The Gospel in Action

ANTONIO is getting baptized! :)
I am so excited!! He is excited too
haha I think he is just nervous about the water being cold. But we
have had some really great lessons with him this week and he is ready.
I am so happy for him :)
(he also told me that if you give a frog a cigerette it will explode
haha I learn new things every day!)

FHE – Fun Home Experiences
Monday we had a family night with family in our ward and
Beatrice. It was great. Paulo Santos gave the lesson and used lots of
objects and things to help the kids understand. He has 3 kids. Then we
brought a game :) we put chocolate in the middle and then we used dice
and if it landed on a one the person could start eating the chocolate
with a spoon and a oven mitt until the next person got a one. haha it
was fun!! :)

Helping the Lost Sheep
We have been working a lot with this member named Lusi, I love her. She
is a return missionary and she is amazing!! I just want to be her! She
has been working with us with the menos activos. She wants us to help
 the menos activos read the book of mormon. We made a
list of the ones that we wanted to focus on and we are praying for
them everyday at 7.

We have been trying to pass visit the menos activos that are young adults
and we want to start a fhe activity each week for them. while we have
been passing by we have been finding families and so many more people
to teach!! :)

Teaching the New Curriculum and an Umbrella Tradition
This week were able to sub and teach the young woman. :)! They were so
cute! We have 2 young women in our ward. We taught about the
the God head. I really like how the lessons are structured now! The new
curriculum is great!

Today we rode around on bikes in the city.   Also, the Portuguese
have this tradition where they celebrate some
saint(I forgot the name). To celebrate they go to the top of their church and throw
sweet bread off the roof and the people at the bottom hold
umbrellas upside down to catch it.  They use these giant stick
net things to catch the bread. It is really funny to see  really

old people fighting over really hard bread hahahh :)
