The runny nose Miracle

Olá,

This week we had a few big rain storms that brought in some really cold, windy weather, it was freezing cold a few days this week, but it it feels great here today. Last Monday we had an appointment with Lilioné at 7. We were walking back from the other side of town and my nose was running so we decided to stop by the house for a little bit, then we went to her apartment complex and rang the 3ES (left) bell and she didn´t answer. Elder Luis was like lets just sit and wait a few minutes then try again. So we waited a few minutes, then this young mother and her daughter were walking down the road to the apartment complex and Elder Luis began to talk to them and it was Lilioné! She then invited us in to her house on the 4th floor and we taught the Restoration to her and her daughter. It was such a miracle. When I rang the bells a few days prior the last one I rang before she picked up was 3ES so we thought she lived in a different house. If we wouldn't have stopped by the house for me to blow my nose we would have missed her. Milagres cada dia!

A woman in Torrão, a city about an hour and a half away, filled out a referral online We got in contact with her, had a firm appointment and decided to drive out there and meet with her. When we arrived hardly anyone was in the city and we were wondering what was going on, We passed by her house 3 times and she wasn't there so we knocked a few doors and gave out some pass along cards. We were heading back and walked past this huge Catholic church that was letting out and it looked like General Conference was letting out haha it was wild. We couldn't contact any of the people and it was getting late so we had to head back. That was our first and probably last time ever going to Torrão.

Sunday we held the first group Sacrament meeting in Santiago do Cacém in Emanuel´s house, with the 4 members that live in Santiago and President Inacio´s family. It was cool we hope to eventually have a branch out there.

I found this 450 page Student Manual of the Doctrine and Covenants in our our and began reading it on Friday, it is fascinating, I don´t think I have ever learned so much church doctrine in such a short period of time. I am excited to continue reading and learning more!
