So this week was crazy so I'll try and remember all the stuff that went on. We were all over the place. So the craziness started on Saturday when we had service in Mofra, there's a brother there that has back problems so we went there to help him with his back yard. He has a bunch of trash back there and these shacks he built with a bunch of different stuff and the purpose of the service were basically to get rid of everything so he can expand his garden. It was the funniest service I've ever done. We all just grabbed like a metal bar or a shovel and started beating the tar out of these shacks, it was so fun to destroy all that stuff we had a good time. But next week is going to stink because we have to haul all the debris away. Later that day we went up north to a city called Santa Cruz, It's basically a little party town that's right next to the beach and we have some inactive members there that we went to find. OH MY GOODNESS that water looked so refreshing and it was hot as a mug so we were just dying to take a dip as we walked along the ocean. It reminded me of California, (except the beach was better here) and I got saudades demais! It was a good trip, we only found one of the three members we were looking for but strangely enough we ran into someone we contacted in Torres Vedras a couple of weeks ago and we were clear out in a small town away from the beach that only has a few houses it was so crazy. Portugal is a small country but I don't think that that was by chance. So yeah basically it's getting really hot here, (probably is there too huh?) and with the humidity here it's ridiculous. I just lay on top of my blankets at night feeling like I have lotion all over my body but it's just the thickness of the air. So yesterday our Zone Leaders came to do divisions with us and after our district meeting I stayed in São Pedro da cadeira with Elder Oliveira, (a native from Brazil). He's such a funny guy and a great missionary. He doesn't speak English besides a few phrases like "freaking heck man", so that was fun to spend the day with a nativo. At night we were walking up to teach Maria Reginas sister when all the sudden I heard a yell in front of me and when I looked up I saw an old lady fall over, she fell hard on the cement and bashed up her elbows and knees. Elder Oliveira and I ran over to help her up it scared the bejeebies out of me. Then we had a lesson with the other elders and Maria Regina, her sister, her sister’s husband, and their son. It was a pretty good lesson we we're all crammed in a tiny room basically sitting on top of one another to watch "the restoration" I swear I already have that movie memorized. So today the elders from Mofra are coming up and we're having a "special p-day" with the zone leaders it's going to be sweet. I think we're going to play settlers of catan or some other board game up in the castle, estou animado! Have a great week I'll talk to ya next week-O missionário mais Giro no mundo...Elder Lindquist
