Last Week in Portugal

New Area, Different Challenges

Caldas da Rainha hahah is different hah. Its probably the most

challenging area I have served in. The people are different. Everyone

has the same job which is picking fruit. They are very poor and they believe in

energy, not God.  We only had one

investigator at the start and no one would listen to us on the street,

so we started door knocking (still my favorite thing to do:) ). We

have found some really cool people.

People are Wonderful Everywhere

We found Sandra and her cute family. She is pregnant with twins and

 has so much faith in God and a wonderful family!! We were able to

mark her and her daughter for baptism for the 13th of September. We

just need to help her and her husband get married.

Also this week we found Lita. She is from Brazil and is amazing, I 

lover her!! :) I am really excited to start teaching her.

More Ward Activities

We are in a tiny branch and we had a great pancake party! :)

We have a senior sister and elder Sommers in our branch...

 ohhh i love them!! :) The pancake party went great

we had a member bring three friends it was wonderful!! :)

We also had interviews with president Fluckiger. mine was really short

because he was behind and I will be having one with him next week. :)

For pday we went to a gypsy fair... haha it was like a farmers market

but gypsys were running it. It was great. We also ate at this

really cool sushi restaurant  that was all you can eat and it come on a

conveyer belt and it was so fun :)

Last Week in Portugal

I cant believe that this my last week on the mission and that I will

see all of you next week. hah I feel like it was literately yesterday

that I arrived in Portugal and I had no idea what I was doing and I didnt speak a

word of Portuguese! Ahh I cant believe I am coming home! :) I have

mixed feelings.I am really excited to see all of you but I will

definatly miss being a missionary! I feel like the girl on the movie Tangled, one day I am soooo excited to come home and then the next moment I am nervious then I am

excited then I am sad hahah its crazy!! I cant believe it!

I  am going to take advantage of this last week and try and see all
