Olá

this email is going to be a little gimpy, but this week was good. Sadly, we spend about half of it in conferences of one sort or another, but those were great. It's hard to find a good balance in the mission between getting training and studying and such, and actually doing things. I liked the story in conference about a little girl that prayed that her brother's sparrow trap wouldn't work, and told her mom she was sure her prayers would be answered, because after she prayed she kicked that trap all to pieces, that's sort of how a mission is sometimes.

Anyway, Portugal continues to be incredible. We're entering fall, which is a new thing for me. Last time round i had a day of fall before we jumped into rainy winter. Today we're going to go take pictures of lisbon, and hopefully it'll be cool, sometimes day's off are the really boring.

Anyway, like i said, gimpy letter, sorry, but you all have an excellent week and look for opportunities to help missionaries on my behalf, remembering that food is not all they need. Oh, which reminds me, i'm almost out of peanut butter, and i figured out what i would like if there happens to be an early christmas present. I was wishing for slippers, really warm, absurdly comfortable, and idealy rediculous looking slippers. So keep an eye out for something of that sort.

Have a great week,
Amo-vos
