Love Stories and a Lot of Food

Hard Farewells

We taught Maria almost everyday this week because she left this Friday

for France. She will be there for 2 months. We found a church that is

kinda far away from her house... but we sent her information over to

the missionaries there. She was crying when she gave us a hug goodbye.

Interviews

We had interviews this week. It was good we learned how to teach

about tithing and how to invite people to church. In my interview

President asked how I was doing and I said great but the language is

still hard for me and then he asked me if I have had a native comp

yet. I said no. Then he wrote something on a peice of paper... AHHH!

Less Active Love

Also this week we have been passing by a lot of less actives. A less

active member named Maria invited us over for lunch. Her friend from

England came too. His name is Sam. He is in love with Maria and was

visiting for the week. Haha he kept wanting me to translate all of

these really cheesey love lines to her... like... "Maria I dont care

where we go as long as I am with you..." or "Maria you dont have a

price you are priceless..." hahah!!! She was not interested in him at

all. But he said that he would talk with the missionarys in England so

we gave his info to the missioarys there. Hahah it was a really

interesting lunch.

Member Missionary Activity

Also this week we made cookies and brownies with our members. It was

my first brownie in 10 months! :)! We also had an activity with them

this week, where they had to be missionarys. With the elders we

pretended to be people in the street and they had to contact us and

invited us to church. It was fun because they got to see a little bit

of what it is like :).

Lots more Dinners

One of the elder's investigators named Gloria (from Italy) invited us

over for dinner this week. Haha, she was soo fun and nice!! She loves

the missionaries! She was so full of energy and loud and loving hahah I

love her. Its really diff because people here are not like that at all. She

has been an investigator for a long time and wants to get

baptized but she still has to prepare.

Also our stake president had us over for dinner this week. We have just been

fed so much this week! Yeah!  Also today we went and explored in Porto it was

so much fun :)  I will include pictures.
