Okay so today after 6 months of being in Matosinhos I am now in Coimbra! It is more south of the mission. I am with Sister Leavitt now and she has about a little bit over a year now on the mission. She is from Idaho, so that looks like my second one! I am living in a four sister house with another girl from France and Sister Dixon who I came into the mission with. This will be a blast for sure!!
I am super sad to leave Matosinhos and really my family. The goodbye's were good and I will totally go see them again. But to kick it off and out of Mats this past week we had the party of spring!
My goodness we had more than 100 people there and we had about more than 20 investigators there. We had a competition of soup and games for kids, free dinner and music! People loved it so much and the church was filled! It was fun to see smiling and some of the older member's come back to church and relax and enjoy this moment with all of us. Gotta love this ward and these people of Portugal. :)
Also this week, since I kinda knew that I was going to leave, we have had sooo many dinners its crazy! I had sea food two days in a row ;) so much fish and some Cape Verde dishes which were so good. I cant express my love for Matosinhos in words but I will now continue on in this beautiful new area!
I also know that it is Parker's Birthday this week! I hope that you get my package I sent last week. I really wish that I could be there for your birthday and baptism but I will be thinking of you and praying for you! Love you pmac :)
Welp I will for sure send pics next week but ,I love you all so much!
