Transferencias!



 Olá meus queridos! I have some sad but sweet news for you all! I will be leaving my FIRST and beloved areas QueLuz and Cacém!! 😪😇 But I'm so excited for my new area which will be in Tomar, Abrantes, and Castello Branco! My comp and I will be covering three areas and three branches ! I'm excited for this new adventure with my new comp Elder Jorgensen! 


I'm sad to leave QueLuz behind, but I'm so grateful for all of the wonderful people that I met here and all of the wonderful experiences I had there. I definitely went through a lot there, good and bad. Reflecting on the past 6 months I've really have seen a change in myself. 

This weekend we had a picnic with Fabiola and her family to say goodbye! This family were the first people that I met here in Portugal and had the most impact on me so far on my mission. This family has been through a lot, but their faith in Christ and love for others is so inspiring! On Sunday they came to church and even the Dad Wesley who isn't a member came! 

I'm so grateful for all of the wonderful people I have met in my mission. From all of my friends and teachers at the MTC, all the way to the people that I know now -they have all helped me so much in my mission! Next week will be my first week in my new area and I will let you guys know how it went! Love you all 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 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

Ola Amigos!

Olá meu queridos amigos! These past 2 week have been amazing but hard and I have definetly have seen the hand of the Lord help me and my companions do His work here in Portugal! If any of you remember Fabíola, the mom of that awesome family that we teach a lot, was baptized this past Saturday! The way this all happened was pretty much a miracle! So when I first got to Queluz with my old comp, Elder Moreria, she was already on track to be baptized on March 21. But with the Corona virus and some other things, we had to postpone her baptism date. When we were officaly in quarantine and couldn't leave our apartments to teach or have baptisms, we were really worried if she would still want to keep in contact with us. But through technology, we were able to continue to teach her and keep her motivated to be baptized. We would have lessons with her pretty much every night. Then in the second week of April, we got permission from the mission President and our Bishop to baptize her! We was
