Monday: I worked with Sister Costa and Sister Shepard. It was super great to be with them. They are awesome missionaries!
Tuesday: Happy Fourth! I was still in Coimbra with the other sisters. We ate KFC for lunch because ya know it was America´s birthday:) Then president gave us this challenge this week to give pass along cards to cars stopped at red lights. IT was quite the adrenaline rush, but we did that during the afternoon. Then we had a lesson with one of their investigators and we had an awesome lesson and marked her for baptism. It is fun working in another area helping the work grow there:)
Wednesday: We went to the training meeting in Porto to pick up our new companions! We had the training meeting until about 4. Then we caught our a three hour bus ride to Leiria and had plenty of time to get to know each other:) We had like a half hour to work once we got to Leiria and so we went and contacted people and she did awesome wasn't even afraid!
Thursday: My favorite part of the day was we went over to this old investigators house. Her name is S- and when we got there she told us about how mad she was at us and with some people. I felt so worried. I didn't know what to tell her and then I remembered that the Lord would help me through the situation and I was just praying so hard in my heart that I would know what to say. Then we asked if she had been reading the BOM and she said no because she was mad at us. So we asked if we could pray and read and she said sure. After we prayed and read Sister Shipp and I bore our testimonies about the BOM and her heart completely changed and she told us that is will read again. I think it is just so awesome how the holy ghost can change someones heart.
Friday: Had an appointment with P-! We talked about Faith, Repentance, baptism, gift of the holy ghost, and enduring to the end. It was awesome. We talked about the importance of church. We invited her to church and invited her to be baptized again. She said that she switched jobs so that she can come to church on Sunday and she told us she wants to be baptized the 22nd. It was a great lesson and it was awesome cuz Sister Shipp got to teach in English:)
Saturday: We worked hard. That is all I remember haha.
Sunday: P- came to church! It was great! Then we were knocking doors and contacting everyone, but no one wanted to listen. Then finally we knocked this door and this lady C- answered and let us teach her. She was so nice and the spirit was so strong there. Sister Shipp and I struggled through our Portuguese, but we were all in tears and I can't even remember what was said, but I knew the Lord was using us to answer her prayers and our prayers and that moment made the whole rest of the day worth it:) Because I know she knew that her Heavenly Father loves her and the Savior is there to help her through the tough times
It was a great week! I love you all! Tchau for now:)
com amor,
Sister Sampson
