Alô!
This week we went to Sintra andI got to see Sister Ribeiro!
She's one of my best friends from the Algarve. We got some cool souvenirs. On
Tuesday we had the "funeral" for three of our elders that are going
home this week. We made brownies, cookies, drinks, and salsa! Afterwards we
found a lady named Olinda, this older lady who has been through lots of hard
times in the past. When she opened the door she said that she didn't want to
talk to use because she believed that God was punished her and she was in the
middle of a 40 year long silent treatment since her 3 children and husband died
leaving her alone. We were able to kind of talk our way in and she sat down to
listen about how the Atonement of Christ can help her overcome the bitterness
that she feels. She gave us a little twinge of a smile and I know she felt
something there.
This week I also found a little thing of Crab Salad... If
you know me you know I really LOVE crab salad. I got so excited and I bought
it. We got home for lunch and I opened it and you know what it was? It was
freaking coleslaw. Sigh. Some days you just can't win. Haha
We also went to a members' house for dinner and their two
year old threw up all over. Awkward. But we put our hair up and helped clean up
while the little boy got tossed into the bath.
I hit 15 months this week too. Whoa.
On Saturday we spent 5 hours cleaning a house that had been
growing mold for the past ten years. It had mold about an inch thick
And Transfers are here! I'll be going back to the other side
of the river to Coasta da Caparica to serve with............ *drumroll*

Póvoa! Haha it's going to be awesome!!
Until next week,
Sister Ellsworth
