Hows everyone doing? Its crazy to think that another week as already gone by. I think about all the next stuff that has been going on this past week and there really isnt that much... everything is going about the same. The work is definitely getting better though, my companion and i work well together and we have fun too. We found some way cool families this week and some new people to teach. One of them was taught for the first time on saturday and he was already in the church with us on sunday. Luis will be baptized next week and then the week after we have a 17 year old girl named daniella who will be baptized. It was pretty cool cause when i first started teaching her with my other companion i didnt really know if she was very interested, but all the sudden she just started to do everything all on her own like going to church every week. She already has a brother who is on a mission and a bunch of friends who are members so it was easy to get her ready. One cool thing is that me and my companion are being working hard and i feel like we are being blessed for it. There are lots of companionships that do tons and tons of contacts without anyone really caring to talk to them. But we are working hard and when our lessons fall we will go start contacts and usually people will let us in right off. Last night our lesson fell and the first door we hit was a 30 year old lady and before i even said me name she told us to come in. Her husban was there and her sister and her friend showed up during the lesson too and it went awesome. She said that she didnt like to follow churches cause they all just taught a bunch of different things that she didnt like and all the churches here just want money, but when we taught her she really liked it. We have like 10 people who have already promissed us to go to church next sunday so im pretty excited.
One cool thing that happened the other day is that while we were walking around we saw two guys in the street and one of them was carrying a shark around that he killed when he went scuba diving out from the beach here. It was only like 3 feet long but he told me that he has killed a lot bigger. When i asked him if he was afraid of them he said "no way" and then pointed to some random drunk guy next to us and said " Im a lot more afraid of that guy, you never know if he is going to through a glass bottle or rock at me!" It was pretty funny cause its true haha these people are crazy and just like to drink... but the drunk people really like us missionaries! They start talking with us and they wont stop.
So we had our zone conference this week and it went well, my companion and i had to give a training for over 2 hours. Im thinking it will be my last as zone leader though cause i have been it for a long time. We have our zone leaders counsel in praia this week too on wednesday so i will get to see praia again.
