SEF

Olá,

I´m in Lisbon for the first time in 6 months to do Sef and I will return tonight to Terceira for 3 more weeks! I ran 2 miles in Benfica this morning then bowled a 105. It was so fun to talk to the family last night. Once again Happy Mother´s Day Mom and to Grandma(s) and to the other mothers! Your influence and example to me in life and the gospel have guided and protected me so much!

Went to Praia a day this week and passed the members, The members there are so cool. One has a brain tumor which has made her temporarily blind, Remarkably she is such a happy person. I finished reading "Our Search for Happiness" for the second time this week, the first time was in the MTC. It is a guide and invitation to understand The Church of Jesus Christ. Real and True happiness is only found by living the gospel of Jesus Christ.

A daughter of a member was hit by a car passing a crosswalk, and almost died, her head it pretty beat up and her body is bruised. They called us Saturday morning for us to pass by and give them a blessing.

We´ve had little success with teenagers throughout my mission, but this week we found three Simon, Diana and Ana who are open and sincere to hearing the gospel.

We have been working a lot with Lucia Matos, who had been inactive a while and now she is coming back to church! We will continue working with Manuel, Pedro, Nuno, Fatima and many others to return to full membership.

3 months left, time to give it 100% and leave it all out in the field!

Boa Semana.
