We worked hard this week and lots of great stuff happened including a wonderfully incredible group activity on Saturday where we went to the beach with all the interested people and we played games. I also raced Elvira's son who's 17. I won. Video included. Some sad stuff going on.... lots of the people that we were teaching decided to move. Bummer.
Nacala is beautiful and my companion is a stud. The Nacala squad here is very well mannered and powerful. Like a hippo. It really helps getting everyone excited about the gospel. I have done some different stuff these last days. I taught a music class to a bunch of the new people. That was pretty hard and i realized that music still doesn't make sense but it sounds good so we just leave it be.
The weirdest thing about Nacala is that our area is like a mountain. And i sweat a ton. As I climb the mountain I feel as though I am a dry sponge that magically is still releasing copious amounts of water.
I'm going to sacrifice my writing time to try and upload some photos for y'all. Its really pretty here and the people are preettttyyyy great. I love the life and the mission. Its been a huge growing experience and I've loved the way I've seen myself and others change.
This next week we should be having another baptism. his name is Thomas. He is from Beira and likes to butcher and eat goats. Hes really great and I love the way he has openly accepted the commandments of God. We taught him about the the day of the Lord and we taught him about how we shouldn't work on Sundays. He owns a little shop and when we passed by on Sundays he was always open. But this last Sunday.... CLOSED hahaha I love that guy so much. We are doing good. until next week Y'all!!
