Pretty
awesome week, if I do say so myself. Or as my friends Harry, from Cross
country, or Temaʻu say "pretty dang nitto burito if you know what I
mean" haha.
Élder Kim and Élder Warren |
We
had a division with the Élderes of Tomar. I went with Élder Warren. Élder Warren
was actually my district leader my first transfer in Coimbra 1, and is ending
his mission here in 2 weeks. We had a great division! We were knocking
this apartment building, and I had the impression to go check the 8th floor of
the building, seeing as the elevator only goes to the 7th. I was like
"ah, watever, doesnt hurt to be thorough", and we found a man and a woman open
to hear the gospel! Was awesome! Was just a lesson to both of us that we always
gotta do everything that we can, the best that we can, so that God can use us
as His tools for the salvation of His children.
Looking out at Gaia |
We
went to Porto this week for the council of leaders. We had to go up the night
before, because we live so far out, and we got to stay in Gaia!!! It was like I
never left! Running into old investigators, less actives, saving lost sisters,
was too funny! Also, talking to Élder Karthigeyan was nice. He's the man. The
meeting itself was an adventure in and of itself, seeing as we had to change
chapels not to long before the meeting, because the first chapel was being
painted! Thankfully it all got settled and we were able to have a great
meeting! I really thought about the importance of being a good example, and the
importance of being thorough in following up, not just with investigators but
with missionaries as well, and magnifying our callings. I'm grateful for
Presidente Amorim, and his counsels, and for all the guidance he gives us to
help us be the best that we can.
That
family we helped move house last week came to church!!!! Miguel, his wife, and
three kids!!! Soooooo happy!!!! They are honestly soooo cool, and I'm so
grateful for the great opportunity we have to help them get to know the
blessings of the gospel!
The
Paraguayan family has been having some family complications in Spain and stuff,
but we should be meeting up with them today!
In the truck on the BRUTAL moving day |
We
helped another investigator family move this past Saturday and was
brutal! Was basically just me and Élder Maloy...was pretty nuts. It took us
like ALL DAY!!! Two full truck loads of stuff! And of course, she lives on the
7th floor! Luckily for us, most of the stuff we could use the elevator, but for
like some of the big stuff...we had to carry it up the stairs.... 7 FLOORS UP!
All that to say, Élder Maloy is a machine and it all worked out, hahaha.
Also
in the middle of the move, I got my trunky call! Trunky call is the call where
they basically reaffirm the information for me to fly
home.....#signsofthetimes.....Sooooo weird....Well just gotta keep losing
myself in the work so I can forget about that! haha
Anyways
I think that's about it fam. I love you guys! Hope everything is going good!
Dad keep taking care of mom! Mom força on your last class! Jonah keep studying
hard! Sam, Seta, and Haili, love each other and do your guys best to help mom
and dad out! I love you guys fam! So grateful for all your love, support and
prayers! I know that God loves us, that we are His children and the He really
does answer our prayers! We just gotta, well, PRAY!!!! Have a great week
everyone!

amor,
