First week as Senior Companion...

So, this has been my first week with my new companion and it's been great!! We are doing crazy work here!! We also had 3 more baptisms this week, and they are all super strong. One of our new members Sunday helped us teach a lesson, and he pretty much taught the whole thing and did an amazing job! 

We also walked through our new church and its almost done! It will be way nice to finally have the space that we have needed for about 5 weeks! We also have really started the work here in Povoação! We have some sweet investigators!! And this week we have our party for Christmas in São Vicente, so that will be really fun!! :) 

So in my study lately I have been reading a ton about Christ! It blows my mind! I think everyone should study about him because you look at yourself and how you can be better, and there has never been a better example than Christ. Never. 

Also this week, the Lord taught me a lesson. We got to church and a lot was happening. The cars that bring all of our members were late, and I got yelled at by the Relief Society (women's organization) president to fix everything, and our branch president is way new, and there was a lot to keep track of!! So I got super stressed!! I went in an empty room (because someone hadn't prepared a lesson so they all joined up, and I got yelled at for that! I LOVE being senior companion so far!! :)) I was freaking out and didn't know what to do, but then after church we had a meeting with the leaders and they worked out all the problems and I felt so relieved! There is still a ton of work to be done but I learned even in a time when it's crazy and you feel like all hope is lost, the Lord is in control! Always! If we are trying to do everything we can, He will take care of the stuff that we simple can not do!!!! 
What a week!

Family! How are you? Glad to hear all is well in Naylor World, and I am happy to report that I have received the Conference Ensign (church magazine) from you guys! The packages I hope to get this Thursday! :) (I think this means he knows they are in Africa, but he doesn't have them in hand yet.) I love you guys! Can't wait for the Christmas call. I will give you the details that Monday before alright? :) Love you!

I will work on sending more pictures. These computers are so iffy every week! Today I can't even open my computer... yay Africa!!! :)
tchau!
