It is good to tell you that Erineu will be baptized this next weekend, the 21st, we had a scare this last week because before, because he is Muslim. Luckily, his parents won't kill him, so he can still be baptized. That will be a fun story to tell about him. We found him in the road, and he told us that he was simply curious, so he checked it out and he will be baptized literally 3 weeks after we found him. We teach him every night and he just loves the spirit. His family refused to come to the baptism, but they won't kill him, which is good.
We also had the oportunity to go to a cabo verdians party this week. We went sang happy birthday to the people, made friends, and then got out when they broke out the alcohol. Everyone was super nice there.
Truly the hardest thing that we are dealing with is unhappiness in the zone. A lot of people are simply sad that they are not having sucess, it is hard to see, I have been blessed to see several fruits of my labors.. We asked president Torgan about it and he said 2 things. 1, he quoted president Walton and said, If they are not having fun, they are obviously doing something wrong, and secondly he said that there are only 2 problems in their area, Them, and their companion. I thought it was sort of harsh, but then as I realized that he meant that the companionships aren't working together, and when they lose Christ in their companionship, they are sad, it just happens that way.
The truth is that Elder Ellsworth works differently than all of my other companions, but I like it better. He is not afraid to be bold. He wants his last 2 transfers to be his best 2 transfers.
Until next week,
Elder Hope.
