ALOHA!!!
I am so glad Sis Poole texted Aunt Natalie! yeah we had this Hawaiin party here in Porto and they were there! It was really fun to talk with them! The party was super fun too! They were playing some worldly music though and I couldn´t help but dance. We had an investigator there too and so she was able to meet some peeps! Man me and Sister Nagliati would hand out so many invites for that party though. Every time we got on a bus I would say you take front I take back and we hand invites to everyone! Now we will have to do that for Conference! Yes, we get to watch conference! I think all the session
this Saturday and
Sunday! We are hoping to have a lot of investigators there! I am so excited to be able to hear from our living prophet today and the apostles! What a privilege. Haha oh Caleb, I love him! Yeah Christmas will be a great day! Wow I wish I could have been there for the primary program! I am proud of Caleb and Eli. sounds like they did a great job. We only have like 3 or 4 kids in primary, so I don´t think they´re doing a program. Sister Nagliati and I are trying right now actually to really work with this ward. It has some strong members but they are a little burnt out. We are praying to know how to better help and serve them!
Wow congratulations to Gma! What an exciting thing to celebrate! Without her, or the misssionaries that taught her, I wouldn´t be here! It´s so fun to be with Sister Nagliati-every day we make oil and vinegar salad and then we drink the leftover vinegar!! And she doesn´´t care if I´m loud because she is too.
OK so about Dani, the woman who stopped us. SHE IS INCREDIBLE!!! I don´t even believe she is real. She is totally receptive to our message and truly wants to change her life. She is doing great with quitting smoking. We made her a calendar where she smokes one less cigarette a day and has a new scripture every day to read and uses prayer. We try to really focus our lessons on the Savior and the enabling power of the atonement for her! She fed us dinner this week, took us out to crepes, gave us a ride to church, and offered to take us grocery shopping. She bought a knee length dress for church (cause she only had mini skirts!) and gave a ride home to one of our other investigators! I pray that the Lord will continue to give her strength!
Also we are teaching a super cute family and the mom and baby came to church!! She was only able to make it for sacrament but she said she really liked it! Her baby, Simao, is the cutest thing and during the hymns he would start dancing! He did really well in Sacrament Meeting too! She really likes our messages. Her husband works every
Sunday though. And they are not married. So Sis Nagliati and I really want to teach some powerful lessons so they will really want to change and be baptized! and Rosa...well she really needs some help. Sis Nagliati and I are at a loss on how to help her. Every time she calls us telling us she is not ok we tell her to read and pray and we bear testimony of our Savior. Other than that there isn´t much we can do!
The Lord is blessing us with so many miracles! It is so humbling because I realize every day how imperfect I am. I mess up every single day. Yet because of the atonement, I have the chance to try again every day. The Lord is so merciful! I know he loves us to much! He is in the details of our lives! I love that dots theme for YW (depond on the Savior). I realize more every day how dependent I am on the Savior, which makes me want to share this message. It´s the single greatest thing we can give-a message of hope and peace. I love you guys! Hope you have a wonderful week! and I hope conference is a great experience!
