It has been a very busy week as we prepared then held a Senior Conference in Praia. We also are getting ready for transfers. We held a number of visits this past week and enjoyed meeting new people. They are all friendly and are delighted to have you visit. But when it comes to doing things in the church, it turns to a different story.
Sharon has been preparing for a RS activity at the end of this month. The Sisters are doing a play about the organization of the RS, and Sharon is making bonnets for about 7 of the RS sisters. She found a pattern on the internet and had to work hard to figure it out, but in the end the bonnet turned out really nice. I in the mean time have been working on a simple cookie handcart, that the sister can make (like a Christmas gingerbread house) and have come up with an easy design. We priced the cookies and I think it will be a hit.
Cute bonnet!!!!!
We traveled to Praia on Thursday and had the conference that afternoon. The Brewers came in from Mindelo. In all we had the 3 couples plus President and Sister Tolman. It was a good time together and refreshing to talk of problems and solutions. We each have our own way of dealing with problems which makes things interesting. President Tolman was pleased with the conference, as was everyone else.
Elder & Sister Lopes, Brewer, Tolman and Waller
Sister Tolman and Sharon had some good long talks; missionary related stuff????
On Friday we drove to Assomada and then over to Tarrafal where we had lunch. The island is large and there are areas where they grow lots of produce. We had a nice lunch on the beach and then drove back along the coast, very rough roads and we were glad to get out of the car.
Transfers are this weekend and we have major changes here in the Fogo Zone. Elders Kinghorn, Day, Ellis, Silva, DaLuz and Sister Duarte are being transferred. Actually Elder Day goes home. We are receiving Elders Ray, Wyson, Tuttle, Sequeira, Gunn, and Sister Silveira. So we are excited about the new arrivals.
We were sad to leave Praia as it will be the last time we see President & Sister Tolman for awhile. They leave in 3 weeks for home. We will see them at the October reunion in Provo.

Sister Skinn and Duarte having cachupa, fish or chicken. It was just okay!!
