So...yep, President Greene found out that we were having too much fun and called us on Tuesday to put an end to all the fun and games. It really didn´t happen that way, but we did have a phone call from President on Tuesday, and Sister Christensen is at this moment headed toward the beautiful university city of Coimbra (which is south and inland from here). I am now sitting here next to Sister Amber Simons from North Carolina. We´re going to have fun too I think. It´s always interesting to have changes. There is always something to learn from each one.
Other things that will happen this week...We´re really excited about General Conference. It is always a little wierd because the timing is so different--due logically to the difference in time zones. Anyway, it is such a great opportunity to hear the Lord´s mouthpiece tell us what we need to know to have happiness now and forever for our families.
On Tuesday we´ll have a baptism. Cândida is so excited, and will be a great addition to the ward family. She already has such a great testimony.
That´s about all, other than some great teaching moments that we surely will have this week. We really have a great area, it is so beautiful and also there are a lot of great people who need our help...Here we come to the rescue.
Yeah, not exceedingly inspired today...sorry. I´m sure next week I´ll have a book to write. Oh, and Mom, you would be so very proud of me. I ate all sorts of sea creatures with eyes this week. The clam and shrimp wasn´t too bad, and the oyster kind of slid down the gullet...I took a picture so I´ll send it to you hopefully next week. It was good because of the rice and soup in which it was prepared. I felt very like the walrus and the carpenter whose great friends the oysters didn´t answer because "they´d eaten every one." Yep, so that´s my great literary genius for today...stolen as it were.
Love you...Happy birthday to everyone...
