Ola emu amigos!



Olá meu amigos! I have been in quarantine for almost a month now. but it feels like forever! I am now in a trio with my trainer and Elder Stoor who was in Amadora the city next to ours. We are still in Que Luz and we somehow all fit in our tiny apartment haha. We have been doing lessons through Whatsapp and it's great to see how happy it makes these people who are in quarantine like us and how you can still feel the spirit! General conference was really cool. Elder Stoor and I watched it in English together and we did this thing where we would write down three questions we had. During confrence we would listen to find answers and advice about the questions we had. It was a cool expierence! During confrence my testimony for the Prophet and the Apostles grew so much. I could feel and see how much they love the people in this world and they really are called and ordained from God! Having this oppurtunity to hear them and other people speak was such a blessing! These times are hard, but I know that if we make Christ the center of our lives and follow His teachings, we will be happy even in hard times. I pray for you all and hope everyone is doing good. Valeu! 😁❤ 

PS: These photos are from our run on Pday. We are allowed to excersise for an hour a day! Que bênção! 😁😆

  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 ...

  Olá meus queridos!! I dont think I've given you guys an update for like 2 transfers now haha 😅. But anyways, everything is going great here in my "new" area Montijo!  When I first got here, the country of Portugal went back into lockdown and we couldn't go out or do anything. So, that transfer was pretty interesting. We just stayed inside and tried to do as much work as we could. The only cool thing about that transfer was that I got to serve with Elder Koyle who was in the MTC with me, so that was rad.  But now I'm in the 3rd week of this new transfer and it's been nothing but a blessing! Elder Koyle got transferred and I expected to just recive a normal new comp, but I got something better... A FILHO!! (A son). So this is my first time training a new missionary!  I was so stoked when I got the news that I was gonna train! The new missionaries where expected to arrive in Portugal at the beginning of the first week of this transfer, but all of their travel ...

  Olá!!!! Sorry for not writing for a while!! This last transfer flew by! I'm still serving in my new area, Abrantes and we are still covering two other areas (Castelo Branco and Tomar).  I absolutely love this area and the people in it! It's really cool having two other areas because we are able to work with so many amazing people! All of our branch presidents are amazing and they help out so much! One is from Idaho and he lives here with is family. I never thought I would have an American branch president on my mission 😂.  I've witnessed a lot of miracles since being here. When I first arrived here my companion (Elder Jorgensen) and I established some goals to help our areas grow and become unified. The first two weeks we were focused on really getting to know the members in our areas. We went to a ward picnic, called everyone in our ward directory and did everything we could to build a better relationship with them. I saw how the Lord directed us to certain members wh...
