Hello!
Just to let you all know i love reading your letters every week! I am not good at writing letters, but just always remember that i love you all very much! and also that i love being a missionary. It is amazing how every day and every hour we can see miracles. We had a great week. We are having a hard time helping our investigators progress but we have a lot of faith that here shortly they will. We knocked a lot of doors this week and found quite a few new people to teach. On thursday we were able to teach the family of dani and after we knocked some doors. We found an old woman who when she answered she told us she was really sick and didn´t have any money. We told her we were just there to share some good news and we were able to teach her! the spirit was really strong. I told her how i had a brother who was very sick last year and the only source of peace we had was the savior. We are going to visit her again this week. And right after talking with her we found a woman in the street who was trying to get into this one house and couldn´t so we asked if she needed help and she said no but we continued to talk to her. After explaining who we were we asked if we could have her number to set up a time to visit her and she asked if we could share our message right then. HAHA it was awesome! she seems to have a lot of interest and we totes will visit her again this week. It seems to be just when we think our feet are going to fall off and we have no more energy the Lord blesses us to be able to teach a lesson. And somehow every morning we are ready to do it all again. Sister barboza and I had a goal to talk with EVERYONE this week. The standard for our mission is 50 contacts a day and we want to reach that. Although it is difficult because we are always running late but we figured we could just try our best. Sooo we play this game where whoever passes one person has to contact the next 2 and then it just keeps doubling. it gets pretty fun. One time there was this man on the other side of the street that i saw coming so i told sis barboza i will go contact this one and ran across the street and then all the sudden he switched sides of the street so i did too and then he switched again. i tried really hard to talk with him but he wasn´t having it. Anyways i know the lord blesses our efforts!
Also in church one of the speakers said something that really touched me. He asked us how would we fulfill our callings if Jesus were the bishop of that ward? it made me think what kind of companion or missionary would i be if my comp were jesus? anyways, the cool thing is when we don´t live up to our potential we always have the chance to try again.
I hope you guys have a very happy thanksgiving and caleb HAVE A VERY VERY VERY HAPPY BIRTHDAAY!! i cannot believe he is 5. holy moly time is flying. Yeah i don´t think portugal celebrates thanksgiving :) but i will still eat a lot that day to celebrate. Hope black friday is awesome this year too! I will pray for you. Tell all the family that i am very thankful for each of them and for the gospel of Jesus Christ! Love each of you very much!
Love
