The Power of the Book of Mormon and Members

FHE

We had a family night with the bishop and his wife! They fed us

dinner and it was great. :)

The Book of Mormon Changes People

This week we passed by a menos activo named Roselina. She was baptized

20 years ago and hasnt gone to church in a long time. When we first

talked to her, she didnt want to talk to us or let us in. But after we

talked for a little she let us read with her in the Book of Mormon.

After reading the Book of Mormon she was like a whole different

person. I love seeing how the gospel changes people. She said that she

would come with us next week to church. :)

Working with the Members

We have a investigator named Nazarie that lives in our same

building, she has a daughter that is 12 and her husband. We have been

teaching her with members this week. We brought the relief society

president with us and her councilor. They helped us so much with the

lessons and after in ward council they were so excited about our

investigator and excited about missionary work! I love working with

members!

This week we went with a member to Avientes to visit Sonja and her

girls. This part of our area has has lots of hills and tiny roads. We got

lost and she had to back up in these tiny roads with a stick

shift. After getting stuck the second time she was backing up and then

we heard her car hit the wall.... oh my stomach dropped!! She only

scratched her car but I felt soooo bad. She has a super nice car!

Stake Conference and an Apostle Visit

We had stake conf. this week. We went to Porto and the conference

was about working with missionaries. There was a woman (25)  that

was a member from North Carolina. She was so cute. I asked her why she

was here in Portugal and she siad I ask my self that every day

hahahha! She came here to teach English. My zone asked my to

translate for her. Yeah I tried... hahah so I would translate a

sentence and then I miss the whole other sentance. Ha so I asked

another sister to switch with me.  On Sunday Elder Russell M Ballard spoke and another

seventy spoke, it was great.

This week was wonderful! I am so happy I am on a mission! I miss you

all and love you all!! I know that Heavenly Father loves each and

every one of us. He listens to our prayers! We are so blessed to have

the gospel in our lifes :)!!
