So this week was pretty crazy. It sounds like you are doing well and everything is cool there. Well this week we had a lot of great experiences as well, Eliza Carla (the mom of the family I've written about in the past) received a strong answer about the Book of Mormon and the church and that was really cool. She and the family are so amazing and have been clicking really well with the members here because she's really out going. We marked her for baptism for Sunday but it fell through because of complications with the marriage she will have in a few months, but she will be baptized soon. We’re still working with the rest of the family to help them receive an answer like the one their mom received. She bore her testimony on Sunday for the second time in a row. I love that family! We have another investigator that we talked to in the street about three weeks ago, it was a great contact and we invited her to visit our church but she didn't want to give us her contact or any information so we didn't think that she would really show up. But the next day she did! We taught her that week but then it became really hard to talk to her during the week because she's a single mom that is working and is going to school, but she continued to come to church. During our weekly planning this last Friday Elder Bezerra and I prayed to know when she should be baptized and we felt that it should be the next Sunday so we made plans to talk to her after church on Sunday. Saturday night I had a dream that we challenged her to be baptized and she was like of course I will I've been waiting for you guys to ask me. I told Elder Bezerra about the dream Sunday morning and he was like I sure hope it will be like that. So after sacrament meeting before we could even ask to talk to her, the member who we designated to sit next to her was like Elders get over here sister Elvira told me during the meeting that she wants to be baptized. I was like oh my goodness that is music to our ears. It's kind of funny how the Lord works, we were pretty bummed when the baptism of Eliza fell through but the Lord blessed us with this miracle and we set up appointments during the week to teach her the rest of the lessons. I know that God lives and Loves and watches after his children. I love this work and I know that Portugal is the only place for me to be right now. Sorry I couldn't write yesterday we had a meeting in Lisbon.
