Dear family and friends,
On monday we went over to Filipa's house and marked her for the 2nd of December. She is so excited to get married and baptized. We then went over to Akiwa's home (a member) to have a party for her son. Filipa is 23 years old and will get married to a less active that we are reactivating.
On tuesday we had district meeting and then went over to Anita's house for lunch. Anita is set and she is doing really good. She is going to leave to go to Mosmbique here soon but she will come back. We then went over to help another less active move houses. We went over to an investigators house to help her lift furniture up the window of a 4th story apartment because it was too big for the stairs . . . thank goodness.
On wednesday I had the privilege of going to the registro civil to help a Filipa and Manuel mark their wedding. It was a great birthday gift and I am really happy that I had the time to do that. Right after we went over to another investigator's house named Guaretti and we taught her about coming to church. that night we had a great time with Lynda Marinho. We ended the night by reviewing the interview questions with Ihnderson. After the day I was looking through my bags, and I found a letter that I had written to dad. I don't know what it is, but I might as well just give it to him when he comes, the problem is that I already sealed it and I don't want to open it up incase it is important.
On thursday we ate lunch at Anita's house again. Anita likes giving us food, seeing as she has a fairly large food budget from the government. there wasn't too much more interesting things.
On Friday I went to viana do castelo to do an interview. The problem is that I saw two member families and then we spent the whole day looking for the guy to be baptized. We found him around 8 pm . . . drunk . . . .so needless to say he didn't pass. Ihndersen passed the interview.
On saturday we spent most of the day traveling home, but we did manage to teach Filipa and Manuel in the chapel and find a family of 4 to teach. . . .they are planning on moving though. The woman, Rabia, went from super big Mundial de Deus to asking for a book of mormon!!
On sunday we spent the whole time trying to figure out the baptismal font, but at the end Ihnderson was baptized. He doesn't have a lot time, but he is cool. HE comes to church on sunday and wants to follow god.
Elder Hope
