Arrival to Portugal
After we got off the plane we went to hotel Roma and it was where the first church meeting was held in portugaul. we all stayed there because there was not enough room in the mission home. there were 55 of us crazy! we got dinner lunch and breakfast there and it was so nice!! Then we found out our companions the next day. My companion is Sister Mullen she has only been here 6 weeks????!! hahah! She is 21 and from canada. She is super great! I am serving in..... Almada!!!!!!!!!! IT IS SO PRETTY!!! I love my area!!
Hahah so I had to pull my bright blue luggage everywhere up all the cobble stones!!
IT has rained a little but it hasnt bothered me. It is just a little cold. I didnt get a embrella. Oh and guess what hahah me and sister beard are in the same appartment.
Amazing Members
Also the first day we were fed dinner by a member. We were fed duck and rice and bird pooh dessert hahah it was actually good. They were super great! They were like the only family in our ward and they are great!
BUt the members here are amazing!! Some will come with us all day! Some have to walk like a hour to get to church!!! THey are so good!! WE went to church with one of our investigators ALieta and it was just so refreshing to see nice people and the difference that the church can make in peoples lifes!!! Aleita like church but doesnt feel ready to be baptized we are going to help her though.
Amazing Companion
ALso My companion rocks!! She is fearless!!!!!!!!!!!!!! She goes up to anyone and knocks on a million appartment doors and just rocks especially for not knowing the language that well!! She told me most the time she has no idea what they are saying but it seems like she does hahhah!! She is great!! I have a really hard time with the language.. I dont say alot. But at every door I would try to bare testimony ;) But I am trying so hard!!!!! I want to talk so I can help these people!!!! Also my companion is super nice and I just love her!! :)
Amazing Investigators
Hahah so another story.. So Carman is another one of our investigators. She has two kids (who are so cute) and works and her husband works. So my companion taught the 3rd lesson and I would bare testimony at parts. Then when my companion was asking her to read I felt like I should invite her to be baptized! So in my broken portuguese I invited her to be baptized! hahha and guess what? SHE said YES!!! But she still has to come to church twice before and she is supper busy so we will see!!!
