First... some weird spiritual stuff was going down at our house for a long time and so we had President and Irma Fluckiger come over and bless our house. That, on top of the fact that our house has a ton of really bad mold all over it made them really concerned so they are looking for a new house and I’m pretty sure we will be moved by the end of the transfer. So because of that, Irma and President Fluckiger left their house key for us at the office while they are traveling this week! As in they offered, and like wanted us to sleep at the mission home. We weren’t even planning on it because our house felt a lot better spiritually that night. But then the Elders from the office called repeatedly to convince us to go, and reminded us that this is super awesome and a once in a mission opportunity, especially since they trust us to stay there when they are gone. So we went and stayed there last night and got some really good sleep on GOOD BEDS AND IN A HOUSE THAT DOESNT SMELL LIKE MOLD. It was wonderful. It felt like a hotel ha-ha.
So while we were on our way back to our area to have a normal p-day, we decided we might as well stop and see the tourist attractions down the street from their house. We went to the Discoverer’s Monument and this really cool Monastery. We even ran into more LDS tourists and one of our investigators who is a painter.
Then, while we were there, the Elders called us and asked where we were. They said, “Okay, we're coming to get you. We’re going to the castle of St. George." (not Utah ha-ha) So we had an AMAZING and completely spur-of-the-moment morning and afternoon with the Elders there. It was so much fun and something we've been wanting to do forever.
Last week was incredible! We had amazing miracles and our investigators are progressing so well. We had an awesome integration activity about the temple. We had stations doing things like toilet paper wedding dresses, a sugar cube temple, drawing what we think the Portugal temple will be like, and learning about family history. There were so many members there and investigators too and it went so well!!
Beta and Fatima are so excited to be baptized and when they came to church on Sunday ALL OF THE MEMBERS SWARMED THEM because of how cute Beta’s baby boy is. The ward LOVES them and they are already like completely integrated. We have a Family Home Evening with them tonight and it’s going to be awesome!
Also, on Sunday we had a brand new investigator walk two hours to come to church and he said that he loved church and we were angels put in his path to help him find this church. THE CHURCH IS TRUE!!!!!!!!!!! SERIOUSLY!
Ahhhh this work is amazing. I love my mission so much!
Honestly I’m coming to the harsh reality that it’s ending REALLY soon. I got what’s called "the trunky call" a few days ago. The office Elders called to ask what airport I will fly home to. I don’t know if you’ve already gotten an email from the mission, but my flight is probably booked already. So weird. I hate it. It makes it really hard to focus. Not in like an I-don’t-care-about-mission-stuff-because-I’m-leaving kind of way but more like I get distracted in the middle of lessons by how much I'll miss this.
Ok I have to write President but I love you all so much!!! Stay safe and happy and close to the Spirit and you will see miracles just like I’m seeing! God loves you!
