This week was interesting and incredible. We had 2 trips to Lisbon for Elder Webb to get his drivers license, during our 4 and a half hour wait Elder Stewart and Elder Mann, the Senior missionaries took us to a super good Sushi Buffet. Someone put bread in the microwave during church, it burnt, had a lot of smoke at set the fire alarm off during Gospel Principles.
Everybody is crazy about the Mundial, or World Cup. Ronaldo marked a free kick at the end of the game to tie Spain 3-3. I think Portugal has a good chance to take it all!
The biggest miracle of my mission happened this week. 2 Saturday´s ago we felt to knock a few more doors after a difficult morning on the way back to lunch. We rand a doorbell, then soon a man came out looking at us in surprise. We briefly explained the Restoration then he had to go to work so we marked an appointment for Monday evening.
We passed and taught the Restoration to Luis and his daughter Beatriz we had a super spiritual experience telling the first vision, during the lesson he told us that Saturday he was having a hard time, closed his eyes and prayed to God to help him. The moment he asked God he heard the doorbell rang and we were standing there. Miracle. We invited them to be baptized if they came to know that these things are true and he said "com certeza!" or "for sure" We saw a lot of wine bottles and smelt smoke so we taught the Word of Wisdom and Law of Chastity. He said "well i guess i´ll have to give this wine to a friend, but wait that would put him in Sin, lets take it out!" so we dumped 30+ bottles of wine down the sink and brought them out to the trash. Teaching about praying to ask God if these things are true Luis said, "I already have my answer."
Our next visit we were able to also teach his wife, Mariane and her daughter Carolina. The 4 of them came to church Sunday, Beatriz has already read from the introduction to 2 Nephi and wants to be baptized this Saturday an hour before a 3 stake youth event. They all loved church, so great! A truly Golden Family!
Patricia came to church with 3 of her kids, Isabella, Caettano and Isadora. Leia also came. A record for me with Investigators at church!
Feels good to be a servant of the Lord, working to help his children come unto him. I know that this Gospel is true.
Até o próximo,
