É Módi?
The time passes by so fast out here. Months seem
like weeks and weeks seem like days. Especially when you are constantly
travelling! This week we went to Assomada!! It was the first time I have been
back there in over a year, since I was transferred to Praia. A lot has changed
but I was able to see a few of my recent converts and a lot of the members who
helped us when I was there. I don’t know what it is about Assomada but it is
definitely one of my favorite areas. I would love to serve there again but I don’t
think that is going to happen anytime soon.
Our week was pretty busy, as we have to start
transfer preparations. We did have some time to work in our area though and
things are going really good. Our ward is seriously exploding and the members
are getting super excited. Between us and the other set of elders in our ward
we had 26 investigators at church yesterday. Principles of the Gospel class is
always packed and the chapel becomes more and more full every Sunday. We have a
new ward mission leader and he is incredible! He had this vision of where he
wants the ward to be as far as missionary work and he is going to work with all
of the quorum and auxiliary leaders to make sure it happens. We have a family
that is preparing to be baptized this upcoming Saturday and the ward is helping
us out a ton. It’s going to be a good week and it’s going to be kind of
nice to stay in my area for a while, at least until next transfer that
is.
I don’t really know what else to write. Life in
Cape Verde is pretty awesome. It’s super hot out right now but that doesn’t
even really bother me anymore. We’ve got a lot of work to do this week to
prepare this family for baptism and to help the rest of our investigators
prepare themselves. Hope everything is going well in Canada. I love you all and
hope you have a good week|

P.S. Here are some pictures from my trip to
Mindelo and Santo Antão. Some are from the boat and some are in the mountains
in Ribeira Grande. They don’t really do justice to what I saw though.
