Wedding, Baptism, Kretly

Hey everyone,

First of all congrats to Ryan and Ash!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! :):):):):) that's sooo awesome!!! I'm stoked for you guys!!!! Cant wait to see her on Skype at Christmas!!! :)

So this week was super busy! H and A got married on Wednesday, the 29th. Weddings here are way different. They go to the conservatory, all dressed up in their suit and wedding gown, and they just sign some papers and then they're married. so that was cool to be able to see.

Thursday we helped paint their house in the morning. and taught 4 lessons. Then on Friday, we had zone conference from 9 in the morning to 17. President Kretly is here in Angola so he was in charge of zone conference. and then we went to a fiesta for Elder and Ana at the church, that started at 19. It was really nice and President Miranda, the district president, gave them a blessing. They had a bunch of food there and we ate sugar cane, mucua, and Caterpillars! haha they were nasty.

On Saturday Elder, Ana, and their son Edi got baptized. And ALL the Elders got sick from the food we had at zone conference. so i was sick at the baptism but not too bad. and then we had church yesterday. and they all got confirmed. They're the first family to get baptized in Angola in 5 months!!! just goes to show how hard it is to get married here. Then we went to a fireside with President Kretly, he talked about the 7 habits of highly effective people. And yeah that's our week!! Were super busy which is good. And things are going great! I love you all and miss you!!

Love,
Elder Money
