Hey, every week flies by for me its crazy, two weeks ago feels like yesterday to me. But ya the baptism went well, couldn't get her under the first time but got it the second time. The water was just above my knees so it was pretty low. We also gave the Priesthood to a lot of people this week which was great as well. I'll get a new companion on Thursday, Elder Nascimento from Brazil. I'm way excited to be serving with him, and he's not in the branch presidency so we will be able to focus more on missionary work now. Also this will improve my language a lot having a native speaker. He doesn't speak any English so it will force me to speak only Portuguese. Ya we hear a lot about Zimbabwe, that's been going on for a long time so we have a lot of people from there who just ran for safety. Also South Africa went on a killing spree not to long ago and killed anyone who wasn't a native (mainly blacks) so they killed a lot of people from Mozambique.

My area is mainly apartments but there are a few houses and huts in my area. Other missionaries have mostly houses or mostly huts, depends on the area. The apartments are usually 3 rooms, bedroom living room/kitchen. All cement floor no carpet, wood or tile usually. No one has a stove or anything so they have these makeshift stove things that they cook outside their apartment in the hall way with coals. All the hallways run along the outside of buildings.

The Branch is good, these last two weeks haven’t been so good we've only had 3 but everyone else is doing good. For the first time we are going to open the over flow next week so it’s growing really well.

So I found out that people here are scared to death of chameleons. They believe that if a chameleon bites you, the wound won’t stop bleeding until you bleed to death. So one day I wasn't in a particularly good mood and a group of about 10 kids started yelling some racist stuff at us. So I walked up to them and put a scared look on my face. Pointed in the middle of the group of them and yelled "CHAMILIAO!!!!" Oh my goodness it was the funniest thing I have ever seen in my life! They all started screaming and running around with their arms above their heads. One kid just fell down on his butt and started bawling! I was rolling on the ground I was laughing so hard! Needless to say we don’t see much of those little kids anymore.

Everything here is going great and I'm way excited to start my third transfer already!! Wow its flying by!
But ya I don’t have a lot of time I have to go buy food for the week so I better go but everything is good, I'm safe, healthy and everything is great! Have a great week!
