This was a really
good week! We had a baptism on Saturday, our "little brother" Jardel.
He's Maria de Jesus' son and we're excited because now they can help each other
grow and progress together.

The women that vend
around our apartment know us really well now. They're loud and funny and we
look forward to our "Boa Tarde!" everyday as we leave to proselyte.
This morning I was on my way to throw our trash in the dumpster outside when
one of the vending ladies started shouting at me in Creole that I should stop
throwing my garbage away and should instead give it to her - for her pigs. I
laughed and we bargained in Creole for a second, I'll give her my garbage, and
she'll give me mangos.
Certain days the
work is really long, and sweaty, and you wonder why you're hiking this hill for
the four hundredth time. But then Heavenly Father gives you an investigator
like Suely, who just needed some good girl talk, or Heriana, who needed a BFF
to talk to about her school stresses. These two chickas make me feel happy and
needed and I love all of our lessons and chats and inside jokes and adventures.
Suely has a baptism date marked for this Saturday, and they are both dancing in
our Island Luao this Friday at the church. All of Assomada is invited, and I'm
excited for Assomada to see these girlies hula!
