Wow, time just keeps on flying. I can´t believe its already another pday! Last pday being the first of the month, we went to the Lisbon Zoo. It was pretty cool. The best part was that they had a dolphin and seal show that was really good. I got ´´kissed´´ by a seal! More of a head-butt, but it was neat :) I always get a little depressed at zoos becuase the animals are jsut stuck in cages, but it was still good. They had elephants, white tigers, rhinoceras, and lots more. IT´s interesting to see Lisboa from the perspective of a tourist and the things that are here to do.
This week was good, but went really quick and I can´t really think of anything spectacular to write about. We saw a lot of littles miracles here, which is always gratifying. We marked one of our pesquisadors, Pedro, to be baptized next week, so I hope that everything continues to go well with him. What else..? I can´t really remember much. We made a BOATLOAD of chocolate chip cookies because we made cookies for practically the whole ward; we made little goodie things with cookies and a note to show our love and appreciation, hopefully to help unite the ward!
Really nothing huge happened, just lots of small miracles. A less-active member contacted us in the rua, and we passed by his house. Another less-active that has recently started to return decided that she wants to quit smoking, a man contacted us on the bus, we found a family of 5 siblings from Guiné that are really neat, and lots of other small things that really are miracles to me. I am so grateful for the mercy of God! It is really easy to miss everything that He gives us, but if we just stay with eyes open and searching, the evidence is everywhere of the love and concern that he had for us.
I know that God loves me and you! He wants us to be happy and successful here, and most improtantly have united and happy families that will be eternal. This is His plan!!! And He already marked the way for us to follow....
