Discontra!


Modi Ki Nhos Sta?

Well this week pretty much flew past and we were gone for most of it. We went to Mindelo for the week to do divisions with the missionaries there so we were super busy all week. We had a really good week though and it was cool to spend some time with the other missionaries. I really realized how much I’ve learned and grown since the start of my mission. I was with the younger missionaries all week and I just saw some of the little things that I used to do that I’ve changed or improved as time has gone on. I still don’t know very much but I saw how much I really do have to teach the newer missionaries in the mission. I really hope I get to train before I finish my mission but my chances seem to be going down with every transfer that passes. 

Not a whole lot happened here this week though. Our plane ride home from Mindelo was delayed three hours Friday night so we didn’t get home until 3:00 in the morning Saturday. We were pretty tired but it was good to be back in our area again. We’ve got a lot of work to do this week because unfortunately, being away from your area for so long makes things difficult. We’ve got to find some of our investigators and get things going again but we should be good. President Oliveira has been travelling all month so we’ve got some stuff to get organized for when he gets back. You never seem to have enough time to get everything done but the Lord always provides a way. 

I can’t believe that Shane is leaving so fast! He’s going to love his mission, even if he has so much stuff to pack. I’m not really all that surprised that there was a blizzard. It seems to be normal about this time of year. It’s starting to get hotter here in Praia and the clouds are disappearing. We are getting into the super hot part of the year so that is going to be fun. We’ve still got a couple weeks before the transfer ends and I don’t know if I will stay with Brodie or not. Whatever happens though I know that it will be the Lord’s will. I think that’s about it though. I love you all and hope you have a good week! 

P.S. No you can’t use sunglasses as a missionary. At the moment I can’t really think of anything specific that I need. If you send anything, maybe just treats or something like that. Food is always good but I have everything else I need here. Thank you so much!
