I've Been Transfered! :)
Well it only took 30 weeks but I’m finally leaving my beloved G-Town, so a new companion, new district, ward, investigators and área for Christmas yay…don’t miss my marked enthusiasm in what’s about to transpire, actually I’m the saddest about not going to the Marinhos for Christmas Eve, they invited us and well that’s that. It will be good, I’m very excited for a change; it’s so unreal to think that I’ll be leaving Guimarães, there aren’t even words to describe what I learned and have gone through here. So you’re all probably dying to find out where I’m going, you ready you ready, Coimbra-yay-the city with the first university in Portugal, a lot of students live there and get this they have 2 WARDS I know unheard of. So I’m back with a brazilara who I think she understands but doesn’t speak so well which is perfect for me because I’m still prideful and I don’t speak it a lot and you know me I’m not going to ask someone to slow down or say it again, I don’t like to allow people to have patience with me, I know it’s horrible. I’m glad to be able to switch companions it’s been a rough 2 transfers, I love her and all, and sometimes I liked her but let’s just say finally. It’s so funny here, it’s nice not to have to worry about the Christmas play anymore, these Ramo members are so funny, because they like to complicate things, and then argue with one another and it’s like hello remember the purpose of this and our message. It was good though, and it’s over, and I played the piano, I do want to learn how to play it better when I get back.Investigator news, Leonilde is still completely difficult she was reading the Book of Mormon; she has been coming to church though, so that’s progress, she loves to learn and read and participate, but still so prideful and not completely willing to let go of her JW ways. She came to our play and was a part of it. She’s cute though a very spunky person but kind of borders on bipolar, she lets you know when she’s up and down. Then finally we marked Christina, YAY also we’ve had I. Alberta going with us to her house and it’s been fun to see the changes the family is making. The mother said she didn’t believe in Christ before she believed that God didn’t help the poor but when I. Alberta called them to repentance and was like I WILL buy the bus ticket (for her brother to go back to Romania) that renewed her faith in God and she’s been listening and learning to although it’s really hard because she doesn’t really speak Portuguese and can’t read. Oh well it will be interesting to see what conspires, I can’t believe I’m leaving. It’s been wonderful to be on a mission and really ponder about life, about the Gospel and about our Savior. Also principals such as faith, hope, prayer, charity and all that other good stuff. I have such a grand testimony that The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints is the only true church on the face of the earth, that God again has called a prophet to restore His church and that Joseph Smith was that prophet. I am so grateful to have been blessed with you all in my life, such grand examples of faith and courage. I love you all so much, and miss you I can’t even begin to describe how much, but I know why I’m here and my message is so very important. I love you all thanks for everything have a grand week.
