Week 67- Transfer to Tarrafal on same island

Haha!! Picture with Elder Hughes on Easter Sunday.

So this week was good. we were able to teach a lot of people and have another baptism. One interesting thing though was easter was the same day as day of african women and all the women talked about that instead of easter haha.... i made fun of one of the girls for it. But for easter a lot of people invited us over for lunch and a lot of people were having parties and cool things like that.

Well im sure you just want to hear about transfers. I was transfered but still in the same zone on the same island. I am now in tarrafal. My new companions name is Elder Domingos. He is from mozambique and he is on his 4th transfer. i actually have known him since he has been here on the mission.

There was a little mix up when i was coming here and i was waiting on the wrong church of ours for like an hour haha. But i was able to get all my things with us. the only problem is it turns out our house hasnt had power for a whole month. soooo i dont have a fridge. Im not sure much else about my new area but ill tell you a bit more next week!

Love you!

Week 66- Great birthday celebration and a picture!!!

Hey everyone! Well im sure you want to know stuff so ill try to get it all in there. First off thanks for the birthday wishes and letters everyone! Also i got my packages today thanks a ton for the things everyone! Tell the nielsens thanks for me!  The only thing about getting the package is if i leave next week (which i probably will) is trying to make the room to take it with me! 

We had another good week here. A lot of you asked about how my birthday was. Well the other elders woke me with breakfast in bed of pancakes and then we made schwarma for lunch also we made a tres leches cake saturday and also they surprised me with a cake that you can buy here that they bought saturday, for sunday night and lit the candles and sung to me and everything. The elders in my house are some really good guys. A couple members found out about my birthday as well and wished me happy birthday. It was awesome to here that all of you guys honored me with cakes on my birthday as well! hope it was a great time!

Also happy birthday mama and bridger this week! hope you guys have a lot of fun! its crazy how big everyone is getting!

Week 65- Baptism

The baptism was able to go through! We only had to stress and track him down for awhile haha. and then the person that was suppose to baptize him didnt show up so i ended up doing it and walking around in wet clothes the rest of the day haha. but its all good and he seems happy! We are now working with his girlfriend and shes been going to church and activities as well.

Well im a little disappointed my camera has been dead for awhile because of the charger mix up. and i still havent been able to get one but i really want to get one before my birthday. maybe i will be able to find one today. I figure i need it in case anything cool happens on my birthday and ill probably be leaving here in a week after anyways so i REALLY need to get it charged!

Thanks for all of you that sent the updates. still missing a few so i guess i need to single people out now! Dads family! Alyssas family! alex! you are the ones i need info! the rest are doing pretty good with keeping me updated! 

Happy birthday grandma mac saturday! Love you!

Love you all!

Week 64

Wow well it seems like you guys are up to some very interesting things! We had a pretty interesting week here as well. President Mathews came to our sacrament meeting this week. 

Also the guy that we gave a blessing to, is preparing for baptism this upcoming week and we are working with his girlfirend as well.

Well my days as a 20 year old are coming to an end. thats pretty insane! I didnt get my package at the zone meeting so that means ill probably get it next month. but thats probably a good thing because i am probably going to be transfered at the end of this transfer. So i should get the package at my new house and not have to worry about carrying it all around and whatnot. 

I need some good update emails this next week. I feel like i find out big things right after they happen and then i go into a state of shock.... haha not really but kind of! you can inform me of things before they happen so i dont have a heart attack hearing so many crazy new cool things in the same week! Please!

Happy birthday this week Jordyn! hope you have a fun birthday and get to do some fun things!

Love you all!

Week 63-

Well this week in church was a little bit better! people just show up either late or reeeeallly late. it makes me feel bad for being mean to mom about being to sacrament meeting on time... haha sorry mom!

Well this week ive gotten a bit sick. nothing too bad but it just doesnt want to leave. you know my normal cough that always ends up happening and sounds a lot worse than it is? yeah my bark is back haha. Its sad because i was actually getting pretty good at working out very consistantly and that just killed my desire haha... but im going to get back into this week! It doesnt help that its been pretty chilly here. i actually use a sweater now. i dont like the cold. at all. Im so scared to go back to utah haha!

We had an interesting thing happen with an old investigator of some other missionaries that moved to our area and we tried to teach her but she kept going to church in her old area. Then all of the sudden she was like i dont want to talk with you guys. ill travel back to my old area to receive the lessons. it was just like welll okaaaaayyy. haha. Guess she likes the sisters more than us! oh well shes still progressing well and is in the right place.

Well i think thats it for now.... Love you all!
