Hello again,
This week was busy, and as with every week I am worn out. Every night I fall on my bed and sink into blissful sleep. My shower doesn´t work so every morning I wash under a cold stream from a faucet in the shower. My toilet also is broken so I have to fill a tub with water whenever I go to flush. But I don´t say these things to complain. I mean, for the first time in my life I have a bathroom to myself and there is a humanitarian couple on the island over who says they will try to get these things fixed. And really we missionaries have it much better than most of the people in our area. But by now I am used to the people here and I love them. We are taching this guy named Stiven who will be baptized this saturday. He is great and it is a great story because when I first got to Porto Novo we teaching him and he was homeless, and addicted to drugs, but he has come so far through the efforts of members and missionaries. We had a division with the zone leaders on wednesday which I was nervous for because I would have take the lead for the entire day. But it ended up being good, and we found 10 new investigators. I attached a picture of some bell peppers, onions, and tomatoes that I cut to show that unlike a lot other companionships here we eat other food besides rice and beans. It is fun and adds some spice to our day. We try to make icecream and it is good but not like in the USA. Just today the humanitarian couple took us with them to the top of the island to teach a school of kids how to brush their teeth. It was fun and cool to see the island from the top. We are teaching this couple who will be married on the 17th of November and then baptized on the 18th. Their names are Salvador and Lenny. The work here is good, but the temperature in Porto Novo is one of the hottest in all of Cabo Verde. There is this nice strong family of members by the name of Oliveira and they are nice to us and showed us this bird they have. Though a mission is not easy nor easily described, I will say that it is not something that I would miss out on for the world. I love my Savior.
