One Happy Momma! I found his Companions blog! (and stole stuff from it!)

from Elder Drawe's blog:   So this week what another great week that I learned alot. Literally sometimes me and Elder Judd just walk and talk about life and stuff its pretty sweet. But this week we were talking about Prayer. We figured out that prayer is not to change the will of God but to gain the vison that he has. So for example, here in Cape Verde, there is alot of people that ask God for work. They rarely gain work..but yet God blesses them with knowledge and the will to look. But half the time they don´t realize that. Its interesting how God blesses us. He never gives us things on a plater but he gives us desires, strengths etc. But its our job to act on the disires. So we have made a goal not to ask for baptisms, strengths, abilities..etc. We decided that we pray for desires and for us to realize opportunites to serve and excercise our power to act. Just with these little changes in our prayers we have been able to find two families and some new investigators. Literally the Lord works in mysterious ways. But its our job to understand His nature and then change our life accordingly, and prayer has the power to see his point of view and to really know the nature of our Father in Heaven. Prayer is a pretty sweet principle! 

Well pretty much the joke these days is that its blazing hot out side. Like literally you guys should see us after a days work. Its soooooooooooooooooooooooo gross. Also the tan lines that we get are freaking killer. Played basketball today and had a reg. shirt on and it was freaking funny! My tan line is crazy! Also Elder Judd is getting eaten alive out here. Sad...but funny!

However, I got Filho (son) 2.00. He is super cool! He is from American Fork, Utah. He really just wants to work his butt off out here and wants to be obedient. Nothing more I can ask for. He is the golden Child!  He already speaks the language and is humble enough to take some input and everything. So last night we had a lesson, about Joseph Smith and it was a pretty good lesson and he just got super pumped after the lesson and just jumped up and down and just was so pumped. Yep he is my Elder Calhoon!
