#paradise

This last week was good. Found 14 new investigators, of which a good amount seem very potential!!! So Elder Badger and I are very excited to work with them! We had a man named George who came to church and he seems very promising! So that's awesome! He has been smoking for 40 years but is excited to stop! This place is beautiful! Elder Badger and I went to a place called ponta da piedade today. It was amazing!
While looking for investigators and people to talk with on the streets, we also keep an eye out for nêspra trees! They are orange little spring fruits that you can just pick and eat! They are so good! My favorite brand of juice just came out with an apple juice that is bascially like drinking apple sauce #paradise.
Had a lesson with 2 old ladies. It was a pretty funny one. One of them told us she had some pretty grand daughters for us, and then wanted to kiss our cheeks, but since she couldn't give us a kiss, she just caressed our faces, haha she was a nice lady.
That about does it for the week... not much more. I love you all, Thanks for the support and the prayers!!!







"Palm trees, beach, tourists all over and beautiful warm weather!!!"

Well, completely different here in Lagos. Palm trees, beach, tourists all over, and beautiful warm weather!!! What a blessing! Some fun things that happened this past week, met a 7th day Adventist that invited us over for some soup and garlic bread to discuss the bible. That was a nice conversation. Found a Bulgarian man that invited us in and gave us some saltines and coke and tried his blood pressure monitor on us... it was definitely something different. The branch president here is Portuguese, but his wife is american (so she makes lots of american food!!!) The first counselor is British so he doesn't speak too much Portuguese, and the branch is pretty cool here! There are some firm members and that always makes things a little easier! Elder Badger and I are still on the look out for some more elect of the Lord. Itś been a while since I've baptized so I am thinking its about time to get back into the water! Excited to be here! It was an ugly day today so I didn't get good pictures, on a good p day we are going to the beach and the cliffs! We have a man that is preparing to be baptized, just struggling with coffee and smoking right now. We shall see. Love you all!!!

Love Elder Quinn!
