WELL HEY THERE oh i just saw its on caps lock haha. anyways how are you. everything is going great over here. transfers happened and i was the last call of transfers so nothing happened. me and elder peck get to stay together. it makes me happy cuz i remember when i got separated from my trainer after the first transfer and that really stunk. so it should be really fun plus we have some good stuff going on in our area that im way excited about. so thats good as for the weather around here it hasnt been to bad. we are wearing just shirts now so its starting to heat up. last week it rained a little but nothing to crazy. im not super excited for the summer to come but then that means im coming home. wow- sounds like everything is going great with you guys and your having fun like always. but ya as for this week. it was pretty good. we havent talked with eduardo again since his girl left but hopefully we can get something started with him that would be cool. but we had two lessons with nani and armindo. they are doing good and they are slowly getting it. im hoping that we can mark them for a baptismal date here soon which would be awesome. unfortunately they couldnt make it to church this week but they had a good excuse. but she is so nice and we say shes like our mom here in portugal. she feeds us a ton everytime we go over there and is just the nicest lady. so pray for them that they will accept a date and go through with it. and we did meet with armenio and his girlfriend priscila as well. it was a pretty fun lesson. she just had a bunch of questions that she asked and then we just answered them using the scriptures it was cool. i like doing that its fun and i think she liked it and said our answers were clear and helped her. and i laughed a little when you said goin to church is half the battle here that is the battle pretty much haha we had a lesson with nani and her son came over and ate dinner with us he is a way nice kid and is suffering a little bit of depression so we gave him a blessing of comfort. it was really cool afterwards nani said that something changed in his appearance after that made him feel lighter and happier like he was a member of our church for a lot of years is what she said. so that was a neat experience and i hope it helps her know this church is true. what a priviledge to hold the priesthood. lets see nothing too crazy happened this week. we had some more lessons with our less active nuno and he is doing really good. just that hes not coming to church. he is a way nice guy though and we had dinner with his family as well. it went really well and im hoping we can start teaching his wife. so ya thats pretty much it thanks a bunch for everything and all your love and support. i hope you guys have a great day and a great week. keep strong in reading and help the missionaries out. they need it. well i love you and thanks again for being awesome parents love elder abreu
