We had another great week this week here in the beautiful Leiria. We worked a ton with listão this week to get it all up to date. We have an activity coming up so we were working and visiting a lot of our members to have them invite people to our activity.
We had a crazy day running from appointment to appointment. Those are my favorite days! We had one appointment with L-s. We watched with her the movie of the restoration and talked about the role of Joseph Smith.
Then we ran to an appointment with G-a and G-ba! We did this fun little game with them and talked about how important reading the scriptures, saying your prayers, and going to church are in our everyday lives and make a huge difference. Then we got out and we ran to a lesson with M-e in the chapel (which is about a 50 minute walk). We got there in like 15 minutes. We were pretty impressed with our speediness. The lesson was good with M-e, but she was pretty sad that night and so when we were walking home we taught her our grateful game where we each take turns saying something we are grateful for. She liked it and thought Sister Shipp and I are pretty funny:)
Later in the week we contacted a reference from the elders. J-a and she is a hoot!! We taught her and her brother, F-o, and they are the cutest! They are both pretty old and live together. J-a´s husband has passed away and I don't know if F-o ever got married. They loved our message and us ;), ha ha.
Sunday we had to be out in front of the soccer stadium by our apartment at 7:15 am because this bus came to pick up us and all the ward members and off to stake conference we went! It was a 2 1/2 hour bus ride, but so worth it! We had our stake conference in Viseu and was all about faith. President Amorim spoke about the 4 things that can stop our faith from developing:
1-Fear of trying, we dont know if we dont try
2-Pride, put your pride to the side and make room for Christ
3-Laziness, today is the day of our repentance
4-Putting our priorities in the wrong order, If we put the Kingdom of God in highest priority, everything else in life will fall into place
His talk was awesome, but really the best part of it for me was seeing the faithful members of our ward sacrifice a two and a half hour bus ride to go to stake conference and I know that was a true act of faith:)
Well family and friends I love you all and I hope you have a great week!
com amor,
Sister Sampson
