Ola familia e amigos!!!
This week has been a good one!
We are doing a 40 day fast here on the mission! Each day, one or two companionships will be doing a fast for the mission. We did it back in October and we saw so many miracles coming from it, so President Tavares decided to do it again and I can’t wait to see more miracles!
Our investigator, Jaime, accepted to be baptized on the 14th of this month, but he didn’t make it to church yesterday, so he won’t be getting baptized tomorrow. We have been calling him and stopping by his house and he is not responding. We don’t really know what’s going on, but I hope that we will be able to come into contact with him soon. He has been progressing so much and has been doing really well, he just needs to come to church one more time!
We taught a man named William with the Schlofmans (the senior couple in our area!). William is from Nigeria and I am convinced that he has been prepared to meet with us. We taught him about Joseph Smith and about how this church was restored and invited him to be baptized. He said that he wanted to be baptized and is ready! His friend was also there and listening and he made food for us! He made something called Fufu and a tomato soup with Okra. It was really good! They Were so nice and so sweet! I love meeting people here!!
Today we had a barbecue by the beach and we were told to wash the lettuce for the salad in the ocean. As missionaries, we can’t go out into the ocean, so we were standing there trying to wash the lettuce, but the water was too shallow so we were washing the lettuce with lots of sand basically. Welcome to a Portuguese BBQ.
Thanksgiving is coming up and I challenge you all to write 5 things you are grateful for each day. This will help you all see just how blessed you are and how much your Heavenly Father loves you! I will also be doing this challenge because I need to see more positively and see the hand of my Heavenly Father in my life!
I love you all so so much and hope you all have an amazing week!
This week has been a good one!
We started the week off by going to Lisbon so that I could go and do SEF (visa stuff). It felt so so good to be in Lisbon again, but the ride there was pretty long and I was getting really antsy. It takes 3 hours to get there by train. I went to go SEF with Sister Ramirez, Sister Warren and Sister Stubbs! It was like an MTC reunion! We all signed the papers and left our fingerprints so we are legal gain! Whoop! We stayed there for a couple more hours to go to a devotional that was given by someone in the Sunday school general presidency, President Durrant (who was a mission president in the Texas Dallas mission!) and the General Young Men’s President, President Owen. It was a really good devotional and we all felt so uplifted and ready to work afterwards! Those men have so so much power and have such strong testimonies of this gospel.
