Update about some of our investigators... S-ra was super busy this week and couldn't meet with us. We were really sad about that, but she still came to church! T-ia was also really busy too and she wasn't able to meet with us either. She also came to church:) And B-z was sick during the week and couldn't meet with us. We were sad about those things, but we still had a great week and found other people that needed us:)
My favorite part of the week was we were walking down the street just talking to everyone and we found this cute lady A-ia. She had two big bags of groceries and so we snatched them from her and walked her home, which was a miracle in itself because people never let us help them with their groceries. haha. She was just so open to talk to us. When we got to her house we asked if we could share a message with her. We taught her the restoration and she just loved it and told us how she has never felt love in her life and that she had had a lot of challenges. We were able to tell her that she has a Father in Heaven that loves her so much and that we too love her. The spirit was so strong.
Right after that we were walking down the street and we saw these two teenage girls. We contacted them and one didn't want to talk to us and left, but the other named A-ra was so excited to talk to us and asked us to walk her home and share a message with her. She is only 15 so we told her that we had to talk to her mom and she was like okay:) We walked her home and her mom told us we could teach her and we invited the mom to join, but she told us that she is too busy. The second her mom said yes the girl was like okay can you teach me your message! I have had so many doubts and I don't know if God exists anymore. We taught her how to pray and we taught her the restoration. She loved every second of it. At the end she prayed to Heavenly Father telling Him that she knows He exists and thanked Him for sending two girls her way to help her. She told us that she smokes. It just broke our hearts and she told us all about how she needs help stopping. The next day we went back with this program to help her stop and she loved it. She is working so hard to stop. She knows how bad it is for her and she hates it. She put all of our pass along cards around her house to remind her to stop:) so cute. Sunday night we were able to pass by again and she was sooo excited to hear the Plan of Salvation. I have never met someone with so much faith and hope and maturity at her age. I feel like I have found my best friend in Portugal. She is darling. When we shared the message with her she was so excited to share it with her family because maybe it will help them and they will have interest in hearing our message too. Anyways, I loved every second of this week and I am so grateful to be here! I love you and know Heavenly Father loves you too:)
com amor,
