I LOVE IT HERE...Minus the cockroaches
that are everywhere in our apartment... Whenever we get home the first thing we
do is smash all the little baby "baratas" that are on our study
table. And for some reason our Area Book is ALWAYS full of cockroaches. EVERY
DAY. We also have bed bugs Hahahaha

But honestly, I love
it here! It was a little hard to adjust to mission life at first, but now that
I've got the hang of it I love it! I love teaching people every day and helping
them come closer to Christ. In the MTC Elder Holland gave a talk called,
"missions are forever". He said in that talk that you shouldn’t go
through your mission waiting to go back to, "real life". Because your
mission is the closest thing to, "real life" you'll ever have.
When he said that I literally had NO IDEA what he meant, but after teaching the
Plan of Salvation a million times I think I'm starting to get it: The purpose
of this life is about preparing to meet God, and helping other do the same.
And thats exactly what I'm doing! And I'm
loving it!
Speaking of the Plan
of Salvation, let me tell you what happens in Cabo Verde when someone dies:
Everyone, like EVERYONE goes to the house of the person who died and does a,
"death cry" (like think moaning and crying and yelling all at the
same time) and guess when your supposed to make this visit? SUNDAY MORNING.
I don't like it when people die. It makes it really hard to get anyone to some
to church, members and investigators! And... I'm sorry to say, but I swear
someone dies everyweek!
