Hey all, this week has been good. This transfer is going by WAY fast, which is a good thing it's crazy how fast it has gone. In a couple days we have a huge zone conference with all the missionaries in the mission because someone from the Seventy is coming to talk to us. Right now I'm down in Cacem and after email we're taking a train to Sintra to visit some rad castles! They are way cool looking they're up on this mountain so I'm stoked for that. Last week I went to the Convent in Mofra with Elder Perkes while we were on divisions and that was pretty cool too, I'm sending a few pictures.
The other day we decided to go down to São Pedro da cadeira to do some finding because our chapel is there and it's easier to invite people to go to church. We made our way up this big hill where this huge farm was then we decided to walk down to this little town on the other side, and we kept walking and walking till we almost reached the sea. We didn't have much luck over there but when we walked back to São Pedro we found a Brazilian family and taught them the message of the restoration. The next day one of the sons and one of the daughters of the family went to church. It was cool to find them right before we took our bus back to Torres we had just enough time to teach a lesson.
The landscapes here are stinking beautiful, I've never seen so much agricultural land it's a cool place. Oh and I forgot to tell you Paulo hasn't left yet so we're still working with him to get him baptized. He might be leaving to Holland, or Switzerland, or he might even stay here but he doesn't know when, so we're going to continue teaching him as if nothing had come up. He remarked for baptism. Our branch is on fire! We and the elders from Mofra have some one marked for baptism every weekend this month and into next month. Starting this week! No unhallowed hand can stop the work of the Lord. Have a great week! Good luck and boa sorte with baseball Dal, I'm excited to call you this Sunday! Feliz dia de Mãe!
