week 9

I realize that my titles might be boring but I try to think of creative ones and they just do not come to me. The past two days of General Conference were great, but I don´t need to tell you all that. This time I actually understood it so it was a great inprovement from the last one. The change made in the Priesthood Quorums doesn´t affect Cabo Verde because we have always had combined quorums. As always our old friend Olímpio hobbled his way into Conference(actually he his very fit for his age). He is struggling to give up smoking completely, but he has always been stubborn. He was the first person I taught here in Fernando Pó. On Sunday after the morning Priesthood session all the Mindelo missionaries ate a breakfast and socialized at the Gerritsons apartment. Pancakes, Krepes, fruit, and brownies. This morning we got up at 4:30 to hike from our house to the top of Monte Verde. It was incredible. I will include more pictures next week. Just know that the wind was raging up there. It felt like 50mph in the direction of the edge of the cliff. The city of Mindelo is behind me. Once in a lifetime opportunity.
