Queridos amigos e família!
Hello everybody! Another week closer to Christmas! It seems like December is just flying by!
This week was a pretty slow week. We tried marking a lot of appointments and almost all fell. We were unable to meet up with our investigators Agosto and Vanda even though we had marked two appointments with them. We talked to them on Saturday nightand they promised us they would come to church the following day and then they didn't show up. We were sad because we both were giving talks this past Sunday and we really wanted them to be there for it. But we are going to meet with them hopefully this Thursday if everything works out.
This week we met a new investigator that doesn't speak Portuguese! His name is sam and he is friends with a girl in the branch. He is Australian and lives here in Portugal with his Grandma. She doesn't speak English and he doesn't speak Portuguese so he likes to talk to us to be able to speak some English together haha. we met up with him in the chapel and taught him the first lesson. he already knew most of it as he had been taught in the past. We we gave him the baptismal commit (soft commit.."when the Lord God answers your prayers about the Book of Mormon, will you follow the example of Jesus Christ by being Baptized by someone who holds the proper priesthood Authority?) He said, "of course I would.. is there really people who say no to that?" We said unfortunately yes.. We really enforced reading and praying and he said he would! He just left for a trip to France and another country and he said he will be back after Christmas and will meet with us again. So we are excited about him. A lot of potential right there.
This week we also hiked to the top of the tallest mtn here. I didn't even think we could make it up there, but we did! The view was amazing. The only problem was after hiking and coming allll the way down the steep trail, i realized i had forgotten my planner clear at the top. So we did it twice. It was so hard lol. But at least we got to see the view during the day and at night :)
Tomorrow we have a mission Christmas conference. We are also having a gift exchange. I get to see all my friends, specifically the ones from the MTC!! Im super stoked for that!
Well hope you all have a great week.
Love you all and always remember the Lord loves you!!
