Howdy yall!
This week was one of those weeks where I have no idea what
happened. It was Monday like yesterday... Anyway, on Monday we had a very chill
Pday and we watching a few movies like Meet the Mormons, and went to an all you
can eat sushi bar for lunch. On Tuesday we had the best conference of our zone
ever! It was one of those meetings where every word was meant for you. They
challenged us to reorganize our areas and we've spent a good chunk of our free
time sorting through our area book to make it easier for the next sisters that
come in. On Wednesday we had divisions in Mem Martins with the Sisters there
and I learned so much! We did two divisions in one day and by the end of the
day I collapsed on the floor in the hallway and fell asleep immediately. My companion had to wake me up so I could
take five step to get to bed. On Thursday we had a super long day where all of
our appointments fell through until our last one in which we taught this family
of 5 for the first time. Turns out they had the lessons from Sisters in Cape
Verde and are interested in hearing more so keep in tune! On Friday we had the
craziest day where we ran from appointment to appointment the whole day. We met
Rafa, who is the best friend of a member and marked him for baptism just before
Christmas. Rafa has been through a lot but he believes that it was just preparation
for that appointment where we all cried and testified of the power of the
atonement. Saturday and Sunday we ran around chasing investigators and
contacting like crazy. It's definitely been a busy week. I blinked and it was
over!
Our Thanksgiving was spent at a member's house with the rest
of the missionaries in our district. I think I've forgotten what American food
tastes like.... But the Portuguese food is amazing :) I think I'll keep it!
They love their salad, fish, chicken, and soups! I do too!
It rained. A lot.
And someone thought I was native! Haha. They said "I've
never seen a real Portuguese redhead!" That was probably the best moment
of the week. I reached 5 months last week so I'm glad to be making some
progress! I've still got a long way to go but hey, progress is progress. I
wouldn't say i'm fluent yet but it's close. Hopefully I'll serve with a native Portuguese
companion! I think that will help a lot!
Love all of you!
