So, i'm still in Massamá, and not too much has changed here. Iliana's baptism was great, her family came and everything ran very well. The water was a little cold, but she was a trooper and didn't complain.
Elder Nixon is still my comp, but now he's having some struggles because he spraned his ankle in a epic battle with the stairs on the way down from a lesson with Reuben. We were late for the train and were trying to make it home on time to plan and stuff, and we were booking it down the stairs. He was, in fact, booking it quite a bit faster than i was. He was a good flight ahead of me when i heard him shout, and i got down there and thought he was joking, but he was seriously in a lot of pain. So we made it down to the train station, he couldn't walk to well so i was supporting him, and caught the next train (it turned out to come about a minute after we got there, which made the whole thing seem rather foolish.) and headed home. We called Irmã Torgan and told her about it and she said to just keep going to benfica and the secretaries picked us up there and took us to the Red Cross in Lisbon. So we went to the emergency room (called Urgência, i.e. urgency) which turned out to be rather less than urgent. We couldn't get in until we showed that we were going to be able pay. It was more of a clinic than a hospital, but it was pretty relaxing. Elder Nixon got a cast, and we got home at around 1:30 in the morning. It was an adventure, since then missionary work has been a little bit tougher since he can't really walk. We're working it out though, between the members and such, we managed to teach more lessons last week than any other week, but because we were sort of out of commission on friday and saturday, we didn't arrange things very well for everybody going to church, so it was sort of weak, but we'll do better this week. In theory, he has to wear his cast for about 3 more weeks. So i'm working hard to not go crazy when we have to stay in because we have nobody to drive us, but we're working it out.
Let see, in other news, Marcos is marked for baptism. I don't know if that had happened last week or not, but he'll be getting baptized this saturday, he's really cool, and for some reason or another, he reminds me a lot of Ian Lovell (he really is the african version of ian)
Hm, not too much happened this week other than that, and i don't have much time because we're all sharing the same computer, so you guys have a great week, and i'll try to right something more interesting next week.
Oh, and i got my package today, we passed by the office for some transfer business going on in our zone, and the Life was a good choice, that stuff is delicious. Thanks for getting my shoes worked out, these things are really falling apart, but these new ones should last the rest of the mission, i'll try to be careful with them to be able to use them when i get home.
Anyhow, thanks for your letters, até próxima,
Elder Ammon
