Finding Joy in the "Portuguese" Journey

Entry into the Waters of Baptism and the Church
We had a baptism! Yolanda and her daughter Jessica were baptized this
week. Oh I just love them! They were so happy. They said they felt so
different after being baptized. The gospel truly changes people. I love
seeing the change. They are so much happier. They were so easy to
teach and they just couldnt wait to be baptized. They kept saying
thank you thank you thank you! :)

Also we played ping pong with Jessica and some girls in the ward to
help her make friends while her mom was getting interviewed. It was so
much fun!!

Contacting
My companion and I find a lot of new people to teach but it is sometimes a challenge

 to get the first lesson to not fall through. We will mark a time
and many times they will not be there or not answer their phones. SO
we are working on that.


We taught that English class agian this week. My companion is a little
unorganized and she went wild with the teaching. This one guy looked
like he was going to cry he was so confused.  I told her she needs to 

remember how we felt when we are were learning Portuguese.

 Next time we are going to plan better. She doesnt really like
to plan. Hahah but I LOVE planning.

We also had zone meeting this week. We learned about how to teach
getting revalation through prayer and reading the scriptures. IT was a
great zone meeting.

 

Food and Weather
Also guess what?! I tried fish and I liked it?!!! Yes! Crazy I know!
It had the brains and stomach and eyes and everything! hahah but I
didnt eat that part.  ARe you proud of me?

crazy! I dont sleep with covers at night and I dont think I have sweat
so much in my life hahah.  Also our gas was turned off so we had cold showers this

week, which was actually refreshing because of the HEAT!!
