Madeira

Adventures on the Island

The airplane ride was a lot of fun. I was kind of nervious because I

didnt know how it would be but...I LOVE MADEIRA!!! It is soooo beautiful!!

it is probable one of the prettiest places I have ever been!!! :) It is soo green,

I can see the ocean from every part in my area and has beautiful flowers.

They even have a flower that smells like popcorn!! It is not too hot

and not too cold, it’s perfect weather :) Everything is uphill so we use

the buses alot. Also in our area there are a lot of tourists. They say

that Madeira is like the Hawaii of Europe. Its fun to see people from

different parts of the world and hear them talk. I love talking to

anyone that is from England hah :) But we dont usually work where the

torrists go.

We live in a beuatiful house. We share it with 2 other sisters

Sister Cardoso (Portuguese) and Sister Prieto ( Brazilian). It has been

really fun to have other sisters in the house. Ha the first night I

woke up to go running and there was a giant cock roach on the floor...

ew... also we might have bed bugs!!! But its okay hahah I am on an

island :)

I love our little branch :) We meet in a pink church building and the

members our great. The accent here is a little weird... hahah Some

things I dont even understand!

This week we also had zone conference. We practiced on

inviting someone to be baptized and we also practiced following up. We

have a very small zone.

We have an Investigator that is ELECT!!!!! She has been

investigating the church for about 11 years and the sisters stopped

and talked to her in the street and she is marked to be baptized on

the 13th. She is from Venezuela. She is soo sweet and talks and

laughs alot :)

We went to visit someone that we had contacted in the

street.  When we opened the little gate and went to ring the door

bell three dogs come around the corner and start barking. I

carefully slipped out and my comp came right behind me. But the dog

bit her!!!! It wasnt huge, but it bit her ankle.

But it has been great!! :) Today we went to a castle :)

I have always wanted to go into a casle. :)

Well I hope you all have a wonderful week!!
