Hello
Friends and Family!
What a week this has
been! Due to some recent chest pain I will be having an endoscopy today, I will
be put to sleep for a while, but I'm expecting everything to be just fine and I
got a priesthood blessing last night, so I know I'll be just fine. I have had
this test done before, except the first time I woke up with a feeding tube in
my nose, so as long as I don't wake up with a feeding tube, I'll be a happy
missionary! Haha I'll be happy either way, I know things will be just fine!
Tuesday: We had a really
great devotional about faith in God. There are people who don't understand that
God is an actual being or that He loves us or that He hears and answers our
prayers.I don't know what I would do without that knowledge and that's why I
can't wait to serve the people of Portugal and share this amazing message.
Wednesday: Every Wednesday
at 6:15 A.M. we get up and do service! I actually really like the mornings
we get to do service. I feel like I'm more awake throughout the day. This
morning they had hardly anything for us to do, so we spend 15 minutes dusting
vents and then we got to go back to our residency! So that was nice! Haha I
also had an almost normal conversation in Portuguese! I'm understanding more
and more every day!
Thursday: The days
here are so long, but the weeks go by really fast! We taught our
"investigator" about God today and he seemed more interested, so that
was great! :)
Friday: The fire alarm
went off during gym today and no one knew if it was real or not! I don't think
it was, because no one was in a real hurry to get out of the building, but it
was still an adventure! We also had TRCs today! (Teaching Resource Center)
members come and volunteer and we teach them more about the gospel in
Portuguese! They're my favorites! We taught two sisters who just got back from
the Portugal Lisbon mission, so that was really awesome!
Saturday: We were able
to teach a lesson today without using any notes! I feel like I'm getting better
and better every day! Language is hard, but it's amazing how fast we're
learning. I love it!
Sunday: Sundays are
awesome! So full of the Spirit! I also got to play the piano for sacrament
meeting and I loved it! I miss music so much.. The Sisters get to watch Music
and the Spoken Word every Sunday and it's the highlight of my week! I
love it! We also had a great devotional about knowing the adversary and what
the Doctrine of Christ is. We also get to watch a movie every Sunday and
this time we watched "Legacy" in honor of my sister, Martha. That's
an old time favorite of ours ;)
Monday: I spent most
of the morning at the Doctor today because of some chest pain, all is well and
I will be having an endoscopy today. I got a blessing so I know all will be
well :) Take advantage of the Priesthood, it is amazing.
That's all for this
week! It's been a really great one! And we hit our halfway mark today! Wow!
Time flies! I love you all!

P.S. Here are pictures
of my district and our Branch President!
there's
some of the elders from my district and the other portugal district sitting on
each other, so the sisters decided to do the same thing.
Then there's a picture
of most of our district minus sister Runyan and Sister Elliott - i don't know
where they were when we took that.. haha
Then there's me and my
companion with Brother Coffman - funniest guy ever! And also some other random
elder we had to have in the picture.
