Hello!!!
It is always so good to hear from you! Thanks for the birthday wishes! It was a great day. This week was crazy and I almost can´t remember everything that happened. But on my birthday after exercises I really wanted something yummy to eat so we went to the cafe right by my house and got this pastry thing that was delish. Then as we were doing studies the elders called and said that this man Jorge, a member here, wanted to take us out to a really far part of our area and that we would go work out there for a little bit before heading to a member's house for lunch! So, we got in and like 30 minutes later ended up at the beach! I had no idea the beach was our area!! So we went and knocked a bunch of doors out there and got to hear the crash of the waves as we did it. I have always wanted a beach birthday and I got one. Then we went to the member's house for lunch and it was delicious! At the end they gave us some walnuts to eat and Irmao Jose took his and cracked it open with his hand. (he´s 94 btw!!) Then I tried but I didn´t secure the walnut with my other hand so the walnut went flying and almost hit Irma Otilia in the head!! Then my hand hurt for like 4 days. We all were dying of laughter. Anyways after that we knocked some doors and taught our gypsy family again! She said they were going to Porto to try and live in a different house but today we saw her at the grocery store and they are staying! Woohoo! I really love them! We have taught some other lessons this week too which is always a pleasure. Also all of Saturday we spent trying to get people to come to church. We had Aldina committed but then she called and canceled danget! But then when we got to church Marta, and old investigator who we have been trying to get to church for weeks now, was sitting there! We were able to teach her a little bit after church and she said that she is giving us a ride to the branch activity this week. I know that the Lord blesses all of our efforts, and that no righteous effort goes unnoticed.
Hope you guys have a wonderful week full of lots of memories. Thanks for your prayers! Love you guys!
