I have a comp!!!

Hahaha, it feels weird to say but i am so thankful for the opportunity to have a comp. It has been super hard over the last little while to care for my area and worry about who i am going to have to walk with today. Any ways, this week I got my brand new comp for Portugal and his name is Elder Moreira. His accent is super different and at the beginning we had a hard time communicating but we are doing awesome now. This guy is so awesome. His dad happens to be a seventy and he is super obedient so I think this is going to be an amazing transfer.

We had  Zone Conference yesterday and wow I loved it. We talked about the importance of the book of Mormon in the process of conversao. It hit me so strongly that this book was written for us and that it has a power to change lives if we do a good enough job and teaching and showing our investigators how they can gain access to it.

This week we had the baptism of two brothers named Junior and Afouso. They are such awesome little guys. They both have 9 years and are the brothers of July and Fausia that we baptized a few weeks ago. I love seeing their family accept the gospel even though it has been one person at a time. We have started teaching their parents too and we really hope that they will join their kids in the amazing gospel.

Just a quick experience from the week, we went to church and during sacrament meeting a family of 5, dressed super well and super polite entered and sat down. After the meeting we talked with them and found out that the wife had investigated the church before but ended up going somewhere else a little bit afterward. Then later she got married, had this family and had a conversation with her husband about how they should be more united as a family and attend the same church. She said when they talked about that, The Church Of Jesus Christ Of Latter Day Saints was the first thing that came to her mind as she remembered the unique focus that this church has on the family. just a little something that stood out to me.

Love you all. The work is going great. I haven't died yet;)
