Wheelchair Project

Dear Family,

I´m sorry to interrupt  the earlier email.  We needed to go right away with the man who is helping us set up internet.  Still no luck, but the problem is Vista on our computer, it blocks Windows XP so we cannot set it up here.  Need to get rid of Vista and replace with the other.  The man knows what to do, he was sent over her by the mission president to get us set up with internet.  So we are at the church using the internet.
We are really enjoying being with the people here.  Elder Texeira of the 70 is coming tomorrow for the zone conference, our welfare area director from Germany is arriving tonight, Sister Julie Beck, the general RS president will be here in our city on Nov. 13 and 14.  Wow!

Wed. morning we are flying to another two islands, Sal and San Nicolao.  At San Nic. we will distribute wheelchairs for those who need them.  Earlier this year there was such a project here in Mindelo--the chairs are for members and non-members alike.  On the back of each chair is the name of the church--it´s funny to see the wheelchair entering the door of the Catholic Church with our church´s name on it! 
We will be in San Nicolao until Sat. night, then fly back here, then on Sunday night, fly to Praia till Tuesday.  More later, have to leave again.
Love,

us
