This week was just plain good. This Saturday we had a party for Placido and Manuela. They got married on Thursday and moved back in with each other! HOORAY FOR FAMILIES! So we had a party in the chapel on Saturday, just a little something with delicious treats and good friends. It was really awesome. To see these two transform in a matter of less than 2 months. They heard the Gospel, accepted it, obeyed the commandments, got baptized, and got married. What faith. Now they are set on going to the Temple in one year to be sealed together for time and all eternity. I will try to send a picture . I made deviled eggs for the party, it is totally something the Portuguese people would love. Turns out, they do!
Carla was baptized yesterday! She is incredible. She just gets it, you know? She agreed to having us over to talk to her about the Gospel and the Church, but she said from the beginning ´´I´m catholic, I´m not changing, but I will listen...`` But as time went on we invited her to find out for her self, to talk with Heavenly Father about the things she was learning and to read the book of Mormon to know for herself. She changed. She really came to know her relationship with Him. Within three weeks she accepted and was baptized yesterday. She is firm in her conversion. It is a powerful thing to see.
I have tons more to say, but not enough time. I love you all...
Also HAPPY BIRTHDAY SHOUT FOR THE WEEK GOES TO MY ONE AND ONLY
