Natercia is by far one of my favorite converts. We went by and made some form of contact with her almost daily this last week. She found a friend named Elsa that is progressing and getting ready for baptism and another named Maggie that should be doing just fine here soon as well.
On monday we went over to Natercia's house and her face was in literal Panic. There was a rat in her toilet. she had dumped bleach on it, but was freaked out because it didn't kill it (I am pretty sure it would have), but we took a pole and shoved it down the toilet while it was flushing.
On tuesday we had our first district meeting this transfer (this was the 4th week of the transfer), and we spoke about getting people to church. It must have worked because we had 8 investigators at church, and we didn't invite 4 of them, they just showed up (they are family members of a really active member that didn't want anything)
On Wednesday we taught Elsa and Natercia together, it is intersting because we are talking with Elsa everyday, and everyday she is getting better. She doesn't remember anything, but hey!! Repetition peirces even the dullest of minds!!! But we are so happy that she was never involved in an abortion.
On Thursday We found a lot of the members in the street and we went and had lunch with them, what a blessing since our money was a week late. It is sort of rough because when the money comes late, we scrimp and save, and then all of a sudden we have have twice as much as we need, so we decided to keep a reserve fund.
On Friday and Saturday I did a division with Covilhã. It takes 2.5 hours to get there, but President Fluckiger said we needed to go, so we did, and it was a blessing because I got to go with Elder Packard. It was the last division that he will do on his mission as he flies home tomorrow.
On Sunday we didn't have anyone in church to begin with. Natercia had a great idea to take a sleeping pill at 4 am, but she put her phone right next to her bed on loud, so that she would wake up when we called. After sleeping through the alarm, she woke up to us wondering where she was. She said she was coming. We then saw Ramiro and a 2 of his friends come in to watch him get confirmed, and then an eternal investigator walked in. Then all of a sudden, that family of 4 investigators walked in, it was awesome. We then heard the doorbell of the chappell, and Natercia shows up with Elsa. Elsa slept in the road the night before since no one offered to let her stay with her (Natercia offered, Elsa just didn't go to Natercia's house), so Elsa stunck really bad. After church Natercia said that Elsa smelled like Urine, I don't know what is going on with her.
Today we played basketball with some youth and Elder Alston got 6 euros stolen from him.
Love y'all
Elder Hope
