Well!! Um... Haha... Things happened I guess...Hm....
*looks in journal to find something to write*
Oh yes!
So we taught a lawyer this week! We were knocking doors and
this older lady let us in and we started talking about the Book of Mormon with
her. She asked a lot of questions about Joseph Smith and the Restoration,
mainly not believing that we had had a period of time when the priesthood had
been lost. Normally to explain how authority works we tell a little story about
how an Ice cream man couldn't give someone a ticket for running a red light in
a car because he's not a policeman. Well come to find out (thanks to our Lawyer
friend) that in Portugal Ice Cream Men actually CAN give people tickets. It's
something like a citizens arrest I think... But she was cool about it haha!
We invited absolutely everyone we taught this week to be
baptized due to a challenge from our District Leader. No one accepted... YET.
We're gonna do it again. Muhahaha.
We treated for lice again!! Hopefully we're lice free. We
found out that the Primary kids all came down with lice the week before we got
it and no one told the missionaries. The Sunday after we found the lice half
the kids in the primary came to church with shaved heads XD
This week we taught Joana about the Atonement and how faith
and repentance are like steps on the ladder in order to get out of deep a hole.
She sat for a moment looking at this little picture we drew and then clapped
her hands and had a eureka moment! She looked at us and said, "Sisters!!
Now I know why I love Jesus!" We smiled and my heart was filled with
sunshine ^_^

We had an activity at the train station again!! From left to
right around my head, My companion, Sister Selman, Marisa (a RM), Tolwer (the
Elders quorum president and a recent convert of the sisters) Sony (recent
convert), Carla, and Lili (recent convert and soon to be missionary). IT WAS
AWESOME!!!
We also had this heart attack of a dinner with the best
family ever. I think They're trying to kill us XD This is basically 3 grilled
cheeses with a steak in between every sandwich, stacked on top of each other in
a tent of cheese on top of French fries drowned in sauce and sautéed onions and
mushrooms. So yummy!! Heehee!
We also had a tour of the church with one of our families
that we're teaching. They really liked it! The kids went off to play in the
nursery and the ping pong table that we have and we talked to the parents about
the youth programs and the temple. They are such a great family... I'm just praying
every day that they'll be able to get married so they can be baptized.... SOON:
Well, that's all folks.
Love you!!
Sister Ellsworth
