Feliz Páscoa


Happy Easter everyone! Easter here quite honestly wasn´t that big of a deal in Praia. There didn´t seem to be any more parties than normal over the weekend and a lot of people didn´t even seem to realize that it was Easter. Even in sacrament meeting we only had one talk on Christ, and it was incredible. The other talks were about primary. We had a really good week and transfers are pretty much over right now, we just have a few more missionaries that need to travel tomorrow morning and then the new missionaries come on Wednesday. I´m pretty excited for that! I am still with Elder Hill for at least another 6 weeks and it is looking possible that we serve together until the end of his mission. That would be kind of weird and yet sweet at the same time. We´re gonna have a good transfer though.

This week we had a baptism, a guy named He´s got an incredible testimony and he´s is already working with his friends, one of which will be baptized this week. The Lord really prepared this guy and once the Spirit told him what to do, he never looked back.

Today was pretty crazy and I am super tired. We had to make trips to the airport at  midnight, 4:30 AM and 7:30 AM. Needless to say, we haven´t slept very much. But I am still super happy and I am really excited for this transfer. Quite a few changes were made in the mission and with all the new missionaries coming in this mission is going to grow even faster. I don´t really have much else to write but we´re looking at another busy week. Next week we are travelling to Mindelo so with baptismal preparations, new missionaries and preparing our area for us to be gone for a week we are going to be pretty busy. I wouldn´t have it any other way though. I love you all and I hope you enjoy your Easter holidays!
