Mom´s questions:
we will be in Porto on my birthday. We leave tonight and will be staying with the sisters in Porto tonight and then Sister Foote has leadership meeting and I will be on divisions with some other sister who's companion is a sister training leader too. So I will be in Porto and teaching people there! The members here are awesome, but a lot of them live far away. We haven't really taught with any of them we need to repent on that, but the ward mission leader is so awesome and on top of it and always makes sure our investigators have rides to church. We have this one family that I just love! They invite us over every other Sunday for dinner and will sacrifice anything to help the missionaries.
This week was a good one:) ha ha, I think I say that every week. It did have a rough start though. People were just not that nice this week. Two times Sister Foote and I were in two lessons this week and the person just started yelling at us. I don't know why, but it was awesome to see Sister Foote just sit there calmly. I mean even if I wanted to I couldn't even say mean things in Portuguese and Sister Foote just sat there and took it all and then replied so nicely. It was really neat to see the self control.
Then we just kept working and working and we saw so many miracles! Sunday was the day of miracles. We were knocking this apartment complex and we found this awesome family. The mom just let us right in. They had just moved from Mozambique because their little boy has heart problems and needs better medical. He is just the happiest cutest little boy though. We taught the lesson and then she talked about how she made her kids watch the video of Jesus on the cross. She asked them, "who did you watch a video of today?" and they (little African girl and little African boy) both replied, "Jesus." Then she asked them what they learned and they said, "To not treat others rude because the mean people were hurting Jesus and we shouldn't treat anyone like that." It was the cutest thing in the world. They are such a great family! I am so excited to go back and teach them! After that we found tons more people and everyone was just so nice! So the lesson I learned this week is that rainbows always come after rain. If we just keep pushing on through the hard times there is always light at the end of the tunnel and the Savior is always by our side:)
We also taught T- a ton this week! She is doing awesome! She has already read to Alma and pretty much teaches us about the Book of Mormon. She keeps having lessons with us and her friend and helps him understand our lessons. She just has a huge trial of faith because if she gets baptized she will have to quit her job and it is super complicated. So we are praying and praying and teaching her still:)
I LOVE IT HERE:) I love you all! Keep smiling and don't forget to say your prayers
com amor,
