WEEK 47 Great Week November 12, 2018 Hey everyone! Well I could say it was a good week, but it was one of the lower weeks I had! It had some high points at least though. I mean life is good though and I'm for the most part healthy! I might as well go right in to the week.  6 de Nov, The day started off awesome! We got a call from Irmao Mario because he was sick and needed a blessing. We went there and gave a blessing. It's super cool to think that I can do it in Portuguese sem problemas. That was cool and then we shared a message from DC Ch104 V82. " And inasmuch as ye are  humble  and faithful and  call  upon my name, behold, I will give you the  victory ."  Great verse, great promise. That was basically the highlight of the day. In the afternoon I had to go to the Dr.'s for some random checkup thingy. 7 de Nov, We got a call from some sisters in the morning with a lessons planned for us at 5pm! We already had a lesson planned at 4pm a...

Love the dude so much and I know he's killin it out in Madagascar. 19 has never looked so good haha. But it was another solid week out here in Porto. Especially since my comp's foot got better by the end of the week! But we still stayed in the house a bit because Elder Jardine still had to rest his foot, so he didn't re-hurt it. Other than that, my week includes a sushi buffet, and gettin rekt a lot. Oct 30th, Basically another day in the house chillin. At 7 we left with the Senior missionaries (they picked us up) and we met up with Natalina. We basically just read an excerpt from the Book of Enos, so that was great. Then we went home and Elder Jardine rested his foot. Oct 31st, Happy Halloween homies. Honestly the most dead Halloween I've ever seen. Nobody in Europe actually celebrates Halloween. And...
