Well, one more week sped by and we´re already approaching April! Every time I look at the calendar (that´s every day with planning!) I get scared :P But this last week was a good one.

On Saturday we had the baptism of Alberto, who we had marked the week before. He´s older (about 60), but he´s such a good-hearted and happy-go-lucky guy, it was awesome to see him in white! And Walkidi, who was baptized in December, preformed his first baptism, which was soo awesome to see :D I love them both so much, and it was a really good experience, although not many members came to support him, which is always frustrating...but step by step we´ll get where we want to be! But it was a great week to see Alberto progressing and really applying the principles of the gospel! I love seeing the changes in people as they learn and live the gospel.

This week we also marked two girls for baptism this next Sunday...I love this family. It´s a single mom with 4 kids, from Cabo Verde, and they are so amazing! The mom doesn´t have much time to meet with us, but reads the Book of Mormon on her commute to Lisboa. We´ve been teaching the two older kids (13 and 10) regularly, and I love them!! There is a 3yrold girl that talks the most I´ve ever met! And she talks like an adult...a lot better than our Portugues :P The three girls went to church yesterday, which was awesome. We also had some other miracles\blessing of people coming to church...

we´ve been teaching 2 kids (11 and 9) that are part of a huge family but only they have interest and time (the mom has interest but ALWAYS works...it´s amazing). We had already invited them to be baptized, but the mom wanted them to wait. So we´re trying to help them be more self-reliant and indepentant with the gospel...reading, going to church etc. So yesterday we had told them that they needed to go to church alone, that we couldn´t pick them up and go with them. They live about 20 minutes from the church, which is quite a hike for two little kids. BUT, they came alone!!!!!!!! I was so happy for them, because if they can manage to go to things alone they will be able to progress notwithstanding the support (or lack of) in their family. So that was a little miracle :)

Also, I was sitting at the piano playing the hymns when I saw two people walk in that were two investigators that I hadn´t talked to in a month! They came recently from Brasil and started working all the time (a common case here, mesmo). But yesterday they didn´t have work and came by themselves!! That was a miracle too, and a really good sign of genuine interest :) It´s interesting how we found them- we had contacted a family, and a few times later when we passed by these friends have just arrived from Brasil. The woman came to church the next Sunday...it´s cool how we find people through other people that we have contacted- there is a purpose for everything!

I am so excited for Conference this week!!!! It´s just a little sad because we don´t have as much time to work, but so worth it!! I love hearing the words of the living prophets, and the counsel and teaching that we need to apply especially now. I love that all of our questiosn can be answered :D It´s so amazing to me that we have living prophets, seers, and revelators that reveal the will and words of God to us! To know this is a huge blessing in my life that makes all the difference.
