Island tour to supervise audits and train auditors. This is on the way from Praia to Assomada.
There are two seasons in Cabo Verde: Windy Season and Rainy Season. This is the rainy season, and most of the island turns green.
This is the baptismal font that was built in the garage of the building rented for church in Riberao Manuel.
The chapel in the Riberao Manuel church building.
Auditing. The two young men in the middle spent the week with us doing audits. They became like family: Tony Fonseca and Jair Varela, both recently returned missionaries. Tony served in England, so he speaks excellent English and wants to be an English teacher. He is the auditor. Jair served in Brazil and wants to become a policeman. He is a counselor in the District Presidency.
This is a home that was built kind of like a castle in Calheta. It was built by a Capeverdian who migrated to Europe. But the house has never been finished, and apparently nobody lives there.
Tony and Jair and the Branch President in Calheta.
Taking advantage of every opportunity to teach and train.
The Branch President's wife and baby girl. They are awesome. They plant corn and beans and then harvest and save for the dry season. They also fish and sell fish at the market. They pray and hope for rain each year so they will have enough food to not go hungry. This year they planted, but the rains were slow in coming, so the seeds dried up. When it finally rained, they had to go out and plant again.
Missing the grandkids!
Mealtime with Tony and Jair.
