Cassequel

Hey everyone!

so we had transfers this last week. I am now in Cassequel. Its the heart of the (concrete) jungle. ;) it is in the Heart of the city. It is a beautiful area though. My area includes Mutambo and the ilha, which is the beach. its awesome.

Elder Stewart is my new companion. hes cool. we get a long pretty well, as for right now, its just me and him in our house. We're still waiting for the new Elders to get their visas. so we'll see. We fault energy every once in a while. And we have to conserve our water, back to bucket showers haha. I love it though, it makes me feel more like a missionary. :)

There are a lot more homeless people and Malucos. and they love the missionaries. This morning as we were walking to the taxi stop, this one guy saw us and started walking along side of me, Elder Stewart, Elder Montgomery, and Elder Tingey and marching as he walked with us, yelling ''one, two three four quarto cinco seis'' haha, then we got to the taxi stop, and there was a guy who was yelling out his route for his taxi, and the crazy guy goes up to him and punches him in the back haha. then we get in the taxi, and he starts asking as about our church. So we gave him a pass along card, and drove off. Theres never a dull moment in Angola :)

Things are going great though. I love my new area. Its nice to have a change. My new comp is cool, we get a long. And our district is awesome! plus the other Elders only live one street away from us so that's cool. Were right across from the Airport. so we hear planes all the time.

Every day, I love the Gospel more and more. It really does bless lives. I love thinking of the saying ''Missionaries leave their families for 2 years so that others can be together forever'' that really is our purpose here. to help others come to Christ. Families are eternal. Sou bem grato pelo conhecimento e a alegria que vem com o Evangelho. Eu amo Voces!!

Love,
Elder Money

Translation: I'm very thankful for the knowledge and joy that comes with the gospel. I love you guys!

Elder Money's Address

To send a letter use the following address:

Elder Money
Igreja de Jesus Cristo dos S.U.D.
Caixa Postal 18404
Luanda, Angola
　
If you want to send a package via the US Post Office please follow these instructions exactly:

If the package weighs less than 1 kilo (2.2 lbs.) it should arrive at the Post Office where we have a post office box with no problems.

If the package is over 2.2 lbs it must be sent "EXPRESS" so that it will be delivered to our Post Office. If you send the package ordinary mail or priority post, it will not be delivered to our Post Office and we will be unable to retrieve it.

If you send a package, please DO NOT put the missionary’s name in the address. This will make it very difficult for us to claim the package unless the recipient missionary actually goes to the Post Office. PLEASE NOTE: If you are sending a package, put the missionary’s name at the beginning of the return address. Then we will know who it is for. For example, the package should be addressed as follows:

Elder Money
Smith Family
123 Elm Street
SLC, UT 12345

Igreja de Jesus Cristo dos S.U.D.
Caixa Postal 18404
Luanda, Angola

The customs officers will often insist on us providing receipts to prove the value of the goods being received. It would be a good idea to leave your receipts in the package.
