Robbery Witnesses

Olá,

For District meeting this week we went on Family Search to learn ,ore about it because we have been talking to tons of people about it without knowing much about it ourselves, It was so fun for me to look back generations and find information about my ancestors. On RelativeFinder.org I found that I was 4th cousins, 8 times removed from Cornelius Vanderbilt, one of the prominent business leaders in the 1800´s haha it was fun to look at. 

We passed the 20 or so addresses of members in Rua Almada Negreiros, and have found that over half of them had moved, one over 40 years ago haha

One night we stopped by Lidl, a grocery store, real quick as we were leaving some young African Punks were acting suspicious so we waited around to see what they were going to do. Lidl is set up with one entrance and one exit that are separated, they had one wait out side, 3 go in and steal some candy or something, then 2 left through the entrance when a big group of people walked in and the other walked out normally. We would of reported them but with fear that gangs would target missionaries we felt it was best to let it go.

We taught Katia and Frances on Saturday. We had lost contact with them for almost a month and had passed by 6 or 7 times, and finally were able to find them in their house. They are awesome and have the desire to come to church and be baptized, but she works on Sunday, so we have to get that figured out first.

We had a lesson with Edminia in Cova da Piedade one night at 7. We passed but she wasn't there about 30 minutes latter we were walking down a different road and ran into her. She said "Oh Elders I´m so sorry I am returning home late right now from work in Lisbon and from picking my son up from school. Can you pass by another day?" Such a miracle that we found her one day and ran into her another day when the appointment fell through. Both experiences were from following a prompting of the spirit to go a certain direction. 

For P-day this morning we went back to Costa da Caparica and played beach volleyball, soccer and Frisbee. We also got to see some fisherman bringing in nets full of a ton of fish. 

Até Proximo.
