Elder Wanlass and Elder Zanni (the APs) were knocking doors in what they thought was their area and found these two old people and taught them. Later at district meeting, they talked about how this couple was their miracle for the week and mentioned their names were António and Lídia. Well turns out... they were knocking in our area and taught our investigators that we've been trying to get in contact with for a while. Soo that was a little awkward to tell them.
We got in contact with Henrique and Lídia from last transfer. THEY ARE AMAZING!! And when we walked in the house, their dog, Mini, got a little too excited and peed on me when she sat on my lap... And then I didn't have time to change because we had a meeting with the ward mission leader afterward. My luck.
Saturday morning we were contacting people like crazy on the way to an appointment when we accidentally contact a Jehovah's Witness and I gave her a card with the Book of Mormon on it. If ya'll know anything about JWs, they always come up to us in the streets and try to argue with us saying that the name of God is Jehovah and I doesn't matter what we say because they will always just argue. So she says, "You know your book has the name of Jehovah in it, right?" And I was like, "Yup! It's Christ, isn't it?" And then she accidentally said, "Exactly!" Then she realized what she had said and tried to make up for it but by then we had already thanked her for her time and started contacting the next person. Then later, we contacted a person in a giant Mini Mouse costume. THEN we accidentally contacted a return missionary who served in Matosinhos who just happened to serve with my cousin when she served here. Sister Andrade. She was soo adorable and she was a little lost so we helped her get around Matosinhos. Small world.
ALSO, our members are AMAZING! We've been going to the members' homes to invited them to invite their friends to this giant activity we're having this Saturday with President Amorim. We went to one member's home and she expressed her desire to share the Gospel but her doubts about whether her friends will accept. We shared some scriptures to help her out and then she said, "OH! I know what we'll do! We will all fast together this weekend and pray so that I can find 5 people to invite!" So then on Saturday, we went over for lunch and we all kneeled together to start our fast. The Spirit was so sweet as we listened to a member who truly wanted to share the Gospel ask Heavenly Father for help. THE MEMBERS HERE ARE AMAZING!
Love you all!
Sister Hillam
