’ve learned a lot.
I’ll have to write more next week (if I have
time, Elder Kearon gets here on Monday). Hope everything is doing well and I
love you all!
