Várzea week 1

Well things are still going well here in Praia. I am focusing on exterminating bedbugs from our house right now and I hope that I can avoid these things in the future. Other than that this area is really cool. It is right in the busy part of the city but we mostly talk to people in the shanty towns all around. The members are cool and we are preparing two couples for marriage on the 12th of july. It was three but one couple will not because they are trying to go to America and marrying would complicate visa stuff. We have a cool family preparing for baptism on the 23rd. I am excited for the rest of this transfer. The summer here is hot but I will get through it. They are starting to sell mangos now on the streets. Elder Gricius is a great missionary and he is ending his mission here in a few weeks. I learned this week from a talk that sometimes we need the faith NOT to be healed, or given a miracle.
