9/20- One Year in Cabo Verde!!!

Well I wont lie i am extremely tired, we had quite the day today. All of our district headed out this morning and took a boat over to Santo Antão to spend the day there. The boat on the way out there was pretty small and the waves were pretty big.... people were throwing up all over the place on the way over and by the end it smelled really bad! My stomach is to strong for that though, dont worry. It was cool though, on the way over we had a group of dolphins that swam up to the side of us for a little bit and there were also a bunch of flying fish. Once we got over there we headed up into the mountains and it was amazing, i almost wanted to cry it was so nice! I felt like i was back in utah... it was really grean everywhere and we were clear up in the clouds, it was definitely really different from being down at sea level where its extremely hot all day long! We hiked up in there though and had a good time, i took a lot of pictures that i will send next time when i have time to download them. Santo Antao is the coolest island that i have been to yet though and right now only has two missionaries at the bottom, but i think it would be awesome to open up an area up higher in the mountains sometime. The people that live up there are literally in the middle of no where, most of them dont have any electricity or anything! They are really nice though and grow tons of fruits up there and gave us some today. I also so some cows which was pretty amazing... the only cows i had ever seen before here were in praia and they eat the trash on the streets but these cows were actually eating green grass up in the meadows! It was a fun p day though and tiring, i actually didnt have time to use internet until tonight because by the time our boat got back in it was time to go out and teach so we just had a little time between lessons and going home. This week we also went out to sal and did our division with the zone leaders there. We got to see the coolest beach i have ever seen there and we also went and taught in an area where every single house is made out of tin and cardboard and are about the size of one bedroom. It was really sad how they live there but they are really humble. I never believed before that people would be able to live in a place like that before the mission. I have a couple pictures though so i will send them to you guys. Other than that it was a decent week but full of challanges! Nobody really wants to really do anything here and we werent able to get anyone in church this week. All the missionaries in this area are having challenges but we will get things changed... Its a fight out here but we´ll win it. We still have a few really cool investigators so thats why im a little bit confused on why they didnt show up... i think the rain might have had part to do with it though. We are getting a lot of rain right now so its nice and cool here a lot of the time, besides when the sun comes out. Then it gets really humid and hot enough to split a rock! Its always hotter the day after a rain storm. But i am hoping that this week will go better. That family of Tó and Paula are still really cool and we have set a date for them to be baptized and they all seemed really excited. I will let you guys know how everyone does this week. I guess its good to have all of these challanges... im learning a lot and my testimony is getting a lot stronger. I guess it will help me out for things after the mission and i will be stronger from it.
