Transfers!! Sister Bakker and I will both be staying in Portimão for one more transfer!! Wahoo!! I am really excited to be staying because we have an awesome teaching pool, our members are getting stronger and stronger and our investigators are super elect!!
We are teaching an awesome couple, Antonio and Ana. They are so excited about the gospel!! They've been to church three times now and they always have so many questions! It rocks! Yesterday, they said they wouldn't be able to make it to church, but right before the sacrament started, they walked into the chapel! Sister Bakker and I were shocked!!! Ana said she woke up and knew she needed to go to church, so they moved their schedule around and were able to make it to sacrament meeting! Everything we've taught them, they've absolutely loved hearing about! They also already have their sites set on the temple to be sealed for time and all eternity. I am so excited for them!!
We had appointments to teach Mathew this week in the Chapel, but he didn't show up to any of them. He also didn't show up to church and we have no way to contact him because he doesn't have a house and doesn't have a phone.. So he is currently MIA and we have no idea if we'll see him again! Haha we have faith that in the Lord's time, he will be baptized, just not this weekend. I know he has a testimony and believes that this church is the true church, so he'll come back. I'm not too worried.
We've also been working with a few less actives. Ana and Rosa (mother and daughter) they love the Sister Missionaries!! Haha we enjoy visiting them and hope they will come back to church soon. We also have Maria Nobrega who has a great family, but has to work a lot. We hope that by our reaching out to her and our love for her that she will also be able to come back to church.
That's about it for this week! The work just keeps getting better and better. I know that this gospel was restored on the earth. I know that Jesus Christ is our Savior and our Redeemer. I know that we are His hands. I love being a missionary and I love seeing the light in people's eyes as they realized that this is the true church.
I love you all!!! Até próxima! Ficam bem!! :)
