House hunters, bucket showers, ocean baptisms, parties, and crepes!!

 This week was so fun and awesome and busy and crazy and chances are, it'll be like that the rest of the transfer. Rip to full study days but I am having the time of my life!!!


We got to go to 2 baptisms on Saturday!! Because our area is so small and we don't have a full chapel, they had the baptisms in these little tide pools by the ocean. We all piled into the back of 2 hiluxes (just trucks with benches) and all rode over together. After the baptisms were over we had a big ward activity at the beach which was so fun. I am so blessed to live and serve here. God is so good.

Yesterday it was Sister Cluffs birthday so we planned this biggggg giant FHE (party) for her with all of our friends. I made a cake and almost had a mental breakdown because our oven was made in the 1400s but!! It all turned out thank goodness and everybody loved it. While I was making the cake I was singing Bad Habit and Sister Cluff didn't even know what song it was hahah so that was weird.

We didn't have running water pretty much this whole week except for an hour or so during random days of the week so every time we found out the water was on our adrenaline kicked in and we went crazy cleaning the house doing dishes and laundry and filling up our water barrel. Because of our water issue, we've been looking for a new house! My years of watching HGTV in my moms bedroom have finally paid off. It's kind of hard to do around here because there's no signs in anyone's front yards saying their house is for sale. Probably because there are no front yards. And every house has about 10 different houses within the one house. We had a senior elder help us look for a house so we got to take a nice little tour the other night and then we're looking at another one tonight so let's pray for a house with water! 

WE HAD 11 OF OUR FRIENDS COME TO CHURCH YESTERDAY😭😭😭 Me and Sister Cluff almost shed tears we were so happy. God may not give us water but our area is progressing like craaazzy so I'll take it. I am so in love with Tarrafal everyday feels like I'm on vacation. The longer I'm here, the more fun it gets. I've made so many friends here and I'm finally getting familiar with the area and where people live AH I JUST LOVE IT!!!!!! Missions are so FUN!!

We went out to eat on Saturday and got fresh juice and crepes again (Kaden and Ben you know how happy I was) and the dessert crepes were only 3 DOLLARS. The crepes at the Polynesian cultural center could never. Anyway that had to be the highlight of my week. 

Portuguese is coming along and when we met our Brazilian neighbor the other day he was shocked with how much I knew so that was lit but I was quickly humbled later when I was praying for us to use time wisely but I actually asked God to help us use time with the priesthood. Works for me!

Anyway I just love Cabo Verde and the people here. They are so amazing and everyday I'm just in awe of how beautiful it is. I'm trying to soak it all up before God decides to do a little switch up on me so until then, I'll just keep living it up!!🕺

  Hello everybody yes I am alive yes it feels like I have been gone for 5 years and yes there is a reason they call this spiritual prison Hahaha in reality I've actually been loving the mtc it feels like a high school and college reunion all in one! I've seen basically a million people I know which has been MUITO FIXE! It makes it a little easier to adapt  All of my classes are in full Portuguese and you're not allowed to speak any English while you're in there and it makes my head feel like it's going to explode!! Woooo! It's actually chill though I'm not too stressed about learning the language tbh cause I'm gonna have to restart when I get out to the field😃 Everybody told me the food is super gross but luckily for me I already acclimated (somebody tell me if i used that word wrong) to it during my caf days at byuh so I knew immediately to not eat basically anything and went straight to the cottage cheese and peaches😍😍😍😍 lmaooo it does kind of fee...

  Well everyone I've finally made it. Today is my last day at the mtc LFG!!!! This week was good but I'm ready to get out of here and travel for a nice 24 hours😀 I don't even know what to write about cause I feel like Bill Murray in groundhog day but it's chill It's really cool to see how my Portuguese has progressed since I've been here though. I'm not perfect at all but I can tell that I've made big improvements since the first day so yay!!! My tutoring teacher served in cabo verde so me and my companion asked him to teach us some creole. These are the phrases I know: -Modi ki bu txama? (What is your name) -A mi ki ta mandi li. (I am the boss here) -Tu drete? (You cool?) -Kuzé ki bo fla mós? (What did you just say to me dude?) I think those will be very useful thank you Irmão Jensen👍 This week in class my teacher was trying to tell us what the Portuguese word for rainbow was so she drew a rainbow on the board and then wrote ROYGBIV underneath it. The...

I am Queen Wheat-ling

  Man oh man what a WEEK! I am going to be 100% honest right now when I say that I genuinely love the MTC. Others may beg to differ but everyday is so fun and it probably helps that I've been here for like 2 seconds and I leave in a WEEK! (from tomorrow) Yes that is correct I have received my travel plans and I'll be leaving next Tuesday (the 11th) to Cape Verde!! I feel very blessed that I got my visa and I'm able to go straight there because my whole district got their reassignments today so they won't be going to Portugal for a little while. S/o Cape Verde for being chill like that. You may be wondering, whaaaaatttt she's a queen??? Wheat-ling???? Me and the girl's in my district have finally stopped going to bed at 10:15 because we remembered that we brought cards so now every night (the past 2 nights) we have played very intense games of monkey bridge and the sister that wins is then deemed as the queen the next day. Unfortunately I did not win the fir...
