Missionary Work is Amazing!

This week just flew! It was a good week though, except for last p-day, which was not too much fun. We had to clean our apartments. ALL DAY. It turned out to be a big test from President Terry, a test set up for us to all fail. And well, long story short, yep everyone failed. We were told to stay and clean, so we did. We cleaned good, very good. (You know me...haha.) I cleaned, my comp not as much, but our place looked so good!

This week I had a pretty cool “understanding of the language” moment in a lesson we taught. We taught a member, Francisca, and we were talking about how we came to find the church is true. And when she told her story I understood like 90 percent of it!! I loved it! I just felt so good! But...well, it’s not always like that, but I think it’s getting better, just VERY slowly.

But I just want all you to know things are going well. The work is slow; it’s Portugal...this isn’t Utah or anywhere in the states for that matter. BUT, missionary work is missionary work and it’s amazing! Hard, but amazing!! The things I have already seen out here are just fantastic. I love our new members that we baptized last week. They are like totally different people and always so happy. I love going over there. It’s always a fun experience with them. I have just seen so much growth in them.

I love you all so much! Thank you so much for all your support. Have a great week. Keep praying and smiling. I love you.

Eu sei que o evangelho é verdadeiro! Eu sento estes coises em minha coraçao cada dia! Sou muito grato por minha familia e por meu muitos amigos. Continuar estudar e orar cada dia ta bem?? Eu amo-vos muito!! Tenha um muito bom semana!
