Beach Bath

Well, it seems that I am writing for a whole two weeks so this is going to be fun.  First off, we had a great Zone Conference in Nampula...that was a joy to get to. We sat in a Chapa for about 3 hours both ways and I thought that all of my appendages would fall off. At the zone conference, we talked about Christ like attributes and we focused a lot on how we can use Christ like attributes to solve the problems that we face as missionaries. Then we came home, again with the falling appendages.... we got home and we started to work.

Last week we ended the week with 8 baptisms.  From our side we had Pascoal, Henriques, Ancha, Paulo, and Famito. It was a super stressful day as we also had a wedding the same day. The wedding went well.

This week we had another 8 with a lady named Fatima from our side. The work is moving forward at a unprecedented rate. On the 20th we have another 8 people that are preparing to be baptized. They all came to church this Sunday so that was a blessing.

When we got home someone stole our water pump so now we don't have water. I don't smell good and my clothes are dirty. But its okay, stuff happens!

I hope we get to watch conference, it will be complicated because we will have to download it somehow and then find some way to get a TV to the church and play it for everyone, but we will have to see how it goes.

We are preparing all the last documents to help Jessica and Euclides to get married. They have marked the 27th as the wedding date and the baptisms for the 4th of May. The work has kept us busy and the mission just keeps on chugging along. I love the chance to be here in Nacala with Elder Latu. Ill try to send some pictures but I cant make any promises because the computer moves at the speed of a fat turtle that only has three legs. I literally type a couple words and just wait about a minute for the words to appear on the page. But I love Nacala:) Good stuff I'll talk to y'all next week!

  A random drunk guy tried to interrupt the baptism because he wanted to get baptized too. Fortunately, Manuel and Euclides were there to pull him away.
