6 Months






Olá meus queridos!! These past two weeks have been so busy, but so much fun! My comps and I had the opportunity to participate in each zone conference in our mission!

 We traveled to each zone in our mission, so basically the whole country of Portugal!! It was such a cool experience to do this! I was able to see how beautiful this country is and I met all of the missionaries in our mission! I was able to help with the training that my comps did at zone conference because they are the president assistants. Our training was on how we can use Facebook and social media effectively to find new people to teach! We created a whole presentation to show how we can do this! It's been really cool to see how creative missionary work is getting! There isn't only one way to do the Lords work. We all have our unique talents and skills that can help other people come unto Christ! 

Last Wednesday I hit my 6 months in my mission! I really feel like I have grown and learned so much these past 6 months. I've seen how God has put people and opportunities in my life to learn and grow to become more like Him. Each companion I have had so far has been such a wonderful experience to learn and serve with. They give me knowledge and guidance that will help me through out my mission and life. I can truly call each companion that I’ve had my true friends. Also the experiences that God has placed in these past 6 months have been life changing for me. I've learned how to adapt to challenging situations, trust in God and my self more, help lead other people, and enjoy what life has to offer. I'm excited for what these next 18 months have instore for me! 

Thank you all again for your love and support for me serving a mission! I've never once felt alone out here cause I know I have my Heavenly Father and all of my loved ones cheering me on, on both sides of the veil ❤! 
Amo vocês muito, tchauzino!!

  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 ...

Update!!!

  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...
