Cacém



Olá!! I don't have a lot of time to write, but I'm doing really good and having a lot of fun out here in Portugal! I will still be serving in my same area Queluz for this transfer but I'll be living with the AP's who live in the city right next to mine called Cacém! Since I'm with the AP's now I have the opportunity to see what they do and how they help our mission President and the mission! One cool thing that we did were divisions or "splits". We basically drove all around Lisboa and more down south and met with other elders in those areas and did some ministering! It was such a cool experience and I really learned a lot. I really do feel the happiest when I'm serving others. Also last week was my birthday and we went to the mall and got Taco Bell at the only Taco Bell in Portugal and went shopping! We also snuck in time to go the beach! I thought that was it and then the sweet sisters in my district surprised me with cinnamon rolls and balloons! I love my mission!! Its really cool to recognize that every person God has put in your life are there for a reason! I invite all of you to see people as Christ sees them and realize that they are in your life for a reason! I love you all!! Valeuuuuu 🤙🏼😆

  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...
