Hello!


So just for you all to know, here in Cape Verde we have 2 seasons: the hot season and the super hot and sweaty season! We are currently leaving the hot season and entering into the super hot and sweaty season. Gotta love it! We had a pretty good week though, despite being a bit disorganized. We missed a day of teaching on Monday because of Elder Hill´s ankle and then we had to work to find a lot of our investigators again. That always seems to happen when you travel, you always have to come back and find people again. Things are going pretty good though.

C´s cousin D was baptized this weekend so that was definitely the highlight of the week. As usual, nothing really ran according to plan but he was baptized and is pretty happy. Satan always seems to try and put in some last minute attempts to put a stop to things but Heavenly Father is always in control and things always work out in the end. It’s really good to see the support that our recent converts receive from the other members and it helps out a ton. Things would be a lot harder here if we had to do everything alone. 

Not much else has changed though. We are going back to Mindelo again for zone conference so once again we will be out of our area. The zone conference was supposed to be next month but because of flight issues we had to do it this week in order to do it before the end of the transfer. Not your ideal situation but it needs to be done. We’re going to have a good week though and we had some really awesome new investigators show up for church yesterday. 

It’s so crazy to think that Shane is leaving already! I hope he enjoys the MTC, it seems to be a lot different from when I was there. I’m super excited for him though and I know that he is going to help a lot of people in Winnipeg. 

I don’t really have much else to write though. The work is going good and I am loving life in Cape Verde. Have a good week!
