Oiiiiii gente!! This week was amazing, full of learning experiences and blessings. Literally could not do anything without the help of the Lord so everyday is full of blessings to be honest. :) But luckily God loves us and is willing to help. Sometimes I think about us, two americans who dont know the language walking around trying to talk to people about Christ. Its definitely an amazing calling.
Anyways, this week we were able to get everywhere on time with our Yaci rides so we didnt have to wait in the street for 2 hours for a car to pass, or hike up Monte Grande to visit people there. BLESSINGS! our creole class is really kicking in.. our lesson on telephone calls turned out successful! But our yaci to Monte Grande is earlier than needed so this time we packed a sack lunch and ate it on halfway through our walk to Monte Largo. kkkk yeah, we stopped on the side of the street, through the dead plants to some rocks in the shade and ate our apples there :) quite a scene for anyone that passed. Luckily only one car did and I think we remained unseen kkk but we made it to our lessons and were able to eat lunch so id call it a success.
I literally love the members here. They are the most faithful and humble people. and oftentimes hilarious without knowing it! And during lots of our lessons the member or less active member in the home will give their testimony or help explain some things. One family were teaching, the dad is a less active member with a rock solid amount of faith and is the sweetest dad to his two daughters.The mom is catholic but is willing to hear and talk about religion which is perfect! Anyways, this week we were explaining the plan of salvation and the less active dad mentioned marriage like 15 times, i think without realizing it, when explaining how we can live with our families for eternity in the Celestial kingdom. kkkk so not sure whats gonna happen next but theyre amazing :) literally the cutest family
Another fun fact, we left our last lesson a little bit late from Monte Grande and had to run down the mountain in the dark again, racing the call from the elders to check if we made it back home safely before the hour. haha but we did and all is well!
So for my title, the Caboverdianos like to use the english words they know with a horrible english accent with their portguese and creole. Literally the funniest thing ever to hear and since language is always a big part of our lives here i think its one of the funniest things to hear now that i can understand the words. Literally laughed at our trilingual sentences for about 30 minutes during our walking in Monte Largo and Monte Grande. My title is one of my favorites.. with spanish, english, portuguese, and of course creole. :) and so true... its hard to speak correctly so its easier to just say it like it is.
Anyways, LOVE you all to the sun and back and love updates on your lives too! sorry mine are always a scatter of thoughts and stories... writing never was one of my strong points haha but i do it out of love! ♡ I love this gospel and am so grateful for this calling to help and serve. Let me know if there is anything I can do for you or if you have any questions about anything under the sun! send em my way ;) Hope you all have a fantastic week!
