"Though he were a
Son, yet learned he obedience by the things which he suffered; And being made
perfect, he became the author of eternal salvation unto all them that obey
him." ~Hebrews 5:8-9
Dear Friends and
Family!
The rain has let up
this week thankfully! It has been a good week and we've finally started to find
some people to teach. We're still working on knowing the members, but it's
going a lot better and this week will be even better! I love the work here and I
love serving with Sister Rubio! She has so many great ideas that we can apply!
We're having a great time together.
Neida: Last week we
found her unloading her car and offered our help, which she accepted
graciously. We returned a couple of days later and taught an incredible lesson
with her! The Spirit was really strong and she was showing such a desire to
have a better relationship with God.
Cedilho: We found him
in the road a couple of days ago and he said he wanted to change his life, he
wants to start a family and raise them in a church. We'll teach him more this
week, he's awesome!
We are still working
on the finding part, but I know the Lord is with us in all we do. I love this
gospel and I love being a part of this marvelous work.
I love you all!!

Dear Family and
Friends,
Well, we did have a
couple of sunny days here, but the rain has most definitely returned! But it's
still great :) We're still in the finding process of things, but it's going
good :)
Neida: She had to
unexpectedly return to Cape Verde for family reasons, so we're hoping that she
gets in contact with the missionaries there and continues to read the Book of
Mormon, she is awesome and I know she'll excpet the gospel one day.
Cedilho: He has been
working a lot and we haven't had a good opportunity to talk to him much this
week, but we'll try more this next week.
Jolly: He is awesome!!
He is from Nigeria and he's here working, he is learning Portuguese, but
basically only speaks English, and Sister Rubio speaks very little English, so
it's interesting teaching him. It's actually really hard to speak in English! You'd
think after I've spent my whole life learning English, it's be easy to speak in
English, but it is super hard! I have to concentrate really hard so I don't
accidentally say Portuguese words. We also have to translate for him during
church, so that's also fun :) But it's good. He grew up in a Christian church
and has such a great desire to follow Christ. He will possibly be travelling to
Spain this week for the next couple of weeks, but we'll see what we can do to
keep contact with him.
I absolutely love
being a missionary, I cannot say that enough, I just love it! :) I am so
grateful for the gospel in my life and for the opportunity I have to share it
with others. I'm so grateful for the Savior and the price He paid so that I can
have eternal happiness. I'm grateful for my family and all my friends. I hope
you all have a fantastic week and you take time to put Christ first always. We
have so many blessing waiting for us when Christ is our priority.
I love you all!!
