Hey Ya´ll,
Nothing really crazy
happened this week. Thusday and Friday I was on Divisions with one of our
Sister Training Leaders Sister Johnson. She´s from Alabama and played
college basketball, plus she´s a really good missionary and teacher. We had a
lot of fun. While we were walking and talking in the street, I asked her what
was her favorite thing about serving in Cabo Verde, she said that Sister Matthews
(our Mission President´s wife) had once said that Cabo Verde was like our
missionary group´s secret, you can´t really picture life on these islands
unless you´ve lived it. I thought that was kind of a fun thought. It´s so true.
This week I literally watched chickens climb trees and nest in the top. We also
had days this week where lessons were impossible because of soccer games on the
radio - and if there´s not a soccer game
on the media, there´s a soccer game going on in the street. I saw the cutest
little toddler play goalie this week in the street and yell commands to his
team between two cinder blocks, he couldn´t have been older than three.
Sometimes the secret
of the Cabo Verde mission is being able to serve with força on little
sleep. We were teaching a lesson this week and after giving my part about
when Jesus Christ was on the earth and how he established his church, I thought
to myself about my Portuguese, `Wow, that went really well today!` until I
caught my companion´s quizzical eye and realized I had just taught the same
lesson we taught them the day before. Whoops! Sometimes the lessons just blend
together, but luckily the couple we were teaching didn´t seem to mind and a
little review never hurt anyone!
Yesterday for P-Day
we had a Sister´s hike and climbed to the top of Mount Vermelho behind our area.
You could see all of Praia from the top, it was quite the view.
Until next week,
fica fixe!
