Olá gente!

We are still in quarantine, still can't work on the streets, and still have no idea when all of this will change! 😂😅 But having faith and a postive attitude makes these difficult times a lot better and easier to handle.

 The work here however has not slowed down one bit! We are still teaching our friend Camila who accepted the invitation to be baptized! However she is 17 and her parents won't allow her to be baptized until she is 18, so we are doing everything we can to help her stay committed! I havent been able to contact our friend Artur for a little bit, but hopefully that will change soon cause he was making so much progress before! 

One cool thing my comp and I have been doing recently is doing scripture study with members! Almost every night we will have scripture study with a few members and some investigators! Doing this has helped the members and the investigators learn more about the scriptures! Everytime we read my love and testimony for the scriptures grows. It's cool to hear everyones thoughts and insights as we read together. One scripture we read the other day was Alma 38:5. It reads, "And now my son, Shiblon, I would that ye should remember, that as much as ye shall put your trust in God even so much ye shall be delivered out of your trials, and your troubles, and your afflictions, and ye shall be lifted up at the last day." I love this scripture because I have experienced in my life before that if we put our trust in God, He will take care of us and deliver us out of our trials. Way's we can put our trust in God are by keeping his commandments and doing the simple things like, daily prayer, and scripture study. Through these simple tasks we can strengthen our faith and trust in God and He will bless us with what we need ❤.

I hope everyone is safe and happy where ever you are! Até logo! Tchau!

  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 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

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
