OLA MINHA FAMILIA!!!!!!!!!!!
This week was pretty
good. it was kind a hard after having the two baptisms and then our next two
baptisms fell because one of our investigators found out his girlfriend is
three months pregnant and on Wednesday she got an abortion, something very
common in Angola, and the other investigator found out her fiancé
has a wife..... so lots of bad situations this week, but it’s ok!!! I’m
not losing faith. me and Elder Dunkley had a pretty slow week, but were gonna
change the way we work our two areas and make sure we get the maximum work in
this next week. We’re really excited.
but ya it was a pretty normal week, it’s starting to cool
off just a little tiny bit, so that’s nice. after about 80 at night
it’s ok outside and bearable. I sweat so much that I don’t even realize it
anymore. Only on my face, but we pretty much walk around soaking wet all day it’s
fun stuff. really humid~which I’m not used too. The dry getting off the plane
in AZ here in about a year the dry is gonna be like a nice little welcome
home. I love dry haha I hate humidity.
Everything is going good here in Luanda, we’re just trying
to rebuild the area after the work Clifford and I did, then you sift through
and get some baptisms, and then start over! That’s the missionary life-.
I’m good here in Cassequel. Just working hard and trying to
follow the spirit, which is the hardest thing to do for sure, especially when
your training and have to make a lot of major decisions yourself, but its good,
and I’m loving it!!!
ok now for answering questions!!
Things with Elder Dunkley are awesome, I think I learn more
from him each day than he does from me so that’s fun. It’s harder than I
thought it would be being a trainer, mostly because I’m not a natural teacher, I
do better just getting in the driving seat and showing someone and explain,
then let them try, instead of teaching, so I’m struggling with that but me and
Elder Dunkley get along great. I tease him a lot about his Texas pride that
pride is the fall of all things and stuff like that, but its good we have a
good time.
We haven’t had any more flooding, just a few small rains.
Yes I met the Freeman’s once at church two weeks ago. They
are really cool. I already knew Brother Freeman but I just barely met Sister Freeman,
and I thanked her a ton for the package.
The other family is the Weggeland’s and they live in the
same building as the Freeman’s. They are from Utah and Texas and Alaska (oil
engineer for BP) and we eat dinner at their house every Sunday night. It’s a
nice treat to start p-day.
please send ...
dad, we haven’t had a ton of fun stuff to do,
mostly because we like to relax on p-day if we don’t go to play soccer, because
with Angolan traffic, that would put New York traffic to shame, we waste like
half the day going any where, but today we tried to go to a war museum, but it
was closed haah so we just walked around the Luanda equivalent of the boardwalk
in Newport and took pics that was pretty fun.
haah the food is always expensive, but we have been finding
new supermarkets lately with good stuff from the US, like today elder Clifford
and Dunkley, they bought gatorade today, a case of 15 for 40 bucks!!! ahaha if
that puts stuff in perspective.
Dad you’d actually be really proud, I’ve lost like 20 pounds
in Luanda so far, and I am in better shape than I was the end of my senior year
when I had my beach body and all that. that’s how much we sweat here in Luanda
haah
I’ll be sure to figure out what is the deal with mother’s
day I haven’t heard anything yet but ill let you all know next week for
sure.
Anyway I’ll wrap this up. I love you all have good weeks!! Kaleb
happy birthday! and Rex happy bday too!!! Love you all and cant wait to hear
how the week went!! Have a good one lots of love and prayers all the way from Angola!!!
com amor,
Elder Colin Jay Montgomery
