42- Party for Elder Cruz

Hey loved ones. Sorry i wasnt able to write yesterday. The internet places were all closed for some strange reason so we didnt have access to interwebs or computers. Ill try to give a good email with details this week. 

So this week was conference and we were able to watch parts of it. but not all of it. we saw both the morning sessions and the priesthood session and due to some random stuff we werent able to watch the other sessions but ill probably download them in english or something along with the other sessions because we listen to the talks in portuguese and they use big words. also its brazilian portuguese so its harder for me to understand. It was cool that we got an investigator to go, and he was waiting the whole time for president monson to talk. 

Oh yeah also a couple of you asked about transfers.... thats next week. this sunday so ill tell you next monday.

Well the party was a success, Me and elder toledo made a ton of things with some help from the other elders. We made tacos with beef and onions and homemade flour tortillas. Homemade chili. Horchata. Rice pudding. Tres leches cake. It took quite a long time to cook but it all turned out really well. One of the cape verdians was asking me why the only things i know how to cook are mexican recipes haha. I didnt really realize it til he pointed it out to me. We were also going to make the mexican corn but all the corn on the cob here isnt quite ready yet but it will be here in a little bit. There are sooooooo many corn fields here right now. Im sure ill find some goat cheese here and make a ton of delicious corn. Cheese is a bit tricky though. 

Well as far as other cool things happening here it rained again and wrecked the roads in our group again so we have to do some more walking again. but at least they should have some good crops and no one was injured or anything. 

Well i think thats about it for today. Thanks all i love you!

Love Elder McMullin
