Alright 411 updates of missão Portugal, Lisboa
Man oh man... how I´m lovin my Braga!!! I love this city! It´s so clean and it´s more quiet than some of the other areas...
We just had a baptism on Saturday!!! Her name is Amélia and she is wonderful!!!!
She is 69 and is an Arts Professor at a college around here...
Did I mention that I´m serving in a college town area right now??
Since we have a lot more young adults here and youth we do a LOT more activities...
We are doing an English Class for everyone here and also have a Night of Integration and every Saturday morning we get a huge group of pesquisadors and members and have a game of Futebol(soccer)! "Real" Futebol as they say here... not Soccer!
and P.S. I am terrible at Soccer.. everyone is foreign except me and another American Elder Coombs and we are always the last ones to get picked for teams.. haha oh well I´ll learn!
We also received a breakup text from our dear Beth... She is from China and where she is from it is a huge dishonor to leave the religion of the goverment and be christian... so what happened was it took her 3 years to believe in God, after she went to a house every sunday to worship. Then her husband thought it was dangerous so he made her go back to the government religion. Then she got a job to teach english and chinese her in Portugal so now she´s looking for a church to go to! She saw our chapel on Sunday and walked in and we had a first lesson with her and invited her for the baptism of Amelia on Saturday.... She felt good about the first lesson but talked to her family and friends back at home and they told her to not talk to us anymore..... So we called her back and told her to pray some more and that we would LOVE to just have 1 more lesson with her.... so please pray for her!! she is amazing and has incrdible faith! pray for her to receive an answer to her prayers and that she will open her heart more to our message!
Sister Antunes is leaving us tomorrow :( She recieved her Visa and is off to Lisboa for an airplane to Brazil! awe... It´s what we´ve been praying for but part of me doesn´t want her to go!
We had our Zone Conference this last Tuesday and did a little bit of training!! it was too good... learned about Family History and a couple of other things for our investigators! I´ll send a pic of all of us at the conference. Pesident and Sister Fluckiger (flew.key.gurr) are right in the middle
Hokey Pokey.... I love You alll!!! So stinkin much!!!
Love/Com Amor, Sister Baird
