Olá gente!

I have big news!!

I'm being white washed, in my new area!

So a few days a go we found out we will be leaving our beloved Linda-a-Velha! We found out yesterday that we will be separated, my companion and I! My new colega is Sister Dudley, but I'm sure she is great! I will just be serving across the river from where i am at now! But we will both be new to the area! sooo crazy stuff... Linda velha will also be getting elders and white washed!

We found a great family this week who are all super sweet!

We had a great Lesson with our friend Noberto last night.. he wants to get baptized and has so much faith! His story is amazing, we just found him on the road and was like sure i'll go to church and was like a i love the missionaries oh i OK i'll read the book of Mormon... so elect! He just doesn't feel prepared so we tried to tell him he doesn't need to be perfect... but i think he needs the elders(: It was a way sweet lesson, and he hasn't prayed in front of us but he gave the last prayer! and he started crying during it, seriously such a beautiful experience. The spirit was so strong. I told him next time i see him he will be baptized(: and he was like of course... he kept saying how happy he is after we talk to him, and the joy the church brings! It is amazing to see these people change(: This is the greatest work! I love each day. I feel so blessed to be here in Portugal even when EVERYONE rejects us(: It is amazing!

I love you all!
