WEEK: 59
***transfers OLD COMPANION: Sister Roozenberg NEW COMPANION: Sister Williams AREA: Chã d'Marinha, Mindelo, São Vicente Wow this week was soo special!! But first... We also spent a ton of the week getting things for the new house here in Chã d'Marinha :)) We went with our friend James from the city and basically just went on the shopping spree of the century. We bought a fridge, washing machine, oven, microwave, etc!! It was INSANE and super stressful, but also fun. Then we had to go back and get all the stuff to bring to the new house BUT they wouldn't let me have some of it because I wasn't an "official representative of the church." And I was like do you think I wear this tag just for fun?!! Jk but like seriously come on.. Anywayyyy we filled up the new house with everything PINK because we thought elders were moving in hehe but turns out it's sisters soo yeah! Diogo got baptized on Saturday and it was so precious. All of the youth sang a special musical number and wow it was awesome! And all of the other people we're teaching with dates marked were there too YAYAYYA !! and Sunday church was SOO FULL! Like they had to re-bless the sacrament because we had so many people. Wow it was just amazing!! We also got TRANSFER NEWS!! Sister Roozenburg is headed to Praia and I'm TRAINING AGAINNNN WAAHOOOO! Her name is Sister Williams, I think, and she's an American straight out of the MTC soo lots of adventures in store :)) Okay love you all, have an amazing week, and go to the temple! I used to think an hour was far away until I realized that some people have to take a >10 hr plane ride to another continent to go! LIKE WHAT?!! Okayyy yay! Jesus loves you <3 WEEK: 58
COMPANION: Sister Roozenberg AREA: Chã d'Marinha, Mindelo, São Vicente This week was... INSANE ! haha actually it was pretty normal, but like still cool. We watched the Saratov Approach as a district on p-day and it was so good! Tuesday sister Roozenburg stubbed her toe, and it started bleeding pretty bad! So I got to play doctor and I think I did pretty good. We talked to A TON of people and we're getting Diogo ready for his baptism on Saturday! #endthebaptismdrought #14months... Saturday we went to the other elders/sisters area in our district and we did some whiteboard finding! We wrote a question on the board and had people vote! We talked to so many cool people and wow it was just awesome! Sunday I was so tired because Saturdays we wake up early to go play basketball with the elders, but waiting outside at church and seeing all your bestest friends arrive is just the best feeling in the whole wide world! This week I've been studying a lot about the priesthood lately and it's been amazing! It's so cool that Christ gives us the power to act in His name because He isn't here. So we've gotta use the priesthood to do what He would do!! Anywayyy I think that's all I have for you guys. BUT! I have an invite! If you have friends that aren't members... BRING THEM TO CHURCH !! Trust me they will thank you later :) Okay love you all and have an AMAZING WEEK! and don't forget to SMILE! -- WEEK: 57
COMPANION: Sister Roozenberg AREA: Chã d'Marinha, Mindelo, São Vicente Hellooooo AMERICA + OTHER COUNTRIES!! This week was.... absolutely amazing! Probably one of the most spirit filled ones of my whole mission. It started off with THE FUNNIEST game of street basketball anyone ever did see. Let's just say that everyone here should just stick to soccer lol. We had a lot of lessons, and even more lessons fall through, but GOD IS GOOD! We had to have district council in our neighbor's house because the other companionship of sisters was sick and it was just us and the elders. It was... interesting to say the least haha. We invited 2 of our friends to be baptized, AND THEY SAID YES !! We also taught the youth Sunday school class without preparing anything before haha oops! But I think it went fine. And we did a chapel tour with some dude from Facebook and WOW did I feel the spirit. I love Jesus Christ, and I love all of you! Have an AMAZING WEEK andddd don't forget to smile. There's always good to see even when literally everything is going wrong. Até logo!! WEEK: 56
COMPANION: Sister Roozenberg AREA: Chã d'Marinha, Mindelo, São Vicente Hey friends!! Another week that was pretty good! We went to the beach on p-day and played soccer with the other district. It was SUPER WINDY, but the water was SUPER PRETTY! The member below us corn rowed my hair lol. When in Africa :)) Tuesday was our surprise zone conference!! It was very a lot shorter than normal, but still super good. And the food was actually really good this time!! We started our English class this week and WOW. If Fogo, everyone was just chillin having a good time, but in São Vicente these people want to LEARN. So I guess I've gotta step up my game lol. We found a ton of new people to teach, watched a baptism, it rained for .3 seconds. Our cockroach problem turned into a dead cockroaches all over the place problem, but I guess it's a better problem to have than the first one. And I already said it, but IT IS SOO WINDYYY!! Like wow. Whenever I'm inside, I feel like the big bad wolf is trying to blow my house down. And the second I step out side, my hair is DONE FOR! Soo I think that's about it for this week! I officially hit 13 months yesterday sooo yeah! See you all in a quick 5 :) WEEK: 55
COMPANION: Sister Roozenberg AREA: Chã d'Marinha, Mindelo, São Vicente Honestly this week was pretty normal! We taught a lot of lessons and talked to A TON of people on the street. I did a hype tour for Facebook, but it wasn't much of a tour because there's only 1/2 a zone on this island lol. The office elders came to our island and fixed up our bathroom so that was wild. But we have the WORST COCKROACH PROBLEM! They're everywhere. Like I'll just be chillin and I look um and their ON THE CEILING! AAAHHHHH AND THEY'RE IN MY CLOTHES it's terrible! I guess the assistente decided that they want to surprise EVERYONE with EVERYTHING this transfer because we had our zone conference interviews over zoom with about 6 hours notice and apparently zone conference is tomorrow! When you're not on Santiago, you really have no idea what's going on. EVER. We decided that if we wanna find people, we've got WORK, so we've decided to climb every mountain in our area. CLIMBING MOUNTAINS BRINGS MIRACLES !! All the phones in the country broke for a day and a half so that was interesting. But Sunday we went with some dudes from the elders quorum to give our less active a blessing and WOW. I am SO GRATEFUL for the priesthood. LIFE CHANGER !! Okay love you all have an awesome WEEK !! |
