Ola!





Olá todos! I'm gonna start this weeks email with a baptism story! If any you remember our friend Carlos who lives in London, well last Sunday he was baptized! It was such a great experience watching his baptism through Zoom! Haha I think that's gonna be a normal thing now for missionaries 😉. I was able to give the spiritual thought at this baptism and it was so touching to see how truly happy he was to be baptized. After his baptism he called us and we just talked about how far he has come and how much of a miracle it was that we were able to get in contact with him and teach him through technology! 

This week has been pretty normal, teaching online, staying in the house most of the day, all of the usual. But this Sunday we had our first sacrament meeting in person! I only had 3 here in Portugal - so this was my 4th sacrament meeting in person and I've been out here for 6 months... haha whatever 😅. Our Bishop gave a great talk about hearing and following the Lords voice over all of the other voices in the world. There are so many different beliefs and opinions flying around today and it can be hard to know which are right. Through all of this confusion if we hearken unto the voice of the Lord we will know the truth! I’m so grateful for all of the resources we have to hear Him!

That's all for this week! I love you all so much! 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 ...

  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...
