Dear family and friends,
It was a good weeek that ended with us speaking to our parents for 1 hour and 4 more baptisms.
1. Sonia and her daughter Mariana were baptized. They are a family we found in the Area book in Setúbal and she called me to see if I could come back to see her baptism. She was super excited to speak with me and offered to let me and my family stay at her house if my family comes to pick me up from my mission.
2. Fabio was baptized in Setúbal as well. He was an eternal investigator that wanted to get baptized, but also wanted to break the law of Chastity. Finally, after a couple of lessons, he made the decision to move out until August, when he will be getting married to his Girlfriend. Fabio is someone who will be a great leader in the Church and understands the commandments.
3. Elder Rose and I got into Coimbra with challenge to baptise the first weekend after a whitewash. Well, we marked a guy named abel on Wednesday with only one problem . . . he smokes marijuana, so we told him to quit by Friday. On Friday we got there and he said that he was completely healed and doesn't want to smoke more . . . and he also didn't have any money to buy it, so he decided it was a good time to quit.
The lord has richly blessed us in all of these efforts.
It is true that the best gift we can give anyone is the gift of Salvation.
We love y'all tons
Elder Hope
