Howard, Keaton

Olá a todos! Tudo bem? This last week was a crazy one. We had transfers, so we got to help with a lot of that. Lots of trips to the airport, bus stations, and we got to film a lot of stuff. It's always super fun to be able to film all the new missionaries and see their excitement. But this last transfer was different than the last one for me. I also got to help film all the departing missionaries. It was actually pretty sad. We lost some good ones. There was a lot of contrast between the greenies and dying ones. We did get to eat two huge dinners at the mission home this week, though which was really awesome. Here in the office, we got two new missionaries. Both of them are awesome, so it will be a good transfer. They're being trained to do housing and transport stuff. It'll be good since we had one elder doing both of those jobs at the same time. We also had stake conference this last sunday, which was really good. I got to see a bunch of members from my last branch, which...

Olá everyone! Sorry I haven't written for a while. We had a weird p-day schedule the past two weeks. Not too much happened, but we did have a few really fun days. For p-day on Wednesday, we went as a district to the temple. Unfortunately because of some crazy traffic, we missed our session just barely. We did get to go and do a lot of baptisms at least, which was awesome. We also went to Cristo Rei together, which was really fun. On Thursday, we got to drive back up to Coimbra to film a few videos. We left in the morning and drove two hours to get there. Then we picked up the elders there and left to a nearby small town called Lousã to film our first video. For this one, we went into a forest and filmed a video about running. This is actually with my MTC companion, Elder Spencer, who is a really good runner. So it was an absolute blast to run around an old European forest with a camera. We found some really cool old buildings and stuff.  Later that day, we filmed two music videos w...

Olá a gente! Hope you all are doing well. Everything is going great here in Portugal. We finished up all the zone conferences last week which was fun. Got to see even more friends again. We went down south to Setúbal for the first zone conference, and then we finished with our own conference here in Lisbon, which was really good. We learned a lot about how we can stay more connected to the Holy Ghost. Lost of good stuff. We also got to go out one morning and do some whiteboard finding, where we have a question on a board that anyone can come and answer. We also strike up as many conversations as we can. It didn't work out super well, but it was still really fun, and there were some great conversations.  We are also working on getting Facebook lives up and running for our mission page. So we went to my old area, Lapa, to go and get and test a few audio things. So that was awesome to go back and see . Afterward, we went and got some Pastéis de Nata. We had to park in a parking g...
