Week 12

Well it looks like this transfer is going to be 7 weeks because the President will be in Germany. This last week was pretty awesome because 1, we had the baptisms of Olímpio and Érica, and 2, because we had the visit from Elder Rasband. He and two members of the seventy spoke to us and we had time to ask questions and make comments. It was pretty powerful to be there. He told us not to whine about our areas or companions, and he spoke of using Christ to help others obey the comandments. That same night he spoke to all of the members of the Mindelo stake which includes Santo Antão, and São Nicolão. I saw some old friends from Porto Novo, and then I got to sing in the choir. Elder Rasband left us with his apostolic blessing, and shook everyone´s hand. The baptism of Olímpio and Érica was awesome as well. I almost cannot believe that Olímpio made it, but he made a ton of progress this week. It is a testimony to me that Lord really does change people´s hearts. I had the honor of baptising him. Now we are working towards some other baptisms this next month. Elder Rasband told us to keep our focus on baptising converts and I think that that is very true here. We need to make sure we are helping others in the right direction. Until next week.
