I was preggers and I didn't even know it!! September 10, 2012

I'm going to be a MOM!!!! I will be recieving Sister Robinson from the United States later this week!! I'm really excited. :) She's from Brigham City, Utah. I'm really excited. But I feel slightly bad since most of our investigators speak creole... :/ oops. On the brighter side... I speak creole. haha.

Well, to start off it has rained EVERYDAY. No I'm not kidding. I attached a picture of people who were running in the streets with soap in their hair and on their bodies... Genius idea right? Way to save on the water bill! hahaha. But for some reason, even though there was a TON of rain outside, we didn't have water for most of the week in our house... or electricity. Weird, but we have both now. :)


We had the baptism of Deisa this weekend. I love her. She's so full of life and is always laughing. She's the reason why her inactive brother is coming back to church. And why ONE DAY her parents will come back to church and be sealed in the temple. I've got a really positive outlook on her. :) She's adorable!

Also, this has been a really great week of work. Seriously. I LOVE our investigators, so I'm really glad I'm not leaving Sao Filipe. Especially, Isabel. She's from Sao Tome. MAN. She is so happy all the time and her baby is SO STINKING CUTE. Seriously. And she had a boyfriend, but they were getting in a lot of fights and he was treating her bad.. I got really sad for her, but then I realized she can get baptized now!! WOOOO!! I really love her. I'm glad I'm not leaving. :)

ALSO, we just got elders put back in Sao Filipe! So now we are sharing our branch with a companionship of Elders! Which is GREAT, because our area had a LOT of people prepared and we don't have enough time for them all! I looked at the numbers from last month, our area had 10 baptisms and the next leading area in fogo had 5. I'm telling you, it'll be a huge help.
I also attached a picture of me with my recent convert from branch 2. Hahaha. Pierre. After his baptism, he cut his hair. Now, not only is he going to church looking sharp every Sunday, but the sisters are teaching his friend that has HUGE dreds. Hahaha. Pierre told his friend that he can get baptized with the dreds, but 2 days after, they're taking him to get a haircut. HAHAHA. Oh man. We never even told him cutting his hair was needed! So funny.

Oh and I just LOOK fat next to the Droga e lixo sign.
ALSO! Sister Vanderhorst has gotten transferred to FOGO!!! She's on the other half of the island though... in Mosteiros. :/ but i saw her for a little bit today! I was one happy camper. :)

Anyways, I should get my daughter Wednesday or Thursday. I'll let you know ALL about her!
Until later gators!
Sister Buhler
