So basically it's gonna be a party here in São Filipe. This week was AWESOMEEE!! First off, we found a new person for the first time in a very long time. She taught us a little Spanish, but I think it was wrong lol. Friday we went on a field trip with the daycare we volunteer at to idk where haha. Somewhere in the interior of the island lol. But there was a dope spring and a CAVE and yeah it was super dope. Saturday we had a party at a member's house! We had grilled chicken and they used plastic bags as fire fuel lolll. We ended up eating rice, hotdogs, and chicken all together. Yummm. ALSOOO!!!!! The less active that we've been teaching went to church for the first time in 6 YEARS WAHOOOO!!!! I literally couldn't stop smiling. Flávio is precious. And Sunday we picked up the new comps! It's kinda weird being a parent, but also kinda fun. We waited in the airport for 6 hours to get them, and almost died of hunger. But then some dude was like "ya know there's a restaurant right there" bahaha! We sprinted soo fast. After that we realized that Garce's had the keys to our church. In his suitcase. On the airplane. Headed to Praia :) soo this week will be kinda interesting haha. Anyway love you alll!!

WEEK: 29
AREA: São Filipe, Fogo COMPANION: Sister Monteiro YAYYYY ANOTHER WEEKKKK!!! It wasn't quite as good as last week, but it was still pretty chill. First off: RAIN! Like actually haha. I thought it would be a nice break from the heat, but honestly I thinks it's hotter now lol We're making a welcome video for the new missionaries about the tips and tricks of our mission so that's been kinda fun. I hope it turns out good. The students in our English class are dwindling soo we're gonna have to do something about that. But we did A TON of brainstorming this week to help find people and I'd say we've got some pretty pretty ideas. BUT ALSO! We were at a member's house and she offered us cow milk. It was so horrible I can't even describe it. It was like it came straight out of the utter, sour chunks and all. I think I'm traumatized because just the thought of milk now makes me sick. Saturday we had afternoon tea with the relief society. It was pretty fun and the elders came too lol. We had it on the roof of a members house and the view was soo pretty!! I don't think I'll ever get sick of watching the ocean. Other than that, I'm just chillin. We were supposed to have transfers this week but the greenies won't get here till the 27th soo we'll see what happens. I love you all !!! Hope you have an awesome week! And don't forget... Happiness is a choice :) even if we're going through the hardest trial in the world, all we have to do is DECIDE to be happy and SMILE ! OWEEK: 28
AREA: São Filipe, Fogo COMPANION: Sister Monteiro Yoyoyoooo this week was AWESOMEEEE!!!!! Okay first off for pday we went and ate lunch with the district and it was pretty fun. Pizza is always good. But it's better by the ocean. Monteiro got vaccinated so we had to wait 3 hours in an abandoned elementary school. Kinda spooks haha but all went well, except that night we were chillin with the elders and a cockroach CLIMED OVER MY FOOT! it was horrible. We went out to lunch Wednesday with most of the zone for Sister Lope's birthday, and to celebrate one year for a bunch of missionaries too. It was super fun and there was a wedding at the restaurant too! Thursday we went to the beach ALL DAY with the zone and president and the assistants and played games. We played football, soccer, and spike ball! It was LITERALLY THE BESTTTT! Except literally everyone got burned so that was unfortunate haha but TOTALLY WORTH IT! Friday we had.... ZONE CONFERENCE !!! It was the best as usual haha. We had our meeting and then went out to lunch. It's always the best talking to sister Wunderli! Saturday we had exchanges so I headed to Congresso for a day with Sister Dana. It was AWESOMEEE!! We ran in the morning and then went and got fresh bread for the bakery for breakfast. And we made chocolate chip cookies. Literally the best day. And Sunday! We ate 2 huge meals with a member and went to church. We have like 2 peeps with the priesthood in our ward, so the elders passed the sacrament for us. They're precious. Anywayyy I think that's all for this week! Kinda wild but wild is GOOOD! I love you all ! I hope you're doing awesome ! Feel free to email me some meal ideas causeeee "massa daqui" just isn't cutting it anymore lol. TENHA UMA BOA SEMANA :)) WEEK: 26
