Hey! Sounds like you guys had a good week, congrats on the Home run Dallan that's awesome. It has been pretty hot here as well, (it's ok though because we gain hot wife points for having to be in the heat all day, getting blisters, getting shot in the head by an airsoft gun, etc...) So this week was great, last P-day we went to the driving range as a district and with our zone leaders so that was a blast. Elder Wheeler and I decided if I stay next transfer were going to play a full game of golf the p-day before my birthday, (on the 19th). So we didn't find as many people this week but some of the people we've found in the past couple weeks have been progressing really well. We had a meeting with Cristina and her daughter Vanessa last night and Vanessa has been reading the Book of Mormon and highlighting things in the pamphlets we leave them so that's exciting. She also brought her Book of Mormon to work the other day and was explaining everything to her colleagues and also her family members so that is awesome. The only problem is she doesn't like churches and she likes to sleep in so it's hard to get her to come to church but we'll get her there. That's one of the difficulties we're having, almost everyone we teach loves the Book of Mormon but they're too lazy to come to church, (due to the early hour) or they have to work. It's sad but I know God is preparing people to accept completely the gospel, (including the early hour of church). We found this middle aged couple that is way cool, (she's Brazilian and he's Portuguese) and initially he didn't really want anything to do with us because he's "not a religious person" but now he loves us and has started reading the Book of Mormon. They asked if they could feed us lunch or dinner and it was funny because they were all shy and scared to ask but then we were like of course you can! We’ll bring the desert! So yeah this week was great we had plans to go to Santa Cruz today to write letters on the cliffs overlooking the beach but it's raining right now :( But we'll probably go next week the view there is amazing! I want to stay here I love Torres Vedras, I know we can get some baptisms going this place has so much potential and things are going really good. I hope you all have a good week keep on being awesome!-Elder Linguiça.
