Hey all how's it going? This week was pretty sweet I got my new companion on Thursday his name is Elder Wheeler and he's from the LA area in California. We have the same taste in music and movies and he's really into extreme sports. I'll send a picture of us on Thursday. We've been tearing it up this week we found ten new investigators on Monday. All of which were Brazilians, (note: we didn't find ten investigators my whole stay in Beja) so things are going really good in this area. We're setting up kind of a schedule where we are visiting the little cities and villages outside of Torres Vedras and that is going very well. Our branch president has felt very strongly that we need to do that and it's working very well. So on Sunday President and Sister Terry came to visit our branch and after we all ate at a member’s house. This was their last Sunday so that was cool to spend it with them. President Torgan arrived last night and we have our first zone conference with him on Monday so we're all pretty excited. I really like training its fun, Elder Wheeler speaks really well so it isn't extremely difficult. But yeah a lot of cool stuff happened this last week. The other day we passed by some people during the afternoon and no one was home, I had a feeling we needed to go to the park. I thought why the park that's clear on the other side of town, but we went there not knowing why. We got there and it was full of people, I was kind of thinking ok heavenly father help us find the person we need to talk to. I looked to my right and saw a man sitting on a bench alone, I felt that we should talk to him so we went over and asked if we could sit by him to talk about Jesus Christ. He quickly welcomed us to sit down. As we talked to him he explained that he knew the elders ten years ago when they were in Torres Vedras and that he came close to being baptized. This surprised me a lot. So yeah we got his information it'll be hard to meet with him because he lives in a place where I don't think we have transport to but that was a cool experience. So many things happen like that throughout the week I can't even tell you all of them. But I do know that Christ is leading us to his elect by way of his spirit. And not everyone progress but we still feel good that we did the best we could do. Like in the story in 1st Nephi chapter 3 and 4. It took them several attempts to obtain the plates and even when they brought their best (the second attempt when they brought all the gold and silver) their attempt still failed. But the Lord eventually provided a way for them to fulfill the commandment that was given to them by their father Lehi. Sometimes we bring our best to the lessons and things still go bad, but I know that eventually the Lord will open up a way for these people to accept the truth. Whether it's tomorrow or five years from now. Hope y'all have a good week we're doing fine here in Torres. Com muito muito amor..Elder Lindquist
