Oct 12, Letter Home

This week has been pretty good, I got a little sick at the start of the week but I lived and we were able to work everyday. We got a few new investigators which was really good and we taught a lot of lessons. We have a strange Nigerian who calls himself Water, he is about my age but he loves to talk to us. He was drunk the first night we talked with him and smoking the next night, but he is actually getting better each time we talk and he came to church yesterday. We had a bunch of investigators here yesterday so that was pretty feesh, we also commited two young men to be baptized, one 17 and the other 21 and they seem really excited about it. The 17 year old said that he was reading in the book of mormon and that he all the sudden just felt that it was true, it was so cool when he told us that! He definitely has potentail to be a missionary one day. We teach lots of young guys here which is different than how things used to be done here. It used to be where missionaries would just teach women cause they are nicer and easier to teach, but now with all the guys we are teaching it may not be as easy but there are a lot more priesthood holders and missionaries from here. We also try to focus on the familes, there is one family who I love teaching and the guy is a member but his wife isnt and they have two kids. We are really working on marriage with them (nobody wants to get married here) and its hard work but we are making some progress. We also teach a guy named Djojinho and his girlfriend Ghandi and they have a kid on the way and we are working on marriage with them. Djojinho speaks very little Portugues, its mainly just Creolo with him and he is in the military but I love talking to both of them, we visit them a lot. Well there are too many stories to name so you guys will just have to wait for 21 more months to get all the stories.

So my address is...> > C.P. 420> Praia, Santiago> Cabo Verde
