Ola Familia!!! 

WHAT. A. WEEK. seriously it was amazing with some ups and down but filled with the spirit! To start off on Tuesday we went to visit a reference for the last time, because we had already tried multiple times to visit her and she never answered. so we told Heavenly Father it would be the last and guess who answered the door this time!! Her name is Jessica and she is really cool! Then that night we went to go visit a Brazillian family that we had also tried multiple times to visit and they always told us to come back a different day. We would go later and they would tell us the same thing. So we decided it would be the last time for a while to visit them too, and guess who let us in??? We got to teach the whole family with 5 kids! it was awesome! 

Then on Wednesday we had a zone conference ...it was really good! But after we had to go to the hospital because my comp had tripped and her foot was really hurting. Turns out she broke her foot!!! She got a huge cast and we found out she can´t put her foot on the ground for 4 weeks!! So then on Thursday she got crutches and wanted to try and go out to work but her arms got very tried so I offered to carry her home but she wouldn´t let me. SO we went back home and studied the scriptures. Then Friday morning Anabela called us and said that she probably won´t be baptized on Saturday...what the... so we got a taxi and went over to her house.  We testified to her and helped her work out her doubts and in the end she decided to be baptized on Saturday.  Hallelujah!! thanks to the spirit and Heavenly Father that helped us so much. 

Saturday was a wonderful day. First we had to go back to the hospital because they put the cast on way too tight haha then at night we had the baptism!! it was a beautiful service and Anabela bore a wonderful testimony! it was wonderful and then after the baptism we had a ward activity for Easter! It was a lot of fun. SOO Sunday arrives and it was a little different because this week we had to figure out how to get Sis Taborda to church when usually it´s our investigators who need a ride, but we found a ride! Then Anabela got there and right before sacrament meeting started she had to leave because her ex husband was at her house!! So she didn´t get the baptism of fire dangit! Hopefully the next week! She really wants to get it so the Lord will help. BUT 

I'm being transferred to Sao Joao de Madeira so i won´t be here to see her get the Holy Ghost. I'm SAD to leave Braga!! I am really growing to love it here!!! I love the people here! On Sunday all  of the sudden a woman named Paula walked into church and she told us she is ready for a change in her life and she stopped using drugs 3 weeks ago. We told her she is in the right place! Anyways I know Sao Joao de Madiera will be great too! 

Oh yes I did talk with that woman (who emailed you)! She was super nice and has a very interesting life story!!! 

Love you guys!! Easter should be great because most people here believe a lot in Christ. We shall see how it goes! I will tell you my new address when I get it.
