Yooo!!!
What is up everyone?! SO, after a week that went by super-fast,
looking back soooo much happened! I will try my best to write all that went
down and do it all justice.
Last Monday we had a HUGE family night. We had it in
the area of Elder Smith and Elder Beacham. There were a total of 15 people
there and it was pretty fun just having a chill family night after a busy last
Pday. But, after we had shared a spiritual thought and played some games, we
brought out the cake that Elder Smith made and Samuel (whose house is it was)
goes in and just started bumping Men Without Hats hahaha. I was hoping that Safety
Dance would come on but sadly it didn’t haha. I got some pretty good videos of
Elder Beacham hitting the "dap" as the kids call it now a days.
During the week last week we also had a zone
training focused on diligence and how we can be more diligent as missionaries
and members of the church. After the training we met with Elder Heald and Elder
Carvalho (the ZL's) and Elder Nelson and Elder Nielson (yes they are companions)
to plan out this Saturday for the weddings and the baptisms. Elder Heald has
everything on lock and already planned so on Thursday we will be baking all of
the cakes and doing all of the baptismal interviews. Friday we will be setting up the chapel and
all of the rooms for the brides and the grooms. Then on Saturday the weddings
and baptisms will be a go. There will be 5 weddings now and about 30 people
being baptized. Elder Griffeth and I will be baptizing Afonso and Jasinta along
with Angelo and his 3 kids, Angela, Salimo and Marta. Angelo, his wife and kids
have been investigating the church since about September of last year. About 4
weeks ago Belita, Angelo's wife passed away. After all of the services for her
we visited with them and asked if they still wanted to be baptized and they all
said yes! So we planned their baptisms for this Saturday. We were still kind of
worried that they wouldn’t be all prepared but after visiting with them all
week we are so excited for them to be baptized on this special day. We showed
up to church on Sunday and the first people we saw in the whole chapel was
Angelo and his kids there all in one row sitting and waiting.
Also, last week on Thursday night we got a call from
the zone leaders saying that we had to return home early that night and that we
could not leave the house the next day. There were supposed to be protest about
prices going up here but it was all a fluke. So after a big build up not going to be able
to go out and me joking that it was going to be the Mozambican purge we got a
text at about noon saying we could go out and work.
So one more busy week done and another one starting!
I cannot wait for this weekend that will be full of weddings, singing, dancing,
cakes, baptisms, and SKYPING!! So I will be seeing all the fam's faces on
Sunday night (afternoon for you guys)!! Love you all have a great week and see
you on Sunday!
