Hey, how's everyone
doing? Life is good here!! Lots of things happened this week so where do I
start....
We started our
Christmas conferences this week. We will be doing 3 of them. One in the Açores,
one in the Algarve, and then one huge one with basically all of the mission in
Lisbon. This week we flew to the Açores to do the first and smallest conference.
It was cool going back to my islands, I love them so much and had many
flashbacks while I was there for 2 days. Seeing the green hills, blue ocean,
and the Azorean people gave me a great feeling. The conference went well, my
comp and I did a training on unity with your comp, your mission, and your God.
It went well but we are excited to fix the bugs for the next conference in
Lisbon this upcoming week! Sister and President Tavares gave inspiring messages. I’ll tell you about them later but don’t want
to spoil it for any in the mission who haven’t heard it yet. I’ll just tell you it was great!
Our mission is doing
really really well right now! We are trying to reach a goal that hasn’t been
reached the whole time President and sister Tavares have been here. We are
getting close and exercising faith and ramping up!! Along with that there is a
lot of opposition, but we are fighting the good fight and won’t stop. Please pray
for us!
One of my favorite
things this week was when we went over to the mission home and met President
and sister Tavares’ grandson who is staying with them for the holidays. His name is Gilherme and he is 6 years old.
He has a lot of nerf guns and challenged us to a nerf war which was super fun!
I have been studying a
lot about the atonement of Christ and have learned a lot of new things but there
is still so much more. I also am studying 3rd Nephi and it’s just so
sick. Jesus really is the Christ! Everything
he said was just perfect! I am honored I get to wear his name on my
chest!
Today we went to a
place called “boca do inferno” or “mouth of hell” in English. It is a rock
formation where the ocean meets the beach and these huge waves make crazy
splashes! It was a good time!
