Happy Belated Thanksgiving!

Bom Dia Alegria!!! 
Como Voces estão? 

I hope you all had an amazing Thanksgiving and ate lots! Since they don't celebrate Thanksgiving here, it was just a normal day and I ended up getting a flu shot! We thankfully have a missionary couple here from the United States, so we ended up having a Thanksgiving meal with them yesterday and it was incredible! 

I have officially hit 6 MONTHS! Where has the time gone?! It is flying by and I need it to go a little slower! 

I have been doing really poorly at sending emails and I am very sorry for that! I will try to do better these coming weeks! 

We had William's baptism yesterday! It has been a struggle teaching him because it has all been in English and it is a miracle that any of those lessons made sense. William has so much faith and was prepared by the Lord to meet with us and listen to this gospel. He is such an incredible person and it has been such a pleasure to get to know him and help him get closer to Jesus Christ and our Heavenly Father. He would also give us Nigerian food everytime we went over there! 

We have also been teaching Edgar! He is from Cape Verde and has so much knowledge. We go over and teach him things we think will be new to him and he understands them all perfectly and wants to learn more. His faith is growing more and more each day and he was able to find a job! He starts tomorrow! This gospel truly changes lives! I love being here and seeing the differences made in people's lives. 

I am thankful for all of you in my life and am very grateful to be here in Portugal dedicating my time to help the people here strengthen their relationship with Jesus Christ and God. 

We are going to spend time in a bee farm today and I am both excited and terrified! I'll tell y'all all about it next week! I love y'all!!
