Monday night after pday we went to J-´s and had a family night! It was super fun cuz Sister Shipp and I made no bake cookies with J- and I- and then while they were hardening we had our lesson and we talked about the recipe of showing Heavenly Father we love Him. Then we related the peanut butter to saying our prayers, the sugar to going to church, and the oatmeal to reading the scriptures. Then we talked about how the cookies don't turn out the same if we don't have every one of the ingredients and same with our testimonies:)
Tuesday we had Zone Meeting in Coimbra! Sister Shipp gave the spiritual thought and she did such a great job! Second transfer and she already speaks Portuguese fluently. The Zone Meeting was awesome and talked a lot about the importance of preparation and how we can be better tools in the Lord´s hands when we prepare.
On Thursday Sister Shipp hit three months in the mission!!! So that called for some ice cream. We also met this lady named G-a from the area book and taught her. She was really cute and is just so full of faith. Also, we heard this people yell, "Hey Sisters!!" turned around and this cute young American couple came walking up to us. Turns out the girl served her mission here a few years ago and came back to visit with her husband. They were super cute and were staying at one of the ward members house.
Friday.... Sister Shipp and I accidentally matched dresses... I guess that happens when you live with someone for so long. You just start becoming the same person. It was really funny though we got a lot more weird looks on the street than we normally do. haha. We have an activity coming up in September and the Elders put us in charge of making the invitation and so we did and if I do say so myself it looks pretty good. Also, it was the 25th (#4months until Christmas) so in honor of that Sister Shipp and I sang Christmas songs all day long.
We knocked A LOT of doors that day and found some really cool people that seemed to have some interest and I also saw the biggest spider of my life!!! It literally was the size of my fist... I know that is wimpy compared to the people serving in South America and stuff, but it really was HUGE! hahaha.
Saturday we had a lesson with O-a and we taught with Irmã G-i! The lesson was so great and the spirit was so strong. Ward members really have such a strong testimony and bring the spirit into the lessons and testify and help the investigators in a way that the missionaries can't! We also had a lesson with Irmão J-o and he helped us teach A-a. Irmão J-o served a mission in Canada like 3 years ago and speaks perfect English. He helps a ton in our lessons!
Church was so good this Sunday. And J- and I- were there! In sacrament they talked about how important the BoM is in our religion and how we need it. It got me thinking about how important it really is and could you imagine not having it!? We wouldn't have the full truth! I am so grateful for the restoration and that we have the BoM. I am so grateful for the opportunity I have to be able to share this with these people that don't have the full truth:)
That is all for this week I love you all and hope you have a great week! The mission is awesome and you learn a lot of things about yourself that you didn't know.
Sister Shipp and I found out that we are basically master chefs and we have made a lot of good food this week thanks to Grandma Sampson and sending us yummy Sampson seasoning:)
Tchau for now!
Com amor,
Sister Sampson
