Another Baptism Scheduled!!
PORTUGAL!!!!!
WE HAVE A BAPTISM THIS SATURDAY!!!!!!! her name is Belina, and shes probably around 50ish years old. and shes a DWARF!!!! hahaha, shes like 4'10" and its probably like 3ft wide haha. there's actually a few dwarves here (like literal dwarves) and now we get to baptize one!!
This week has been a lot better then all the rest in terms of missionary work. my comp and i got sick of not having many new investigators, so we really made an effort at it this week, and its been pretty sweet! i think it also helps that the sun has been out and its been much warmer lately(; we have 11 new investigators this week, which blows every other week out of the water! haha, and its super inspiring, and its just gonna get better, i can fricken feel it in my bones!
we also had 19 people at church yesterday, which is a record since either my comp or i have been here! woo-hoo haha(: its funny that back home our Priest Quorum was almost this big haha(: but we've also been working hard at getting the less actives back, and its starting to pick up.
my SD card in my camera is getting full, so what im gonna do from now on is buy a 16G thumb drive (thery're only like 8£ here) and put all the pics and videos on it, and then send that home. hopefully that will make it easier to see everything since a thumb drive should just work on any computer with a USB(:
not too much happened this week out of the ordinary, just a lot of working hard and getting down to the nitty gritty!(:
Oh yea!! i guess a couple people in the ward want to learn piano, so im gonna start teaching them!! hahahahahahahahahahahahahaha!!!!!!!!!!!!! please tell Sister Zimmerman that what she talk me stuck and that its going to a good cause!! hahahaha(: i have no idea how the teaching will go, but i just think thats the freakin funniest thing in the world!!
Yea that little kid is the one from a little bit ago, and he's the only kid(: but he hasnt been here for that past two weeks): i have a tennis ball to give him haha. the next youngest is a 14 year old named Francisco, and he's a fricken stud. he lives with his grandma, and when she was baptized a while ago he decided to also. We have 5 people (not including us) in our ward with the priesthood, and one of them is Francisco! haha, he's the teachers quorum president, but its kinda sad cuz he's the only one around his age. the next youngest is 19 year old Inês, who was baptized the week i got here(:
slowy but surely the ward is starting to grow(: im just trying to gifure out where all my time is going! haha, i was sitting in church yesterday listening to our Pres. talk (its not big enough to be a ward with a bishop, so we have a branch with a president) and it hit me that ive already been out three months!! haha, i cant even remember what it was like to be in the MTC! but i think the Lord is helping me to slow it down a little in my head, cuz i keep having dreams that im already home from my mission and waking up in my bed, and honestly it sucks!! haha, in my dreams its like "no way.... i know they said it goes by fast, but there's no way this is right....." and then i wake up and im like phew!!!!!! hahaha, but its so funny how quickly time goes by when your working hard!(:
I love all you guys so much, and i hope you guys are still having as much fun at home as i am here!!(:
when i do my scripture studies, i like to have little sticky notes, and to write down references of scriptures that i really like, and this morning, i looked down at my little notes and realized a cool little thing that i know was put together by someone a lot smarter than me(; haha, if you know who i mean(: im gonna put numbers in it so that i can make refereneces if you want to read them on your own(i definitely recomend you do, cuz they all freakin rock) it goes like this:
"(1) Bretheren, shall we not go on in so great a cause? Go forward, and not backward. Courage bretheren; and on, on to the victory! (2) For if God is for us, who can be against us? (3) Gird up now thy loins like a man (3) and forget yourself and go to work, (4) for as the body without the spirit is dead, so faith without works is dead also."
(1) - D&C 128:22 (and yes, i meant this one last week, haha sorry)
(2) - Romans 8:31
(3) - Job 38:3; 40:7
(4) - James 2:26
haha how freakin cool is that?! Also if you get a chance read the book of James in the Bible (its only like 4 pages), i freakin love the whole book!(: especially James 4:7 (:
i gotta run, but ill talk to you guys next week!!
the coolest and most handsome and charming missionary ever...
Élder Dayton(:
Zach Loves him some 'taters
last monday while we we're walking to get me a haircut, we stopped by a farmers market, and i got myself a freakin 20kg sack'o'potatoes hahaha(: (thats almost 45lbs) its been a week and we've barely made a dent, and we freakin eat potatoes every day(:
I'm so thankful sweet members are looking out for my son and taking him out to get food!! Portugal looks beautiful!
this is the resturant that our Maizinha took us too this last week, its called Boa Vista, which means good view haha. this is the patio we sat under, it was cool cuz it have tree roots and vines growing around us, and this is the view we had, of the river and the little water fall, the bridge and an older part of town(: it was super yummy(:
