Hello Family and Friends!!
This week has been one of the best weeks of my mission!! I absolutely love serving here and my companions are the best!! Sister Marinho arrivedSaturday night and we haven't had a real lesson since then, but Sister Silva is an absolutely incredible teacher and I am learning so much from her! I love serving with these Sisters, we are so focused on the work, but we have a good time doing it, we are constantly laughing! It's the best!
This week we started to teach Nevaldo, he's 17 and has a lot of faith. He accepted the invitation to be baptized when he knows that what we're teaching is true. He is accepting all of our lessons really well and I'm really excited to work with him more :)
We also found an incredible family! Eunice and Paulo, they have two kids, one age 9 and one 3 weeks old. They have a strong testimony that families are most important, so we are hoping to teach them more soon :)
We are still working with Ana and Antonio, they are progressing slowly, but we know that when we work hard, we will be able to teach with the spirit and then it's up to them to decide if they want to be baptized.
The work has been really great, i've felt the spirit more this week than any other since i've been in Portugal. We have seen a lot of small miracles this week, but they have all brought great joy :) I find myself smiling more than ever, and Sister Silva always asks "why are you smiling like that?" And I say "because life is great! We're seeing so many miracles!" and her response is always "Ya! What did you expect! When we work hard, we see miracles, God has promised us this as missionaries."
What a blessing it is to be a missionary here in Portugal! I love you all and I love this gospel. I know that what we're teaching is true! :)
Sister Steagall :)
