Hello Family!!
We had a fantastic
week!!! It was super busy and I went to bed so tired but it was great! First of
all the baptisms were beautiful! We felt the spirit so strong but what I think
that the thing that was even more special were the confirmations the next day!
Each one was so different but what brought me right to tears was that in Henrique’s blessing it talked about a
mission!! The day of the baptism was absolutely crazy (as always???) but
in the end everything went well. The day started with a phone call from an
investigator who wanted to break up with us, then finding the tj´s (Jehovah
Witnesses) at the home of a family we are teaching, finding the place to print
the programs closed, 2 appointments falling through, and Sis Taborda with
shingles!!!! hahaha but it was wonderful!
This week also we have
been really trying to help Anabela overcome her addiction with alcohol. It was
been a roller coaster but we are trying our best with her and she is doing a
good job! Also we had an out of the blue devotional here in Braga with Elder Moreira
of the 70 so we brought Anabela and he answered her questions from the pulpit!
He also spoke about how we need to lift our heads and always keep trying
because usually we won´t have the results we want the first time, but the Atonement
is infinite.
Yesterday Sis Taborda was super sick so we stayed home for a while but then received a desafio (challenge) from President to find a father in a house and say a prayer with him because it was Father’s Day here yesterday! So we went on our way and found lots of fathers in their houses, but no one let us say a prayer. Until it was almost time to go home when we knocked on a door where we heard Evangelical music playing. They answered and let us in! They said they were glad we weren´t Catholics, tj´s or Mormons...only slightly awkward to explain that we are the Mormons but in the end we had a great lesson with them! And we completed the challenge from President.

Crazy to hear about
the mission calls! We are having a grand ole time out here in Portugal
representing our Savior! Glad to hear that you guys are doing well. It was
really warm here this week, I got only a little sunburned but it started
raining again today. And I haven´t received the package...did you send it to
the office or my apartment? Thanks for all of your love and prayers!
