Transfers

Well transfers were unexpected this time. We were almost positive that Sister Mavy would stay and that I would leave but NOPE! I'm staying in São João da Madeira and I'll be training Sister Bushman who's coming from Coimbra! Sister Mavy will be going to Porto which thank goodness isn't too far away from me. Man. I'll miss that girl. 

So this past week was a little more on the rough side! Both Sister Mavy and I got super sick.. I don't know what it is about São João but we get sick so much here! But let's just say that I'm sick of being inside the house now.. Even if it's pouring outside! 

Elder Leimer from the Seventy came for a mission tour! It was so amazing! They talked about recognizing the Spirit and their stories were amazing!! I wrote it all down thankfully because I really can't remember anything right now.. BUT we were definitely all recognizing the Spirit in that meeting!

Oh it was Sister Mavy's birthday on Saturday!! We were sick which was lame but the elders told us to come to the chapel at 7pm because they wanted to give her a cake but when we got there, the members were there with cakes to wish her happy birthday! It was so cute!! We really have the best branch ever here! 

Also, update on Sónia. We learned that she actually has a lot of mental problems and was admitted into a hospital. Yeah that was sad news.. But she told us that she was going to take the Book of Mormon and all the pamphlets that we left with her to the hospital. She's so golden but now just isn't the time :(

Well, it was a great week though! Love you all!!
