So, we´ve been having a great time...I love what I'm doing. We had a great experience yesterday: we were working in Valadares, which is out of our area and we only know a limited number of people. We had a space of time that we tried to fill, but it just wouldn´t work with any of our known ways. It ended up that at that hour (about 3:00pm) we had not yet eated lunch and so we went in search for a cafe that was not absolutely filled with drunken men watching the world cup game between Portugal and Mexico and that would serve us lunch. We passed quite a few and we´re about to despair, but then happened upon 'Mommy's Cafe' and it looked well-lit, clean and like it might work. Our hostess noted our accent and she began to speak with us in English. Turns out she is from South Africa and is passing a difficult time in her life at the age of 45. She has ideas about life that are very correct and is looking for the truth. Anyway, it was our immense pleasure during our lunch to talk with her about the Book of Mormon and the joy that it brings to our lives. Also about the guidance and direction we have as a result of a living prophet. It was a great conversation and we left a copy of the Book of Mormon with her. When we passed the cafe on our way home it appeared to me that she was reading. She is such a darling woman! I am so glad that the Lord was able to place us in her path so that she could have the help and direction that she needs to encounter the difficulties in her life. I know that this is the Lord's work and am so grateful for His grace in letting me be a small part.
Ótimo! Estou entusiamada que recebeste a minha pacote. Gostaste daquelas coisas metidas lá dentro? Espero que sejam úteis para ti. As vezes esta obra é um pouco dura, mas é também gratificante mesmo. É uma grande pena que O Brasil não vai ganhar o Mundial...mas traz me algeria para saber que vai ser O Portugal até o fim! Vive Portugal! Tens aquele puzzel do plano de salvação? Se não eu vou te mandar o meu quando eu acabar, se sim darei para alguem aqui. Porta-te bem! Fiques feliz!
Love you all!
