What a week! I cannot believe it´s already pday again! There were definitely highs and lows during this week, just like any other time on the mission (and life in general who am i kidding..) but Sis T and I spent the first couple of days this week cleaning out our house. and boy was it GREAT... sweet Sis T took the responsibility of cleaning out the bathroom and all I have to say is bless her heart. It´s gonna take a lot of trust and pre-cleaning checks before I can marry one of these men...guys...boys...ugh haha. ANYWAYSSS....the missionary work side of things is going alright. Sis T and I made some awesome plans during our weekly planning sesh, and we have a lot of high hopes for this area and these people. It´s a lil overwhelming with how big our area is right now, and how many people need our help, but I know that the Lord is with us and guiding our every step. It´s been incredible to see the help of the members improve though, and see less active members come back to church again. This week we were able to have 4 resgates (rescues) and you can truly see such a difference in them. One of our rescues, Djay, is this young 19 year old boy who has dread locks with bleached tips. He´s been less active for about the past 2 months now, but just recently he has started coming back to church. Our bishop gave him the calling of ward greeter (shoutout to Sis Dutkiewicz and my mtc group. best calling EVER) and he takes it so very seriously. It´s adorable. He shows up 45 minutes early every sunday and greets everyone with a huge smile and firm handshake. Last week he was unable to come and when we passed by he said, `sisters im so sorry i wasnt able to come to church. It has made me so sad this week thinking about all those people who walked through the church doors without being greeted.´ I love these people so so much.
Other than that, not much else is going on right now. We now have a clean house, I am finally giardia freeeee, and we will be having a baptism this next weekend of an 11 year old girl named Jacky! Her mom and older sister are already members, but for some reason she never got baptized when she was 8. So the elders taught her and then handed her off once they left. She is so cute and awesome. Im so excited for her to be baptized and she is too. Pictures to come next week ((:
Also, it´s currently rainy season which means humidity is at an all time HIGH... and holy its so awful. Every night we sweat BUCKETS. Sis T and I have resorted to sleeping with frozen water bottles on our stomachs. Cabo verde man!!! Wellll i love you all so very much and am so very grateful for the love and support. I miss my family more than anything, but I also never want to leave this place sooo..? Just keep choosing the right and taking full advantage of your air conditioning. Love you SO MUCH XOXOXOXO
Sis. Jorgensen
