Our baptism didn't happen.... it was her grandma's birthday and she drank so she won't be baptized for a few more months. I hate when that happens!!!!! But it's better to find out before than after.

Anyways with the week, we have been super busy with getting visas for Angola. This is a long complicated process that even involves a stool sample... yes they need a stool sample. It was kinda fun handing out the little cups to the missionaries! Then we had to carry it to the hospital to get the tests all done. I hope we can get this all done before Pres. wants them to leave. I'm just with Elder Harris now. Elder Udall went AP after Fiallo left. Brower is in Matola. Next week I will be with Elder Henry. (No one knows that yet but since I'm in the office and I know the right people I found out he he) I'll let you know how that is in a few weeks.

This week went by pretty well and work in the office went almost without a hitch this week. Until one apartment got its water shut off because the elders threw away the bill. I thought about letting them suffer over the weekend but my conscience got the better of me. Dang I hate when that happens. So we went and stood in line for 3 hours on Friday to get it fixed. Come to find out the land lord hasn't paid his water bill for a long time either so we paid for it and he will get a small rent check this month. We are so good to our land lords here. If somthing needs to be fixed we fix it and take it out of their rent. They don't even have to worry about it. But then they complain at the end of the month because they didn't get the full amount. The thing is is that we can't ask them to do it because it won't get done. Oh well, not a lot we can do about it.

Also we got to do a little more teaching this week which was good. We are teaching 2 guys whose mom has been a member for like 2 years. They haven't sat with the missionaries yet so we taught a first lesson yesterday and it went really well. They seemed to like it and are excited to read and pray. Everything was going well until one of them said the closing prayer. He asked the Lord to bless "these two prophets whom though hast sent to us."... ya we're gonna have to fix that later. Oh well, that's just how Africa is.

Well everything here is going good. The office is going well and I'm glad to be a part of it. I will get my new comp here next week so I'll have to train him on all this stuff. I just hope that I've learned enough about what needs to be done that I can train someone else on it. Anyways I better go, we are going to lunch with Elder Long, its his second to last p-day here so we are going to hang out. I'm gonna miss him. I lived with him for 3 transfers and I loved it! He's such a great kid! anyways I love you! talk to you later!

Love Elder Filho
