Hey Everyone!
This week was good. Lots of work but we some the greatest
miracles I've seen so far on my mission. It was great to talk to my family on
Sunday! They are cool people. It rained a lot this week but the Lord loves his
missionaries so it only rained while we were inside! As soon as it was time to
go outside it stopped raining!! I think God has a sense of humor or something.
There was a BBQ here for the
anniversary of the restoration of the Priesthood. We were out on the
streets hauling loads of potential investigators into the church for free food
and salvation!
On Sunday at church I translated for two American families,
a couple from Germany, and a woman from Switzerland for all three hours of
church. My brain was completely fried at the end of the day! They were returned
missionaries visiting their old areas again. One of them had served here 25
years ago and the other was a sister that trained my trainer! So she's my
grandma! The man who served here 25 years ago was standing behind me as I was
trying to talk a less active member into staying for the third hour of church
but the less active wasn't having any of it. Then the man stepped all of a
sudden like he knew the less active. Turns out the returned missionary had
baptized that less active 25 years ago!! But they didn't recognize each other
until I said the name of the less active. Talk about coincidences!
As promised, I have pictures!!
This is Teresa! If you guys saw, my dad posted a video of me
talking about her on my blog. She has such a cool story. Love her to bits!This wonderful lady also changed me mission. Her name is Lania. She's one of those unknown superwomen who just needs to be baptized. Unfortunately she moved to Brasil this week. I'm happy for her! And I'm also going to track the missionaries down in her city and annoy them until they find her.
This week was international week in the Sisters' house. We made nachos! We also made Hortchata. Yum!
This is my best friend here in Portimao! Sonia is so
awesome. She was baptized 4 years ago and loves to help us out and goof off
with us on our Pdays.
Love all of you! The Church is still true!
