Well, another day of stressful waitful for ´the call´ has come and gone. My and my companion live in a house with another dupla of irmãs, one of whom finished her mission today. The other was transfered as well, so they both went embora. We got a call that we would be staying together, and that another irmá would be coming, and as a tripla we would cover both of the areas. But about half an hour later we got another call, and my daughter (companion) was told that she has a new calling, to be the only sister in the other area (Miratejo). She doesn´t have a companion! She will have to do constant divisions com membros, and plan and teach by herself and with them, and this is her second transfer! She is really freaked out (I would be too!), but I´ve been trying to help keep her calm at least! Things never goes like you think they will in the mission (or life também!) I´ll still be serving in Almada, with irmã Alves, who is portuguese\french. At least my portuguese should keep improving! :D

Yesterday we had some different and interesting experiences. We have been working a lot with Monica, a less active that started going to church two weeks ago after 9 years of not going. She has a lot of desire to go to church, but due to health and other problems she hadn´t gone in forever. She has cancer in her head\brain, and takes a lot of medications. Yesterday she didn´t go to church because she was so tired, and so we asked two priesthood holders to go with us to give her a preisthood blessing. They gave her a blessing, and promised that she would be completely healed from the cancer. The power of the priesthood was so evident, it was really neat! I am so grateful for the priesthood and for worthy holders who can call on the powers of heaven. After we visited her, we went to visit our recent-converso, João. When we got there, the door was open, with the keys on the floor, and we could see João lying in the other room (that was dark), abd he didn´t respond to our knocks or calls (Irmã de Almeida was scared to enter, so we just called from the door!). So our noble priesthood brethren went with us, and it turned out that João (who has had problems with health), had pains so bad that he was in a deep sleep and couldn´t wake up and move. They gave him a blessing of healing too. He also was confirmed yesterday. It is so interesting to hear the blessing of those who are confirmed in sacrament meeting. Often the bispo doesn´t know all the problems or history the people that he confirms, but I can see how each blessing is individual and aplicable to each of them. I love the priesthood!! God truly does miracles and manifests his power through those he calls and ordains through the priesthood.
