Miracles Galore in Portugal

1st Baptism

So first......... BAPTISM!!!! One of our investigators was baptized this week!! Her name is Aleita!!! I love her :)! She is so great! I was so happy. I couldnt stop smiling! She was so happy too!! SHe kept saying thank you and she calls us her daughters hahah. She said thank you so much for helping me coming to this church. Ohhh she is great!

Aleita lives right on the ocean but, she nothing and no money. This week for service I helped her with her job resume. I hope she can get a job. A girl that is fluent in English and Portuguese translated what I wanted to ask ALieta and then I would tell her what to write down. That is what we did for service this week.

Calling to Grow

Hahha and you know how I dont have a musical bone in my body..  hahha well they decided to choose me to lead....! Scary! I couldnt do it at all, let alone sing in Portuguese!!!! But there was a point that I just started "writing" my name in the air in cursive and just smiled!! This is just one  of many embarrassing moments I have had so far! :)

Language Mixups :)

Speaking of embarassing moments hahah I forgot to tell you about when I first talked in Portuguese. We were teaching this girl named Daisy and I told her that I was 90 instead of 19 hahah I just started laughing haaha!

Oh and I cried in the middle of the street this week. I was so frustrated with the language! I still have nooooooooo idea what people are saying and I speak like i am 2!!! It is really embarrassing. But I am trying to stay patient with myself and work hard.  

Contacting Miracle

We need to find new investigators! :) We do alot of walking and contacting! My legs hurt so bad at the end of the day! Contacting freeks me out!! But I just have to do it!! Missionary work is really hard, but  I love the gospel and I am trying my best.

Oh and when we were walking around tracting this week we ran into this woman. We started talking to her and found out that she had lost her husband and so we told her that she will see him again. She started bawling and hugged us and said that she would come to church. She was so eager to get our number! (hahah that is so rare)! :)

Preparation Day Adventure

Also this week for pday we went to Cristo Rei. Wow the view was AMAZING!!!! Dont worry I took so many pictures! I loved it! We went with our whole district and we ate at this yummy pizza place. Haha, but it was so hot! But we have such a sweet district! Sorry I cant send pics :( I guess the computers take too long)

Interesting Facts About Portuguese

THEY LOVE SOCCER!!!!!! I LOVE IT!!!! hahhahah but then I dont love it cause you know when there is a game because no one is on the streets and no one wants to talk to you! Haha and they honk in the streets and it is great!

ALso they kiss each other on their cheecks and I had to get used to that!
