Week 3 in Porto Novo

       This week was very busy, and I am happy to say that we had a baptism on Saturday for Davi. I did not Baptise him but it was great to teach him and talk to him. We didn't really have any problems with him and he flew through the lessons and next he will recieve the Priesthood. One interesting thing about Cabo Verde is that there are many poor people. There are almost no people here who are even middle class. It has really made me grateful for the things I have and had. We have another couple who lives together that we have taught all of the lessons to. They will be married in november and then baptised. Their names are Salvador and Lenny. Salvador works at a Barber shop and he will probably give me a haircut soon. They have a little baby and another one on the way. nobody is really married here because of the cost so that is always a challenge. One day we found one of our investigators drunk and he talked to us for a while and we brought him home and put him to bed. Tomorrow we go to Rebeira Grande, which is on the other side of Santa Antao to go on splits with the missionaries there. It is supposed to be more green there and cooler. Sometimes fog roles in and you can't see much. We generally try to do our missionary work in the late afternoon and evening because it is cooler and more people are home. One of my companions is going to his mission in Portugal today so soon I will be in a normal companionship. I ate some papaya last night that a member gave to me and I realized it's not good. Everything is going good and my Portuguese is improving. I know the church is true. Lastly sorry about no pictures but I think Elder Oliveira broke my usb converter.
