Hot Pockets

Hey everyone!


Nothing too crazy happened this last week, so apologies for the super short email. Lots of the good ol' missionary work. Lots of finding on the streets, phone calls, and we taught a lot of lessons. One of our friends, Ernesto, is progressing well. He is from Guinea-Bissau, and he's really cool. It'll be fun to see where he goes! We have another friend from Guinea-Bissau as well, named Baluaberto, and he is also really receptive and interested in the gospel, so I'll have to start giving updates on them.


Today for p-day, we walked around Caldas. We ate at this little cafe, and they have these things that are basically glorified hot pockets, and about 4 times the size. They were super good. Caldas also has a farmers market thing going on, so we got to walk around and see lots of the stuff people had to sell. There's also a tiny "freak alley" where there are huge murals and street art, so that was fun to walk around in.


Tchau!

The Office

Olá todos!! Hope you all had a great week. This last Friday was transfers, and with 4 whole transfers, or 6 months in Lapa, it was almost a 100% guarantee that I would be leaving. And if you couldn't guess from the spoiler in the title, I have been transfered to the mission office doing social media/technology! It's awesome because we basically make all the videos and content for the whole mission, and I love this stuff so it will be a great time here. We also get to travel all around Portugal, so I will have a chance to see the whole country.  Anyways, my last week in Lapa was awesome. We had one last district council, which was awesome. I made garlic knots for the district, and then we also went and ate burritos. Burritos are always one of the best parts of the week. We also had a few last meals with members, which were all awesome. I'll definitely miss all of them. I also spent a but of time packing all my stuff, which was not super fun, but on the bright side, the offic...

Olá gente! This last week was a good one. We were able to put two of our friends on date for baptism! They're awesome, and we love teaching them.  Last week, we found a new friend from the Congo. At first, she just wanted to do a Bible study with us in Portuguese, because she wants to learn portuguese. Then after a bit, she started asking questions about missionaries, the church, and other things. She spoke English with us, but she's a native French speaker. So her Bible was French, which she read with us, but she somehow had a Spanish Book of Mormon. So we spoke English, read Spanish and French scriptures, and spoke some Portuguese. It was a very fun and interesting lesson. On Saturday, we were able to have a branch Christmas dinner. It turned out great, and we all had a great time. There was a ton of chicken left over, so us elders had leftovers for almost a week. Spiritual thought: Luke 2:10-12 And the angel said unto them, Fear not: for, behold, I bring you good tidings of...
