semana muita fixe:)

This is her new thing, she just takes a pic of her journal to send to us

this way she doesn't have to write an email

This is what happens when you send Robin Bird Eggs

Herbal tea to help her get better

I really like seeing her with this suitcase;)

They have had lots of rain there in Portugal

Singing in Sacrament

Hey my email this week will be short and sweet, but this week was great! We taught M-a with President Silva (first counselor to our mission president) and his wife because they are awesome and live in our ward. We taught her the Gospel of Jesus Christ and talked more about baptism. She still hasn't excepted a date. It will happen though:) Then we were invited to sing in church on Sunday because our relief society did a presentation during sacrament meeting and Sister Pastana and I didn't want to sing by ourselves so we invited M-a to sing with us. And she did! When we were practicing with her she showed us that every night she has been listening to a talk from general conference (she didn't even know what that was or who the people were, but she loved it). So we explained everything to her. It was super cool to have her participate with us in sacrament meeting and she loved being apart!:) Anyway, I love you all! 

When I was studying about faith this week. I read something in Preach my Gospel that I really liked. It talked about how our Faith in Jesus Christ has power to change the desires of our hearts and cure our hearts. That is so true. Faith in Jesus Christ has so much power and it is the first step that we need to take everyday to stay on the path back to our Heavenly Father:) 

HAVE A GREAT WEEK!!!

MY LAST TRANSFER!!!

I can't BELIEVE I just started my last transfer and that it is only five weeks! It is going to be so great. I just love the mission.  I will be in Porto on the 16th so after today I will only have 4 more emails!!!!  Weird!

So this transfer I will be staying in Coimbra with Sister Pastana, my one and only favorite Brazilian companion! She is great. And unfortunately Sister Scott is leaving us for Castelo Branco, but it is okay because Castelo Branco is in our zone so she will do divisions with us! yay! 

This week was CRAZY!! We hardly got to work in our area! Monday we had an appointment with this lady named Candida and it went super well. When we were getting on the bus to go we saw a senior couple! They had just arrived in our mission three days before and happened to be visiting someone from their area that was in the hospital in Coimbra. They are from Brasil, but had been living in Utah. They are the best!  

On Tuesday we tried a few potential people we had been working with, then we ate lunch and then had to leave for Porto. Sister Pastana and I stayed with Sister Huntsman. I love that Sister!  We were there for a leadership conference. It was really good. We talked a lot about the Book of Mormon and how powerful it is. Sister Pastana shared this story about her gma and how she couldn't read, but the missionaries invited her to read the Book of Mormon and promised her that if she tried to read it she would learn how to read. Through the power of this great book she learned how to read and was baptized!  Then it was back to Coimbra late Wednesday night. 

Thursday we had to plan our Zone Meeting with the Zone Leaders and then that night we had dinner with one of our members Maria de Lurdes:) 

Friday was our Zone Meeting and it went really well. After, we had divisions with the sisters from Castelo Branco! I GOT TO BE WITH SISTER SHIPP. It was sooo fun to work together again. We knocked doors in the rain and found lots of people! It was a great night! I miss working with her.  She is such a great missionary.

Then Saturday it was Luna´s baptism and I got to go! It was so great to be with her again and see her get baptized:)  Anyways, this week was crazy and passed so fast, but I loved every second of it. 

I hope that you have a great week. I love you all.
