SO last week on Monday we had the chance to go to the Monastery with the elders in our district! It was tons of fun and we also went to this american restaurant that had pizza. It was so nice! I miss american pizza!
Tuesday we found this really nice lady named S- and her husband. We shared a message at their doorstep and they told us we could come back... in September... haha they are going on holidays. Everyone and their dog here gets a summer break and they all going on vacations for like 3 weeks... and for everyone it is different and so everyone is leaving. haha. So we will go back in a few weeks. It was super funny cuz we were knocking this apartment building and these little boys started yelling at us and we had to go into stealth mode to get away from them. We probably looked hilarious hugging the apartment building trying not to be seen. haha.
We taught I- and M- again. They love to talk and we almost made it through the whole lesson without them going off about their cats, but it still happened. Haha this time was better than last time. So progress:) they really are so cute though. We invited them to come to church and M- said she wants to still go to the catholic church and I- said maybe next week. So we are working on getting them to church.
Thursday we had a lesson with this lady that we found late last Sunday night! Her name is C- and we taught her all about the restoration! It was such a powerful lesson and the spirit was so strong during it. She is very catholic, but was very willing to listen to us and was very receptive and willing to read the BoM. We have another lesson with her this week and I am excited to see her progress.
Friday we did Listão with one of our members C-. Listão is a way we do member missionary work in our mission. SO we sit down with them and we make the biggest list of people that the member knows. We ask about work, school, facebook, hair cutters, etc. Then we return and with the list they pray and we pick 5 names that the feel need the gospel and then we make plans with them. It is super cool. We had dinner at N- and P- house. Members that feed the missionaries every week and are soo awesome. They both speak english and so they always talk to us in english.
Saturday we had another lesson with O-! She is GREAT! I love her sooo much! She is just the nicest and respects us so much and has so much faith. She is leaving though:( she is going on holidays too. She will be back at the end of August.
Sunday! P- came to church!! She didn't seem like she was progressing as much so we were going to take it a little slower with her and really focus on her needs and then we invited her to church and she was more than happy to come and one of our awesome members S- gave her a ride:) It was great and she couldn't have come to a better fast and testimony meeting. The spirit was so strong there. Every testimony that was born was straight from the heart and testified of the truthfulness of the Gospel of Jesus Christ. I have such a strong testimony of baring testimony. It brings the spirit and that is the way we learn of truth and not only doesn't it strengthen our testimonies, but everyone listening. I love it:)
After church we met a family from america! They live in Pennsylvania and the wife is from Portugal and the dad is from America and so they come back for the summer and they were so cute! Apparently years ago when the mom and husband had just gotten married they lived in Portugal and the missionaries always visited them, but then they stopped coming and she hadn't seen missionaries since. That was in 2005. So she was so excited to see us. We gave them a BoM and the daughter who is 18 was super excited about it, but they are going back to America this week. It was exciting to talk to them.
Well that is all folks:)
LOVE YA!
com amor,
Sister Sampson
