Wow what a week! Yesterday we
got transfer calls...I got a call from President Tavares in the afternoon and
he told me that I will be the new AP in the Portugal Lisbon mission. I was
shocked.... I instantly felt like I was going to throw up. My comp will be
Elder Egbert who is also from my MTC group so that’ll be great! The assistants
to the president live in an area in Lisbon called Mem Martins. I am so excited
to go there and start working! It’ll be weird having a car and a smartphone. Tonight
I’m heading to Lisbon and then will start to work the next morning with meeting
the new missionaries and everything. It will sure be an adventure!
Other than that my week was pretty normal. We
had a district meeting in Lagos on the day of Halloween so we all dressed up. I was Harry Potter because that’s super easy
with what we wear as missionaries.
Oh, this week I got
pelted with an orange.... I was just walking, then bam, someone threw an orange
at me. It was funny!!
This week I learned a
lot about prayer…it’s incredible how we have the power and opportunity to talk
to God WHENEVER WE WANT!!!! I put a grand effort in my prayers this week and I
really did see a difference. I am doing a "daily report" in my
prayers so I report to God everything that has happened and what I could’ve
done better and what help I need to accomplish my tasks. I see how the Lord is
with me every step of the way every single day.
I also see that there are so many miracles! By praying with "real
intent" we see how much the Lord really does bless us and how he has such
a great love for us.
I am heading to Lisbon
now! Have a great week and pray for me that I can learn and serve and love!
