Feliz Natal,
Things have been going great here in Portugal, Sines is all decked out in Christmas decorations and all the stores are playing Christmas music. What a wonderful time it is to be a missionary!
Our car got checked last Monday and they said that nothing was wrong and it has not had any problems since!.
We had a zone meeting in Setubal this week, it was great. We learned a lot about the importance of teaching people and not lessons. I picked up my Christmas package there and noticed a soft/dark corner so I opened it up and the tobasco sauce bottle had broken along with the lid of the Anderson's Syrup. The tobasco sauce fortunately soaked into the box it was wrapped in and the corner of the package and didnt get on anything else. The Syrup's lid cracked and the seal came off (they had to have thrown the package). About 1/5 of it leaked out, it got on a few things but nothing was ruined except for the tobasco sauce, What a miracle! I set up my presents around Elder Salmon's little Christmas tree and am looking forward to opening them on Christmas morning!
The weather has been pretty good overall despite some cold mornings and evenings. There was some crazy wind here all throughout Friday, some of the strongest I have ever been in!
Friday we had just got back from St. André and were about to walk to an appointment. I was just going to bring my triple, I like to bring as few things as possible, but I had a prompting to bring a Book of Mormon also. After acting on another prompting we met this guy named José Manuel. He somewhat believes in the Bible and loves to read. He got excited when we told him about the Book of Mormon, another Testament of Jesus Christ in the Américas. He graciously accepted it and was anxious to begin reading. Milagre!
Our Branch Chistmas was party on Saturday, it went great and we had a ton of good food. 24 people came to it! Sunday we had the primary program and had 27 people at church, it felt so big haha
We were planning on going to eat at a Brazilian buffet for our Christmas Eve dinner until we found out that it had closed, then yesterday President Enaceo's family invited us over for a Christmas Eve dinner!
Merry Christmas to you all and remember the reason for the season!
Pancakes & Anderson´s Syrup e muito Bom!
