Heyy mom!!! So my new comp is tongan he is from Oakland, CA and he is hilarious!!! I am pretty sure he knows more African dialect than Portuguese hahah but he is actually pretty good at the language! Matola is the hardest area on the mission and also the richest it reminds me a lot of my first area LOTS and LOTS of sand!!! Apparently most of the people here only get like 15 lessons a week and I am used to 30 or more up in Beira so my new goal is to turn my new area like my one in Beira!! We are teaching 2 families and found one more this week!! The first is Felix and Rosita they are a nice family and humble they have a small house!! they have been teaching them a few weeks and this Sunday was her first Sunday at church and she said she liked it so we are excited about that she had a lot of doubts about baptism so we help clarify some things for her.
Our next family is Amerigo and Celia they are really nice and really young they actually don't live together but want to get married!! He is a very funny guy he has a nice house and when we were over there our shoes were really dirty and got his floor dirty so I asked for a broom and he was like not a problem I have a button that I press and the dirt will be blown out and I didn't believe him at first but some how he convinced me that the roof splits open and the dirt gets blown out!!! I felt like an idiot!!! hahah their only problem is the family might want money for them to get married!!! but we will find out tonight!!! and the new family we found their names are Simieon and Elena they have 1 kid, he is 2 years old but they live in a tiny house but are excited to hear the message!! So we will see about them!!QUESTIONS
