A Wonderful Area and Wonderful People

Birthday and New Companion

My old cute comp took me out to chineese and ice cream for my birthday :) I love her :)

But I am lucky and I get to stay in this area :). I got a new companion. Her name is Sister Jackson. She is from Virginia and went to BYU.

 

Member Work

This last week was great. We worked alot with the members this week. They came and taught with us and we taught alot of menos activos (less actives).

Our members are really so great and help us so much. It was kinda hard to teach the menos activos. It was so sad because they have had the truth but something happened and they would just rather be sad and not go back to church. It is so important for all of us to continue to grow and stregnthen our testimonies. We can do this by reading the scriptures, praying, going to church and living the gospel of Jesus Christ. But, one of the inactives that we taught did come to church again.

Crazies

We had this crazy guy named Blue Sky come up to us and give us pictures of aliens... they were pictures of clouds... hahah it was so funny. On one of the pictures he wrote.. "while I prepare my Tabaco they talk to me telapathelly" ... what?  hahahh wierd and he thinks that Joseph Smith got attacted by aliens.

More Good Food and a Christmas Party

 Michelle fed us again this week. Wow it was so yummy :). We had hot dogs, fries, soup, and cake. So much food.

We had a huge stake Christmas party this week in Viseu! There were so many people and sooooooo much food. First we had a primary program and the little kids sang and then Santa came and gave the kids really good gifts like soccer balls and dolls!! Then they had a huge lunch. My fav thing was the choc solami. Then they had 4 baptisms. Antonio wasn't baptized, but we are still working with him.

Today I wiated for my new comp and I had to stay with a member all day. Haha We went on lot of errands and she was a crazy driver hahahh. She made me samon and it was actually good :). haha my taste buds are changing :) haha but she was so sweet to stay with me all day :).
