So yes rainy season has started. It rained once and now were done. Ok not really it just doesn't rain in our area it rains everywhere else which is crappy for us because all of our investigators left to go plant crops and they come and go randomly so making appointments is difficult. So yes I get to spend time with my companion but not as much as I'd like, You know with work and schooling and taking care of the children we hardly have any time for ourselves. And there are 10 Zone Leaders or 5 companionship's. and I have 10 baptism if you don't count the Goncolvas family (toni tina stephanie romina). as for the most interesting thing that has happened lately....uhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh........ Some people threw rocks at us. I guess that's exciting. We were walking to an appointment and some people threw rocks at us but they didn't hit us and the rocks just kinda landed in between me and my companion and we just kinda looked at the rocks and looked at each other and shrugged and just kept going. Is that interesting enough? Well also be going to praia today and staying there tomorrow and coming back wed for a meeting with pres. Oliveira. Sorry that I don't have any medical updates for you. I could make some up though. We could pretend that the elders that live in the same house as us ate some bad chili and they started coughing up blood but that would just be a lie and that's not even that exciting. So here's something, we have a baptism this week. She's 9. Her parents are both members but somehow they didn't get it in there head to baptize their daughter when she was 8 so we had to teach here and so she'll get baptized this Saturday. Also by the end of this week we should have 10 people marked for baptism if they all don't go to plant seeds again this week. Oh and I met a 14 year old from America on Saturday and he taught with us on Sunday. He's the grandson of Ex-President Hobbson. The first mission president of the cape verde mission. He was here visiting people and he works for the ashby foundation as well so they were here working with that and his grandson (Kaden Hobbson) lives in sandy near Newcastle or on Newcastle. It was weird teaching a lesson with him because he doesn't speak Portuguese so it was just like... hi. and that's about all he did. We did have him bare his testimony and we translated for him but it was just weird and I don't think he really wanted to teach with us and it was more of a thing his grandpa/ma wanted him to do. but whatever. yeah so that's whats happening here. Hope you all have a good week
love
