Ola Everyone,
how is everything going back
home?? bet you all are loving the nice Cold weather!!! This week was
pretty good went by pretty fast as always! it just keeps getting hotter
and hotter it is so crazy!! Constantly im sweating like a beast!! it
doesnt feel to great but sooner or later im sure ill get over it maybe!
but this week was good we had 8 investigators come to church so thats
good the week before only like 2 were there! But this week we dealed
with a guy named Kafica he is a really smart guy. He has problems with
drinking. So one day we went over to his house and he was drunk and he
was getting in a fight with another man. My companion luckly stopped it
from going on and we gave him a big talk. Elder Kelsey has been working
on him for a while but he keeps going back to his old ways. But this
week after all this happened i think he finally noticed what is going on
in his life. He finally stopped drinking and went to church, so
hopefully he will keep doing that and will stay strong and wont fall
back in his old ways. Palavra de Sabordoria is a big problem here
because beer is cheaper than water so pretty much everyone drink. It is
definatly difficult here i feel like my language has worsten. Just
casue people talk and im like WHAT??? and i feel kind of retarded
sometimes cause they just start talking and i dont know what to say
back. But everyone says after your first couple transfers i will beable
to understand way more and talk better. Right now i try to teach as
much doctrine as possble but i mostly stick to the simple things like
testifiying and explaining things sense im not grand at Portugues. It is
going fine! the members treat us pretty good here we got fed a couple
times this week, always rice and chicken but it taste amazing
honestly!!! it kind of reminds me of Dads Wakefields chicken, because
they charcoal cook everything here so it has a similar taste. definalty
not as good as his but it works. I ate i think its called flunge first
time this week. it is defiantly interesting. its like doesnt really
taste like anything and has a really chewing tecture its interesnting
but you just put sause on it and it taste fine! We go to this old ladies
house a couple times a week she is a member but not active her name is
adalina. She is super nice everytime we go by she gives us soda called
Blue and some cookies called maná. the cookies are so dang good they
will make you have a better day ha!! and one last crazy thing one of our
progressing investigators got put in a mental hospital that was pretty
sad he was doing great and wanted to talk to us everyday i dont know
what happened but ya. but other than that nothing to crazy has happened
this week just trying to stay positive. This week we have Zone
Conference and sometime this week President Kretly and President Cook
are coming to Angola so that will be cool to meet preidente kretly for
the first time. Well i hope all is going well for you back at home and
everyone is heathly and standing the cold. I hope the lil kids are
staying good and arent being to crazy! im glad everyhing with bres
wedding is going great and things are getting planned hope it all works
out! its awesome to hear that everyone is getting readdy to head out on
their missions like Tay and courtney i wish them luck they are going to
be great missionaries! Well until next time i love you all and hang in
there!
LOVE, Elder Banta
