Monday was a day in which the youth tried to rope us into going to Chior Practice. The old appointment excuse works everytime!!!, We ended up catching the last 10 minutes of chior practice and we got roped into singing at stake conference. On the bus there was a little girl about 3 years old or so that was rummiging through the things in her mom's purse and taking them out and messing with them, and then the mom stopped her and told her to keep her hands to herself. Well, it got to the point where she pulled out a lighter. Not a lighter to light cigarettes, but a long lighter to start stoves and stuff. Well, the mom wasn't paying attention, but the kid pointed it up and pulled the trigger. No joke, a flame about 5 inches high shot out of that thing and the girl's eyes grew 3 sizes. We laughed, and so did the mom, and the kid cried, it was funny, but we shouldn't have laughed, but we did.
Tuesday was a day in which we did a division in Viseu and I got to see all of my people there. Dona Cassilda was super excited to have me come in March and has already laid out the arrangements. She did say that Megan and Jessica will have to sleep on the same bed, or else I will sleep on the ground. I haven't broken the news to her, that I could sleep in the basement with the missionaries, and then all the problems would be solved. Anyways, there were two members that invited me over for dinner too!!! I got a cold because we got stuck in the rain, I didn't let it get me down though.
Wednesday I got home from viseu and got to work in Coimbra. Maggie was preparing for baptism and her friend made some Peanut butter chicken for us, it was actually really good.
Thursday while we were proselyiting we found a guy. this guy was about my size, had really bad teeth and his haircut was just like grandpa hedelius's haircut, he was about 50 or so, but he also smoked a lot. He looked at us and said tell me about god. He then asked us about our age, marital status, and if we wanted to marry his mom, or a gypsie? it was great! we started into the first lesson and I pulled out a first lesson pamphlet. He took the pamphlet and I was having problems with congestion, so I blew my nose. He reached into his jacket and pulled out a handful of stolen napkins from the café across the street. He took the pamphlet and he said, Don't I look like jesus? We said that we all look a little like jesus. He then asked us if Jesus was here, what would we do. We said we would worship him, and then he said would you kiss his feet? we said sure. He then took off his shoe, and told us that he can start kissing his feet.
Friday was weekly planning and we had the oportunity to have a lesson with Natercia and get maggie ready for baptism. she was super ready, anyways, we left and said that saturday wouldn't work for her. A kid named ricardo marked himself for the 6th of october.
Saturday everything was ready and elder whitaker and I went on a division where we marked a lady named Djusa for the 20th of October.
Sunday we don't know what happened to Maggie and she wasn't baptized, it was sad, but I guess it was for the better. Maggie is going to move in to live with Natercia.
All in all there is a really solid baptism this next saturday, but unfortunately, it is likely that I will be emergancy transfered tomorrow. President called me and told me of the possibility, but said he would verify it or not tonight.
Thank you for all you do.
Elder Hope
