Family and friends

Ok, so here is how conference works here in Portugal. Saturday morning starts Saturday at 5pm and saturday night has 2 showings, one at 9pm saturday and one at 1 pm Sunday. Priesthood session is at 10 am sunday, and sunday morning is at 5 pm sunday and sunday night is at 9 pm sunday. I watched the last half of Saturday morning right as President Monson was announcing the temples. I watched Preisthood, Saturday evening, and sunday Morning, and didn't watch any of Sunday evening. I am fine, we can watch it on the internet mom, but thanks for thinking of us.

So friday night Olivia was interviewed to be baptized and passed!! She is the Jehovah Witness that we have been teaching for the last 4 weeks. She is probably the funnest investigator to teach. We taught her the law of Tithing 6 times until she finally understood it. In the Jehovah witness you can pay tithing with your time proselyting, and they open the donations infront of everyone, where it is personal in our church, she didn't understand that.

Also, Margarita passed her interview, but we still don't know the date, it looks like she will wait until the 30th so that her family can be there.

We had 6 investigators at conference, 2 were eternal investigators, but they went none the less. We also had 3 less actives at conference which is always good to have.

We were walking to a train stop to catch a train and there were 2 Jehovah witnesses on the other side knocking doors. There was one door in particular they entered. We saw them come out, and I told Elder Searle we need to go and knock that door. We did a few days later, and came out with a new investigator!!

I love our lovely bus drivers here too. if you want to get off, you hit the button and wait by the door, so we hit the button and waited and it was only us two, I saw the driver look through his mirror, and just keep on driving right past the stop and stopped at the next stop because there were people waiting to get on.

I lost half my time trying to get onto the internet. so I don't have much time.

Love y'all
