This week, Mario was SUPPOSED to get baptized... but convieniently the day he was supposed to be interviewed, he was accused of stealing a computer from his neighbor's house! So he spent the day in jail for something he didn't do. Mario wouldn't hurt a fly. He's honestly super amazing. Darn Satan. Then he had to go to the Police Station on Sunday to make a statement, but no one was there. Fubekas! Bishop had called later that night to check up on Mario and we told him how distraught we were... he was like, "I'm so sorry.. I one of my investigators was stabbed and killed in my first area. I know it's rough." ..Bishop wins.
Anyways, Saturday he wasn't feeling that great bc he was all hyped up for his baptism and now he was just spending the day doing nothing. Previously, I had passed some church movies from my thumb drive to his friend Ailton's computer. Well, Ailton knew he'd be doing nothing so he left his computer with him. Mario watched the Land of Light film, the Legacy and Joseph Smith Prophet of the Restoration. When we met with him yesterday he was telling us all of these things and then he stopped and was like, "When I was watching the film about Joseph Smith, when the kid was praying in the forest... I felt something.. *he touched his hand to his chest* ..and it made me want to cry." We had HUGE smiles on our faces. We were just like, "That is the Spirit!!!" :D Oh.. It was so happy!
This Saturday, the church (in all of the islands it seems) cleaned up the dirtier beaches in CV. We cleaned up Gamboa(sp?). It was a lot of fun, but my thighs are super sore from bending over all morning. haha.
Um. In case anyone was wondering this weekend was transfers. and Yep. I got transferred. To a different area of Praia. We all knew that 10 or 11 new sisters would be coming in and that we were short one sister to be able to train them all. When elders would ask how we knew we would be training this transfer, we simply responded that we did the math and that, in fact, one unlucky sister would have to train 2... Speaking currently is the unlucky sister. hahahaha. President started out the phone call by saying "Sister Buhler.. I miss you!" I miss you too! "Sister Buhler, the Lord loves you and trusts you." Oh yeah president? Why do you say that? "Because he is trusts you with a big responsibility. You will be recieving Sister Biggs from the MTC, and you will be with Sister Pina. You will finish Sister Pina's training and train her how to finish training Sister Biggs." ... So yes. I'm not sure how I'm supposed to train the 1st 6 weeks, the 2nd 6 weeks, and train how to train.... but I have a meeting with other trainers tomorrow about it. And I recieved the call this morning that I am now, in fact, the new Sister Leader for Praia.
Sister Yerman is going to stay in our area and reap a bazillion baptisms with her new greenie Sister Sharp that will get here tomorrow. Exciting right?
We have an investigator that works doing tickets at the airport for the church. She is amazing. She also told us this week that she didn't make any tickets for us so we knew we would be staying on the island. :) She also made us pizza and juice!
Our RC Eliane went and taught with the Elders this week. They called us up after and were like, "We just went and taught with Eliane and we wanted to say that ya done good. She participated, she explained things, she bore her testimony that the church would bring them lots of happiness, and she even offered to say the closing prayer and left a blessing on the house. ... And she was dressed modestly." Hahahaha. Oh heavens! We're so proud. :)
Our Bishop's family is out of town this week. We made him Cachupa and brought him some leftover cobbler we had. Poor thing just runs around with no time to made food. He was really grateful. He says we are wonderful. hahaha.
Lots of love,
Sister Buhler
