Welp since i have already talked to my family and you guys know just about everything this letter home will be short. or if you dont i sure bet my mother will defiantly tell all of you :)
This week has been pretty special preaching the gospel to all during the time of Christmas season and to all that really want to change theirs lives for the better. Not a better thing to see is 2 parents Sandra and Francisco accept to be baptized. They have 3 kids and we will soon have a complete family! They really even didn't let us ask them to be baptized, it was really funny. We started asking. then they interrupted and asked what day?!?! What a special family, they really want to change for the better and be with each other for all of eternity! So really that had to have been the best Christmas present ever! Along with that we also have been teaching the neighbors and they will be coming to church and receiving all the many blessings!
So for Christmas we had some of our wonderful members feed us unto the end. They are really just amazing and really take care of us. I am really going to miss the Holidays of Portugal! I will always talk about the people here but i will definitely talk about my comp as well, she really earned the best person award! I really have to thank her for helping me and really setting the example in a lot of things. She is super talented i really dont think she knows that! She plays the piano, sings like a flipping angel and speaks super well in Portuguese! I am super happy to be with her at the time in my mission! We really love here in Coimbra, and most the people! Our loves grows for the people here day by day. We have learned to really be the best that we can be and to be the example we want to see.
For me i am so grateful for everyone in my life, to help and support me through the times of drought or darkness so now i can help others here the same way with all of your stories and soft and calming guidance. Its hard to explain my love for my Heavenly Father because its infinite. But i know for a fact that i am here for a reason i know that anyone can be that example for someone, I know that if we focus on ourselves and our spiritual well being, that we will help others even more. I know my path and what i would want in my life only because of my perfect example of Jesus Christ. Really only to learn more about him and they ways i can become like him. I love all of you all so much!! Have the best new year!!
