9/18/09 Letter from Elder Shelhamer

I arrived today in Cape Verde. We arrived safely, but we aren't quite sure where our luggage is. We are hoping it will come soon.We recieved a warm welcome to the mission with a wonderful meal from Sister Neves (The Mission President's wife) in the mission home.The first area I am serving in is the Island of Fogo Fonte Aleixo. I am very excited.
