Heyyyy kual é?!?!?
It's been a couple of crazyyy weeks needless to say!!! I literally love the mission life and all the craziness added in. So I'll start from the beginning of the end. So as you all know we were helping a ton with the temple in Praia but it finally came to an end. The video is still engrained in my memory but we are not physically watching it anymore. Hahaha ELDER ANDERSEN came to Cabo Verde and had an amazing devotional with ALL the missionaries here. Yeah, I know, crazy!!! We had a crazy week of flights and hosting in the hotel since we finally hit the max capacity of 10! All of us sleeping on the floor together side by side on our mattresses. Adorable, I know. Then we got to watch the dedication of the temple here both in the chapel next door, and then we snuck back to watch another session and they let us into the temple!! It was INCREDIBLE! the spirit and power an apostle of the Lord brought was touching. But the thing that touched me most was the love and awareness the church has for everyone everywhere. The church is still pretty young here but they have a temple now and an apostle himself came to dedicate and show his immense love for everyone of the church's members. He talked to us missionaries about how we can engrain spiritual experiences into our memories to remember the impact of the Spirit. Then in the future when life gets hard and our faith gets tested, we can remember the Lord and all that he has done for us. I personally have a horrible memory so I have started to try to write down everytime I feel the Spirit super strongly to help me remember each time the Lord has manifested His love for me personally.
Then the miracle of the temple was that Elder Andersen blessed the land of Cabo Verde in the dedicatory prayer during the last session. And when we walked out of the temple, IT WAS RAINING?!?!?!? Amazing, coolest moment ever. Never gonna forget it.
And then after that we traveled by a boat for 14 hours back to FOGO!!!! YEP!! I'm back in Fogo woohooo!!! My new area is at the other end of Fogo called Mosteiros, more specifically Queimada Guincho. And I'm serving with Sister Berhan!!!! Its gonna be amazing and I'm so hyped!!! But like you guessed we are white washing again hahahha
And with my title, this area hasn't had sisteres in more than like 3 years so we feel a little famous here. Everyone calling our names and saying how they miss sisters hahaha but one day we were walking on the street and a hiace stopped and some dude put his head out the window and yelled, "Elder, you are beautiful" and i about died. Ive missed the accent here in Fogo so much and the English they know is even better.
Anyways, love you all and thanks for reading my novel!!! :) hope you all have a fantastic week!!
