Happiness In Serving

Contacting

So I LOVE knocking doors. hahhah Everyone thinks I am so wierd and
that I am probably the only missionary that likes knocking doors.
But it is so fun because I just never know what will be on the other side!! ITs
a surprise everytime!! hah I love it!! :) Also everytime we want to
knock a predio (apartment building) the door to get in is always opened for us at the exact
time we need to enter!! It is a miracle!! It is amazing!!  :)

Confirmation
Yolanda and Jessica were confermed this week in church. They are

absolutely amazing!! Oh I love them. They just said that they love
talking to us and that they feel so much better when they have talked to us.
This week we taught them about service and missionary work. Jessica
said that she wants to serve a mission and wants to go around and work
with us every day. The mom is amazing too and said that she has
already invited her friends to church.  They are constantly wanting to grow 

and learn more. I shared with them a scripture in Moroni 7: 45-47

about charity never faileth. I talked about how mom use to tell me that if 

you think to do something nice, do it because it never hurts to do something

 nice.

 

Working Towards Baptism

Also we have another investigator named Neilson and we marked him for
baptism. He has a huge problem with smoking that we need to work with.
Also we are teaching his wife too. We tried teaching them the second
lesson and his aunt was there and the whole time she was telling us we
were wrong.... oh it was so frustrating. But on Sunday he came
to church which was so great. :)

We have another investigator named Aisha. She is wonderful. She is
from Fance and she has already been taught all the lessons. She is so
nice and funny :). She caters food. Oh she reminded me of Caroline
because when we came to teach a lesson, she had the nicest brunch set out
 all beautiful for us. It all tasted so good too. HMMMM!!
She had cheese from France wrapped in this raw meet and then this
noodle salad. She also had cookies and juice. It was so nice to be fed such beautifully made and displayed food. She said that she would feed us again. We are really
going to have to work with her to be baptized because she is living
with her boyfriend and I dont think she wants to get married and its
hard to get a word in cause she talks so much. She is 26.

Divisions With the Training Sisters

Also this week we went on divisions with the sister training sisters!!
It was amazing!! I got to go with sister Warburton! OH she is a fantastic
missionary! When I was with her I felt so much more peace and it was so
much better, I don't know why.. maybe because she knew what she was doing and
she was nice and I could tell she cared about me. Also guess where she
was from... England!! She had the best accent ever! It was so fun
talking to her! i loved her accent! She was so great! She thought our
chapel was really nice. I guess it is the nicest/biggest that she has
seen in Portugal so far. After this division, sister Mullen said that she missed me a lot and
couldn't wait for the day to end with the other sister trainer... idk hahah!! I
was having the best time with the sister trainer.  hahah :)

Also Church was great I am starting to understand more and more
Portuguese. We have a huge ward but sister Mullen and I still dont
know very many of them. We need to work with the ward more. But sister
Mullen got sick to her stomuch and so we went to a members for tea and
then we got our first member lunch appointment this transfer!!

It was really hot at the begining of the week, I thought I was
going to die!! But it was nice and cloudy the rest of the week. The
training sisters died of heat when they were here, even though it was one of the cooler cloudy days when they came.  hahah.
