Power of Singing

Transferred

So this transfer/week flew by!!!! I had so much fun with Sister

Bollinger! I am going to miss her! But I got a new comp named Sister

Parker. She is from the US and she is on her last transfer. She is

super nice and outgoing :). Her mom is Portuguese so speaks really

well. I am excited :) I will learn so much from her and I love this

area so I am glad that I am staying. We have such a great ward.

This week we did a family night with one of the Elders Recent converts

and it was so fun. I LOVE her, she is 23 and she is so cute :)!

March Madness

We had zone conference this week. We learned how to do better contacts

in the street and how to we need to talk to everyone!! I loved it! It

was a great zone meeting!!! :) This month we are doing a march madness

with our mission :) a compatition with who can get the most references

and teach the biggest group of people!! :) (I am going to win) haha

Also this week we visited Sonas family with the elders. They helped us

teach Sonas oldest daughter Nilda who was the only one not baptized

because she has had a really hard life and doesnt believe in God. But

she promised us that she would read the book of mormon every day and

pray and go to church for a month and if she felt like there was a God then

she would be baptized on the 29 of March. I know that if she does this

she will recieve an answer.

Karaoke & Menos Activos & More Singing

Also this week we had a ward activity and sang kareokee!! :) it was

alot of fun :)! It turned out great and we had some investigators show

up and also 2 menos activos families. It also was a party for an elder in our

ward. He turned 27!

This week we visited a lot of menos activos. We first visited this

really rich lady who was so sad. She fell away from the church and she

doesnt feel like she can go back because her family will not go with her.

Then we visited a really poor menos activio and she was super sad.

After visiting them both in one day, I was spiritually exausted!! It was

just so sad. I know that there is not enough money in the world to

make someone happy. Happiness comes from living the gospel. It is

sooooo important that we ALWAYS remember Christ and have Him in the

center of our lives. I am just so grateful for our family and this

gospel.

We also finnally were able to talk to a menos activo that we have been

trying to talk to for this whole transfer. At first she was mad and

didnt want to talk to us. We started talking and then she let us in.

We talked a little and she told us her problems. She had so much anger

and hate inside of her she was shaking when she was talking. My comp

was freaked out so we were like lets sing a hymn!! We didnt have our

hymn books so we asked her if we could sing I am a Child of God in

English for her. After we sang it, she was smiling. the Spirit was

there. Then we met her grandchildren and they are sooo cute!!! :) She

said that she wants us to teach them :)!!! I am so excited!! Their

parents are Menos Activios too but I have never met them.

Also in church this week we had 3 investigators there!! :) We started

teaching this mom and daughter named Beatrice and Treaza and they are

searching for the truth and they liked church!! :) It was great! Also

a member family from Aveiro came up and surprised me!! I was giving my

testimony and then in walks their daughter and I couldnt even

concentrate!! I was so happy to see them!! :) They made lunch for us

and we talked about my last area. The little girls that we started

teaching in my last area got baptized last week!!! :) I am so happy!! I love this

gospel!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! :)
