I'm back baby!


Transfers came around once again... And I am going to back to Barreiro! I closed it, and now I get to open it back up again! Technically it's a whitewash, but I was there like 6 weeks ago, so... But, I am so excited! I will be serving with a Sister Stalder. She actually slept at our apartment once this transfer before leadership counsel, so I have already met her! She is super cute. This will be her third transfer so I will be doing what's called a "greenie break." should be fun! I am so excited to see the members again and get back in touch with all my friends there who we were teaching, and I am excited to find many more! It will be an adventure, every transfer is, and I like it that way.
This week was full of service projects and exchanges, and I don't really have a specific cool story to share about this week. Sorry. But even though maybe we didn't experience some great or grande miracle this week, we definitely saw the Lords hand in our lives. Sometimes the greatest miracles as missionaries are the personal experiences we have with Christ and the way they strengthen us. We worked hard and did all we could, and the wonderful thing about that is that even though we may not have taught a ton or seen any grande miracles, we know that this week we were successful as missionaries and our faith has grown. How merciful God is! How perfect is His plan!
Sorry, it's a short email this week. We are touring Sintra today! Sintra is a mountain outside of lisbon where there are a ton of really beautiful old castles, right now we are waiting in line to go inside of one! But we will probably be spending a lot of today running around this mountain and then packing. Just know that I love you all and am grateful for your love and support. I know that this gospel is true. I know that trials are given to us to help us grow, if we let them!!

I don't have a lot of time today, we had an awesome pday! So this email might be a bit shorter! Sorry!   Tuesday - we had district counsil of course and then we did our studies. We had an appointment but she canceled so we decided to finish up the last session of general conference! It was so so so good! I loved President Nelson's talk! I now have a goal to memorise the full version of the first vision. I have the missionary part done, just need to do the rest! Then we spent the rest of the day finding. It was one of those days where you knock a ton of doors and they aren't there or don't want anything and you contact people and they ignore you. But we did our part!   Wednesday - We did Divisions in Gaia! We went over there and we got off at the wrong metro stop without knowing and they "weren't there yet" so we bought some cool jewelry from one of those pop up places in tourist spots and took some pics, then they called us and asked wher...

Blitz it

Sorry I didn't send an email last week! We had a crazy pday! We were up early and went to a beautiful place called sete cidades with the sister APs (they flew in Sunday night) then later we got ice cream with President (who flew in on Monday) and that was the end of pday! That night we had 8 sisters in our area! Mega blitz! I went on a division with one of our stls Sister Prado. She is from Ecuador and has the cutest accent when she speaks português! We go home together so it was fun to serve with her for a little bit. The next day we had conference for the island missionaries! I was glad it was separate because the island is truly different than any of the other areas I served in on the continent. After conference I got to go on a division with one of our sister APs Sister Nilson! I love her! She reminds me of Lizzie a lot. Really fun, hard working, faithful, sporty, and beautiful. We did good work together. Then on Wednesday I went out with the other sister AP Sister Ho...

The final countdown

Starting an email is the hardest part, and no matter how many I have written, they never get any easier. So I guess I'll just jump right in!   Last Monday we had a fun chill pday. We took a bus over to Ribeira grande and ate pizza and went to the beach with the elders. The waves were ENORMOUS! I had dreams about tsunamis that night. Lol.   Tuesday we had the last district counsel of the transfer. We knew elder Miranda was leaving the island after his 4 transfers, so we had a big breakfast all together with French toast bread pudding, juice, and cornbread. Kinda a weird breakfast, but it was yummy! We have had a good time together, and we will miss Elder Miranda, our fearless leader. But Élder Pullan will take his place as our fearless leader this transfer so all is well. And Elder Miranda is off to fearlessly lead a zone. So proud of them!   Later this week we went to visit a less active family and it turns out that the Carters had visited only an ho...
