I love these little three wheeled trucks!
We went to a cute little party at an old folks home on "Sardines Day" These cute little ladies (both members of the church) danced for the celebration.

Letter Home:
Basically, all I have to say to any other missionary serving in
Europe is...
And of course I didn’t watch the game, but I supported and
yelled "Viva Portugal!" with the best of em. I definitely have
mission country pride. Portugal is the best. So there. I love it all from the
funny old people, to the millions of bakeries, to the cobble stoned sidewalks,
EVERYTHING! And why am I feeling so sentimental? Because today during P-day we received
a training for missionaries that are going home in 3 weeks. We talked about
marriage, getting jobs, being in an interview, and making resumes. That is
something that I haven’t thought about or worried about in so long! But I found
myself in a mock interview in front of a bunch of other missionaries, and when
the fake employer asked me what I had to bring to the company I was able to
say:
"For a year and a half of my life, I did volunteer work for
my church as a missionary in Portugal. I learned how to work under stress, work
well with people of all different cultures, and meet and talk to strangers
everyday. I believe I can work hard, I am dedicated and diligent, and ready to
do my best."
What employer wouldn’t want to hear that?
This week we have continued with our divisions with Irma’s
everyday. We found these AWESOME ladies from Brazil named Andreia and Cintia.
They were a reference from a member, and they are so cool! They both came to
church with us and loved it! They are marked for baptism on the 24th. Prayers
would be lovely!
I have thought a lot about what I want to say to you all this
week, but I hardly have any time, but I want to transmit to you all how I feel
regarding something that the prophets have spoken out against over and over.
Pornography. If you are a person who has an addiction to Pornography, because
it IS addictive, I frankly invite you to STOP. It is a poison that destroys
families and honestly scares me. I am willing to do whatever it takes to make
my future home a pornography-free atmosphere. My children will grow in a home
that is a safe haven from the world. I hope I can find a husband that shares
these same feelings. If you are a young man reading this email and you don’t
agree with my feelings about pornography, sorry Hun but this girl is not for
you.
I love you all! I know this church is true. I feel it in my
heart. I love other missionaries and I pray for their success and happiness.
The mission is what you make it. Make it unforgettable!
