Man thats crazy about all the news that is going on, its crazy to think that fall is actually here! It was nice to get all that football news though and im glad to hear that byu got a win to start out the year. Im looking forward to getting more of these updates and im excited to hear about all the hunting stories too. Sounds like this week was the week of picnics too... i remember going to that park you guys went to everyonce in a while, its pretty nice. I was actually thinking you guys were going to yellowstone this week but i guess that will be the next? Well either way it sounds like everything is going good back at home.
Everything out here is really about the same. We had our first baptism in this area in a while this last saturday and it was actually the best i have ever seen here. It started on time and was well organized which is something that doesnt happen here, ever. Their culture is a little different here and even things of the church never go as planned so it was nice that this all went well. We are going to be having another baptism this week so for the meantime things are going pretty well. It will be Daniella, a 17 year old girl that we teach. At first she didnt seem to interested and she didnt really care to go to church or anything, but this last month she totally switched everything around. She started coming to church every week and completely changed and now she is really excited about her baptism. Cabo Verde had EFY out here like they do back at home, and this was the first one they had ever had. All the youth went down to the island of santiago from all of the different islands and stayed there for a week, and daniella went to it even though she wasnt a member yet. That helped her out even more and got her super excited for the baptism on saturday. We have also been teaching 3 new families, all of which promised to show up in church this sunday ( and if they do it will double our normal attendance) One of the girls of the families at first said she doesnt like anything to do with churches because there are tons of churches here that just say things to get your money and trick people, but once we explained a little bit about our message she kinda changed and that 2nd time we taught her she was telling us she wanted to come to ours. We also had to 20 year old guys that showed up to church yesterday and are doing way good.
I went down to praia for the counsel again this week and this time i had a little extra time to go see people. I got to go see gilmara and her kids and also a few other cool families i knew there, it was way cool! Well i cant really think of anything else that is new. Sorry that this e mail is kinda short but thanks for all the e mails from you guys, i loved reading them. You guys have a good week and ill talk to ya later! Its crazy to think that there are only 10 more months left! Love ya guys
