I would just like to inform everyone of a recent discovery that I stumbled upon yesterday..... so apparently when walking through deep masses of water you need to take care that you don't step on any broken beer bottles because rain boots with holes don't function properly. So that definitely happened.... hahaha then i had to walk all week with boots just cheias de aqua (just full of water). eu queria tentar comprar outras mas nao consegui. (I wanted to try and buy others but I could not.)
The work went by super fast this week. I helped out my district this week with their baptisms ON THE BEACH because we didn't have any water in the chapel.
Also I wanted to say sorry to all the people out there that wrote me and didn't get a reply because currently i am in Maputo... way far from my area doing a training with president. He flew in all of the lideres do distrito para nos ajudar a saber mais a respeito de nosso desempenho. (district leaders to help us learn more about our performance) So sadly i only have about 30 min today to write with everything that we are doing.
But WOW maputo feels like america compared to beira..... it's insane how much different it is here. I cant even explain but the poverty of the north is incredibly sad. Love you all, when I get a chance I will write about everything that went on and send pictures!
