Fernando Pó week 2

This week in Fernando Pó, which is in the city of Mindelo on the island of São Vicente, we worked harder still, and I have learned a lot from my new companion. Carnival is tomorrow and we had a conference in our zone just to come up with ways to protect our investigators from the temptations and evil. Actually Carnival has already been going on for a while but the main day is tomorrow. Luckily our ward is having an activity that day so we can go to that for most of the day. Today I was able to play soccer with all the other Elders in Mindelo. There is about fourteen of us and it was fun. I did not have an opportunity to do this on Santo Antão. Here in Mindelo there are also a lot more things available such as food, cloths, etc. As far as the work goes I would say that people are a little more accepting here. We are teaching this old guy who is progressing at the rate of a turtle. He reminds me of Yoda with all the wise sayings he has. I suppose his height has something to do with it too. We are helping him drop coffee and he has stopped but he has bad headaches now. We normally offer a substitute coffee called Brasa or Boleiro to help people stop drinking. We have a few baptismal dates marked with some rapazes or young men. They are pretty cool. Anyway things are going here in Cabo Verde. Here is a picture from out my apartment window.
