This week Sister
Tongi and I threw an Island Luao in the church for the whole of Assomada.
Sister Tongi has been teaching hula to the mocas (young woman) and a few of our
investigators - Suely and Heriana. We performed our hula and the Elders
performed the haka with some recent members, including our recent baptism
Jardel - he was front and center and looking fierce! We also taught everyone
the Cupid Shuffle during the party. The members made Kachupa and cakes and I
was in charge of decorations (heaven!). All
of the missionaries had investigators attend and the night ended up being a big
success!
This week I also
went on divisions with my Sister Training Leader Sister Spolador. We had some
great lessons and I learned a new technique for relieving stress - whacking at
a pig head with a machete.
Yesterday was
transfers.... and my killer companion Sister Tongi was transferred to Santo
Antao. I'm really going to miss that crazy girl - she's one awesome missionary.
I will be staying in Assomada for another transfer with Sister Cardoso. She is Cabo Verdean and doesn't speak English
- so this will be my transfer to really practice Portuguese (and a little
Creole too). Assomada is a tough area but I have a lot of friends here
and I'm happy this wasn't good-bye. Except for with Sister Tongi - good thing we
live close by each other in the USA.
Well, with transfer
craziness that is all for this week. Ate mais logo!
Loves,
Sister Hanzel |
