This week has been really great as always! I really love serving here in Portimão! The members are fantastic and they are super willing to help out with the missionary work when they can. We worked really hard this week to try to find more people to teach. We have been working in Parchal the past couple of weeks, and we have been seeing a lot of success there.
Fred: His fiancé and daughter arrived from England this week and we got to meet them, they are incredible! They have plans to get married this week or next and then return to England. We are hoping that we can baptize him before he goes back to England, but it will be whatever the Lord has in store for him. I'm really excited to be teaching him!
Americo and Mauna: Unfortunately we have decided to stop teaching them for a while because they don't want to get married yet. So we'll pass by when we're in the area and we can always invite them to church still. They are a wonderful family and I hope they can be baptized one day.
Rui: He was our great miracle this week! Last night we were waiting in the chapel for our appointment to show up when Rui walked in asking if we had bible classes here! We told him about church on sunday and we invited him to sit and talk with us. He asked how our church was started, so we taught him about the restoration and invited him to be baptized when he feels that these things are true, and he accepted the invitation! When he left our little meeting, you could just see the light in his eyes, like he had finally found something he had been searching for. That is why I love being a missionary. I love seeing the light in people's eyes when they've finally found the truth.
I know this church is true, this is the restored gospel of Jesus Christ. I am so grateful every day to be able to share this message with the people of Portugal. Thank you so much for all your prayers, love, and support! I love you all!
