Várzea week 3

And another week passes by. This morning we played beach volleyball with the other Elders from our zone and it was a fun time. It was very tempting to go for a swim though. This last weekend was the festival of São João batista. It was a bunch of Apostacy, profanity, sin, and confusion. All supposedly in the name of God. The center of it was right in our area. We tried to stay away from it as much as possible, but the work was still rough. We have a lot of iniquity in our area which means we have a lot of former members or members who come up to us drunk on the street and saying that they were members and want to change their lives for the better. The problem is that they only say this when they are drunk. We had the baptisms of Melani, Wilma, and Alaine this last saturday. Everything ran well, and they are now members of the church. This Sunday I learned a lot about ministering and I know that if the members in Cabo Verde will minister in the Saviors way that the population of members here will grow dramatically. Even to the point where half the population of Cabo Verde could be Members. I am grateful for this opportunity to help that happen.
