Bom Dia!

Bom dia! This week has been crazy, but fun! The week started out great by going to Belém and just hanging out in the sun and enjoying beautiful Lisboa! Also that night we played soccer with some less active members and some members in the ward! It was super fun! We have two boys in our ward who are named David and Gabriel. They are 16 and 18 and they are the coolest. We all like the same music and soccer teams and it feels like we have been friends for years! They have been a little inactive in the past, but now they have been coming to chruch more and they are blessing the sacrament and helping out the ward! Also we started teaching 2 new friends named Fabrico and Lucas! They are friends of Luany our close friend in the ward  who was recently baptized! They are super intrested and ask a lot of good questions! Also, my Portuguese is getting a lot better! I had a full on conversation with them and I didn't realize that they understood me and I understood them until 5 minutes after lolll 😂. Just like the boys in my ward, I feel the same way with Fabrico and Lucas! Just meeting and serving people like these boys help grow my faith in Chris because I know He wants me to be with these people right now and he has been preparing them for me! Right after all of this fun and good work, the Corona virus decided to rain on our parade 😒. There are like 142 cases in Portugal and now they wont let us leave our apartments and we have to teach thru Facebook. Also my trainer is going home early because it’s his last transfer and they are sending missionaries who are almost done home. I'm pretty bummed because we get along great and I have been learning so much from him. He makes missionary work so chill and fun and we still get a lot done! Also, he has turned me into a Brasíleiro! I love funk, and samba music now and their food (I am still Argentine till I die tho hehe) He is also an amazing cook! But during these hard times I am trying to find the blessing in all of this! I know that the Lord will help me and all of us get through this! I will keep you guys updated on how teaching online will go! Hope everyone is tranqüilo and remember to wash your hands!! Valeu 🙃😆🤙🏼

  Olá Meus Queridos!! I don't know when was the last time I've written to all of you 😅. If any of you still read these posts I just wanna say thanks for being patient with me!  A lot has changed recently in our mission... We received a new mission President and his family. A bunch of new missionaries from the states are starting to arrive. I have served most of my mission close to Lisbon and in the central part of Portugal. But this last transfer I was sent all the way up to the northern part of the country in a little town outside of Porto called São João da Maderia. It's such a cool little area with a lot of trees and a good view of the ocean. The northern part of Portugal is completely different from the central and southern part. The people are very hard to talk to and the culture is different. I was a little nervous when I got here, but I was excited to see what this new area and zone had to offer!  This last transfer I had a very special experience with one of our in

Week 5

Ola todos!! I have been in the MTC for 5 weeks now! Like I said before, the time keeps on flying by super fast! This week was really good besides me having a cold lol, but I’m starting to feel better! We didn't have any new missionaries come into our zone this week, so that meant my comp and I had more TRC'S!! We have been teaching this girl named Mele and I have loved being able to teach her with my comp! She is super nice and speaks very fast BRAZILLIAN PORTUGUESE!! It's so hard to understand her lol because she pronounces everything differently than we do because we speak Continental Portuguese. I can understand half of what she says, but it still works out pretty good and she understands what we are trying to teach. We have been teaching her how important baptism is and having faith in God and how making and keeping covenants with him will bless us. We will always have the gift of the Holy Ghost if we endure to the end! The MTC is such a cool and fun place and I'm

Week 6!!!

Ola!! Hope everyone is doing well! Today is my last day at the MTC and I’m soooo ready to get out and serve! To be completely honest, I did not think I would have such a good experience here at the MTC, but I'm so glad that I did! I owe it all to my Heavenly Father for putting such amazing people in my life. I have truly learned so much from everyone here at the MTC and I hope I can have the same effect on the people that I will meet in Portugal! On our last day of class with my teacher Irmao Haycock we did this really cool activity for our last day. We went to the S1 building in the MTC and in that building there is this long hallway with paintings of Christ all over the wall. Our teacher told us to walk down the hall and look at each painting of Christ and try to feel the spirit and see what each painting means to us, and once we got done looking at all of them, we would walk back down the hall and show each other which painting was our favorite and what it meant to us. This acti
