We've Been Crazy Busy!

I feel like I haven't talk to you all in forever! It has been busy busy busy and we haven't had a ton of email time! Anyways, this week was AWESOME! But let´s be real. Every week is awesome when you are serving the Lord. 

So last pday we went on this crazy adventure. We got to go to obidios, caldes da rainha, martino do porto, nazare, and praia são pedro do moel! Our little friend the taxi driver took us all around and told us all about the places and took pictures for us. It was a blast! It was like 4 pdays in one!

Then the rest of the week was great! I have seen miracles everyday! We have been finding and teaching lots of people! 

We were able to teach the lady we had a picnic in the backyard with again. We got there and we started to teach her about the Plan of Salvation, but she wouldn't let us talk at all. Haha she kept interrupting us and talking to us about other things. So we got out of there and barely were able to get a word in... So we decided we are going to try her one more time. She told us all about the BOM and what she read and so we left her a chapter that goes along with the Plan of Salvation. So hopefully next time we will be able to talk:)

One of my favorite lessons we taught this week was just at this lady's door. We knocked on her door and asked her if we could share a message with her and she was like, "Why not?" So we had this cool little game that teaches the whole Plan of Salvation and she loved it and kept agreeing with us and told us that she believes the same thing. She was just soaking it all in. Then she told us that her father passed away. We told her all about how he is waiting in the spirit world and that she will be able to see him again! I could just see the light in her eyes get even brighter and I was able to share my testimony of how I love the Plan of Salvation and how I know that because of it I will be able to see my little brother again! I love being able to connect with people and share with them the joy that this gospel brings! 

We also taught J- about tithing and he accepted it! His baptism is the May 20th so we are still working with him and getting him ready!

In church a miracle happened! This family just showed up and told us that the dad is friend with a member and wanted to come. Then we asked the dad if he was a member because he seems to know a lot and he said yeah, but I haven't been baptized yet. hahaha. So we got there info and are going to try to teach them this week!

Anyways, I love it here in Leiria! The members are awesome! The people here have been so prepared by the Lord! I love serving with Sister Foote! Sister Fortunato and Sister Huntsman are awesome too! I love being a missionary! Have a great week! Keep smiling:)

Tchau for now!

Com amor,

Sister Sampson
