Well, we've had a good week. Irmã Karren is cool and we get along great together. We are great friends and also like working, so it works really well. One really cool thing about her...she speaks chinese. For that mere fact alone she gained all sorts of respect points. She taught English in China for 14 months and so although she cannot express every little thing she wants to say, she can understand and communicate actually quite well. I wouldn't know, but that's what the two chinese girls in the store said, who are excited about reading the chinese book of mormon we gave them. It is really awesome because there are so many chinese here who run their little stores and now we can talk to them. Most of them understand portuguese very well, but the fact that we can communicate in their own language makes a huge difference in the way they respond to us. Hopefully this weekend or next we will be able to attend their little church meeting. There is a group of Chinese Christians here in Braga and they have church services on Sunday nights. We're really excited. Oh, and I have a chinese name now..ke fang fang ...which means something like happy flower ou assim.
Yep, and there are tons of things going on, it's great to be a servant of the Lord because He always has something going on, never a dull moment in His service, especially when your heart is truly and fully dedicated to Him, which is what we are working on.
As melhores o irmãozinho! Felizemente não passamos mal esta vez no jejum então ainda estamos vivas e tudo. A última vez foi um pouco assustador ao entrar em shock (ou quase). O próximo dia eu estava com febre porque o meu corpo não tinha aqua suficiente para regular a temperatura e estave muito quente fora. Paciência, o que não nos mata, ajuda-nos crescer. Não é? Então, basicamente é tudo.
So, love you all and pray for your continued happiness (which you and I both know is to be found in the gospel of Jesus Christ)
