Santarém 8/21/17

*Note from the parents: Elder Kim did not write an email this week. However, he did send multiple pictures and a video, and provided some info regarding them. We have added this info as he typed it, if any. Info added by parents will have a *. He apologizes for not being able to write. This past week was his first in his new area, Santarém! Video link at the very end.

We had a competition on who could get the most refs using this one quetionary we had made. we ended up getting the same amount of refs, but seeing as elder maloy got one more adress than me, he won haha. Cant win um all i guess haha. pumpiro was what the loser had to buy for the dupla. Was ono

some pics of santarém. santarém is actually rather involved in agriculture. a lot of people work out in the fields, which is crazy, cuz the temp soars out there. props to those guys. I took the pic cuz i thought it was funny that where the plants was, was so green, while everything around it is dead haha #kona haha

*Elder Maloy, Elder Kimʻs new companion

we live on a big hill, but the chapel is at the bottom of the hill. so when we walk down to the chapel we get a good view of the chapel. It is hands down the nices chapel ive seen here in portugal, ever. It might be the nicest chapel ive ever seen. i really like it. just the location is....sigh...far. (*35-40 min walk) cant win um all
