probably cuz there was about 20 people getting baptized..
we had to fill up the baptismal font from a well outside the chapel because the pump is broken! so we filled it up bucket by bucket for about an hour and a half or so.. hahah good experience?
also we were able to get a new family to church! (the husband was a little tipsy, but we're working on that) the wife is actually already a member, and they are working toward getting married and for him baptized, at the end of the month!! should be fun!
as for the rest of the week , everything went well! we werent able to email yesterday because of a holiday about work.. so no one worked.. ironic huh? thats how things work here in mozambique.. not too much makes sence! but its alright i guess! hahah
other than that not too much happened.. we did hitch hike last night and caught two different rides, both of which were drunk. we only found out after the car was already moving, so i think its okay. and one of them stopped to buy us cokes at a bar! nice guy.. i said he probably shouldnt be drinking and driving and he answered with "dont worry, with 21 years of driving ive never been in an accident like this!... well.. at least ive never killed anyone like this.."
so those words were almost just as comforting as the words in matthew 6:19-21.
talking about where our treasure is, is also where our hearts will be. and reading a talk in the liahona, talking about men and women and what we are measured by.. he said we are measured by what we value. so if we value the cheap, vulgar crap this world can offer.. well. what do you think your value is?? just as it is like that, if you value the things of God, the things that will matter in the future, for your families, for your loved ones, and for you personally spiritually. that is your value also.
so, love you guys and make sure you set some prorities and know what you value in your lives!
Cant wait to skype my family this saturday!!
