So this week, I don't have anything to exciting to report. Aside from that I'm getting transferred.. From São Filipe 1 to São Filipe 2, working with Sister Serdar. We are apparently going to be Sister Leaders... for the São Filipe Area. So basically just our house. I'm not exactly sure what being a Sister Leader entails, but it appears as if we'll probably just do divisions.. once. Haha. I'm also excited because I get to stay in the same house with Sister Robinson! Hooray! Minha Filha! :) And this means I get to pass the holidays (& and my birthday) in a house with people that I love! :)
I'm sad that I've been transferred, but happy that I'll be close enough to watch all of my investigators get baptized this next transfer! And hopefully a wedding! Hopefully.
Fatinha is doing so well with her reading and writing assignments! We gave Lo a For the Strength of Youth, and he had already read half of it by the next day! When he said the closing prayer, he prayed for his girlfriend to become a member of the church too! :) I love their family.
We've been teaching a man named Adao from Ginnea Bissau. When he prays the spirit is SO STRONG! He usually starts out, "Heavenly Father.. There are three of us here..." Hahaha. I love him! He's so awesome! He is doing really good at reading the Book of Mormon too. He has a really strong desire to follow Christ. You'd love him. :)
But on the other hand, we tried to teach our 30 yr old investigator, Kevem, about the Law of Chastity this week... He laughed at us. That was an interesting lesson.
I plan on growing and learning alot during this transfer. Branch 2 is super small. In numbers, and in the size of the area. We have alot of members in our area, but a BUNCH are inactive. There is an zone in Branch 2 that is called Beltches. Yes, Beltches. And when I used to work in it before, Sister Gomes would refer to it as Babylon or Sodom&Gomorrah. Filled with drunks, drugs and prostitution. Seriously. It is super sad. But there are alot of other areas we'll probably work in more.
I've included pictures of: my with my posterity, Sister Robinson fixing Eunice (our faithful resurrected fan), & a whole bunch of beans (black eyed peas, actually)(The woman sitting on the wall tried to marry one of us off to her son a few weeks ago.. She greets us by saying "Hey Baby!").
o
Well,.. Feliz Dezembro tudo mundo! :)
Love,
Sister Buhler
