Week 52- Happy Anniversary! 1 year!!

This week was pretty awesome! It was my comps birthday on saturday and we had a family night planned with some members and investigators and like half the branch showed up. And i guess they knew it was his birthday somehow... So after it was all over they brought out a cake and started singing to him. 

I drank my first milk that came from a cow from here. (usually its milk from portugal). Its super sour from here. But they love it so i stayed strong and pretended i liked it haha.

Also for firsts i was on divisions and i was working out with one of those giant rubberband things and it slipped up and whacked me in the eyes. I was slightly terrified i was going to be blind haha. But it was fine just had to sit and put some ice on it because one of my eyes wasnt adjusting but its all good now.

I gave like my second talk in church on the mission haha. And had like 4 minutes to prepare it. Oh well i hope it helped someone!

Still just walking a lot of dirt paths in the country side to teach people. And when its super far hopping in the back of trucks. That basically sums up whats going on in this area haha.

Happy early birthdays Cyrus and tim! Party it up! 

Im getting worse and worse at these letters haha! sorry!

Love you all!

Week 51

Well this week is gonna be short... sorry! The branch here is really cool. its different because i went from a ward of like 20 years to a branch of 3 years. And yet we have more rms in this branch haha. But its a nice change to be working in a branch again.

We had a couple investigators at church this week which was a really nice change haha. A couple of them were brought by a member that actually lives in portugal in the ward of my companion. Strange huh. Well he really wants us to teach his family before he heads back to portugal here in a little bit so we will be teaching them. 

We had our first zone meeting here that i was here for. I only knew like one person in the zone and ive been out for quite a while but thats what happens when your mission is divided between islands. 

As for the christmas season i have only seen one place with decorations and it is like a mini market store thing. And it mainly is selling just like the streamers or whatever they are called. The only christmas lights ive seen were on a mini christmas tree in our church building but thats it. oh well. And for info on when we will be skyping ask mom i gave her a bit of info. ill give more next week if there is any more.

Our area is suuuuuper spread out. but its cool and all farm like and what not. 

Love you all!
