Hey Fam!
SO much happened this week! It was a blast and I saw the hand of the Lord many times. Last Monday we volunteered at this supplies gathering place to organize stuff for fire victims and it was incredible to see the way a community comes together! We brought our investigator with us too and she loved it. On Tuesday I had to go to Porto for leadership council, which was super inspiring! But on the way there our bus broke down so we got there a little late even though our bus left at 6 am. But we talked a lot about how we need to use the Book of Mormon more so on the bus ride back I sat by this jovem (youth) and we talked the whole time about the gospel and he was SO excited to read the Book of Mormon. I felt the spirit so strongly on that bus. The Book of Mormon has great power! On Wednesday we went out to a part of our area that was really badly affected by the fires to see if we could help and to bring hope and peace. Lots of people were still hard hearted but we found one lady whose house was burning but they saved it and she was so grateful. We gave her a BoM and she said "I love to read and I love Jesus, how much is this book??" On Thursday we had our zone meeting which I always get a little nervous to present things in Portuguese but it went well! Friday and Saturday were wonderful days full of finding awesome people to teach! We found these 2 old men painting a fence so we helped them for like an hour and they were shocked that girls can paint just as well as guys! They tried to pay us and hid money in my comp´s pocket but we gave it back. They were adorable and said they will definitely come by the church sometime. They also said that we now have grandpas in Portugal.
Something that I love is that when people start going off about things in our church, the spirit enlightens my mind and literally everything in this gospel starts to make more and more sense. I am so grateful for the Book of Mormon that teaches us so clearly! I am grateful for Joseph Smith and our prophet today that leads and guides us. I know that we have a Savior and that God is a god of love!
I love you all!
Love,
Sister Emma Hulsey
