First Area - Sal, Cape Verde

Chilling in Boston
Plane to Sal, Cape Verde
     One week down while living in Africa, and guess who has a baptism?!? That's right, this guy!!!!! :) :) I am loving working here. We are having a ton of success, and the people are just great! I think I have kind of gotten over the culture shock now, but who knows what's waiting around the corner for me! :)
Praia, Cape Verde
     There is so much that happens, I don't know what to write! We have had limited water the past couple days, and so that means dirty dishes, and really quick showers, and the rest we put into bottles for the rest of the day so we actually have something to drink! :) It seems our tank refills a little every night, even though our pump is broken!


     The language is as hard as ever, and half the people speak Creole, which is nothing like Portuguese! So for half the lessons, I walk out and have no idea what they said! :) 
     I got a little sick over the weekend, which was expected! I had a fever and the runs, so I got house-grounded for a day! :) But all's good in the hood now, and nothing to worry about! :) 
     Not any huge stories happened this week, so this will probably be short. Sorry. Love you all, and I will have a lot more to write about next week!! :)
