Então hoje vou ensinar vocês como é para ser mesmo português. Vocês vão
aprender quâo incrível é para ser parte deste pais.
Estou a brincar... Vou falar o inglês...
So this week was so much fun I can't even begin to describe
all the crazy things we did. We climbed mountains in the rain and found these
two adorable Angolan girls. The Elders had a crazy hectic baptism and we had
the biggest ward activity in Portugal! Today one of our members took us on a
long car ride all over Sintra and Cascais. We got rained on all week but 5
umbrellas later I'm beginning to dry out!
On Tuesday we got a phone call from a member I had never
heard or seen in church but he called with two references of two young women
that had come from Angola that day that wanted to talk to the Sisters. We were
like YEAH! And we ran over there and met them and we found two best friends.
The older is Lavinha and she's 14 and her younger sister is Sira and she's 9.
Basically their mother died a few months ago and they got shipped to live with
their uncle (the member). They walk with us in the road constantly asking
questions and joking around, happy to have two new big sisters.
We also had an awesome miracle this week! One of our friends
Jorge straight up stopped smoking! After smoking 40-50 cigarettes every day for
40 years, he read the Book of Mormon and gave us his cigarettes saying that he
was done not having control in his life. #WINFORJESUS
This is the dedication site when President Thomas S Monson
dedicated Portugal for Missionary work back in the 70's. It's on top of this
huge mountain and then in the middle of a little forest but from this rock you
can oversee Lisbon and the ocean. It's beautiful! These are Sira and Lavinha!
BOCA DO INFERNO!!! This is probably the coolest thing I've seen yet in Portugal. Its this rock bowl that has
a tiny opening to the ocean and when the waves come water just explodes through
this hole. Today it was stormy and the water was even more agitated.
We hiked up to a little lighthouse.
