It's a New Year and I am soo excited to start this year! And to start the year, I'm in a trio!! Just for two weeks but it's so much fun!! It's definitely a little weird to get used to but I'm grateful for the experience!
We had a week of miracles!! We found 16 new investigators and they were all families!!! It was SO AMAZING!! Funny story with one of these families... A week ago, S. Mavy and I were in an area super far away and decided to take the train for the first time. So we're waiting where we thought the train would stop. It doesn't.. So we have about 15 minutes until the last train will pass again so we run to some random house and knock. A family opens the door and we ask them where to go, we quickly say thank you, and then run ON THE TRAIN TRACKS to the station IN THE PITCH BLACK and the train was going to get there IN A FEW MINUTES!! Definitely a scary point on the mission... But everything worked out and now we take the train all the time :) So fast forward a week, we return there and tell them thank you and they let us in to teach them. Turns out Julieta, the mom, already knows the church and has a Book of Mormon. She recognized us as missionaries last week and searched through her house for the book and read part of it. They are a PERFECT FAMILY! They will definitely be baptized!! There is no such thing as coincidences!!
I'm so grateful for the opportunity to serve a mission! Portugal is AMAZING! And I can't imagine going home! I only have about 10 months left and it freaks me out to think about it!! They'll have to drag me onto that plane!!
Have a great week and a great new year!!!
Love,
Sister Hillam
