Hello family!!!! 

haha glad you got the pics from tomi...turns out that tomi is just the brand of some machines they have throughout the city that take fun pictures! 

I'm very glad Eli´surgery went well. That little dude is a champion. Megan will love school. It is so much fun. 

MAN so much has happened I do not know where to begin. Viseu is like the complete OPPOSITE of Sao Joao so it has been a kind of funny adjustment. We have a ton of people to teach and keep finding more every day. The ward is really big and our house is super close to the church. We all call this place Vicéu. I am super blessed to be here! My new comp is Sister Johnson and she only has 6 weeks on the mission. She´s a great missionary though! We have been working and working and my head is spinning trying to learn the new area and all the new people but the Lord has blessed us a lot.

I had a kind of long bus ride to come to Viseu and I was sitting by this cute lady and we had a wonderful conversation about the Plan of Salvation. I was kind of unprepared and didn´t really have anything in my backpack but an Ensign so I left it with her and she gave me all of her information and everything. She told me she knew it wasn´t a coincidence that we sat by each other.  

The night I got here we went to go visit someone but we ended up getting a little lost...out of the corner of my eye I saw this girl at a cafe so I waved and said hello and next thing you know she was walking with us to her house so we could talk with her and her family. She said she felt bad because we were lost but she was really excited to talk with us. She is super cute and already has desires to be baptized. We found out it was her birthday on Saturday so we wrapped up a Book of Mormon to give to her. We brought it over there and she was pumped! Then we went over the next day and she said she really likes reading it and that her aunt was going crazy the other day so she grabbed the Book of Mormon and started yelling verses at her and she said the aunt stopped and was fine. 

We have been finding some really cool people. The Lord is truly blessing us. We have been getting home super tired but it´s the best. Training has been fun because the training material is so good! We learned a lot about the power of the Book of Mormon in conversion this week. I know that the power of Jesus Christ has been restored and I am so excited to share this news with others. 

love you all! 

Sister Hulsey

When me and sister griffin had to pack up and move! We almost missed the one bus that left sao joao!! 

Lisandra, the person who had pity on us when we were lost.

Sister Johnson´s family tradition is every friday night eat popcorn and smoothies for dinner so we went with it!
