well thanks a bunch for the email mother. and yes as you already realized we had that conference monday and tuesday and we just finally got back to our area today. so we are doing some internet real quick and then going to work. well alls i can think of is the conference. i dont even remember what happened last week. haha

um well i guess ill start by talking about president torgan. well wow he is an amazing disciple of christ. he is a man of huge faith and he honestly helped me and i think everyone a ton. he has so much love for us and for president walton. the conference was pretty amazing and i learned so much about being a missionary. his big phrase is fazer a vontade do senhor. which means do the will of the lord. that is all we have to do and do it do it. god has so many things that he wants to do so many people ready in every area to be baptised and we just have to pray and be worthy to receive that revelation and then go do it. it helped me a lot to get refocused 100 percent and finish my mission honorably and working my heart out. after that conference i have no doubt that this year portugal will become the lighthouse of europe and what a privilege it is to be a part of that. i just feel so grateful to the lord for my opportunity to grow and always be learning more.

i will miss president walton a lot but president torgan loves all of us so much and the past two days was a spiritual feast a ind just wow. it was great. looking back i can see how inspired the church and its leaders are this really is the church of god. it was prepared and everything president walton did was necessary and good. now its just going up to the next level and going to fulfill the prophesy. its really cool.

lets see what else this last week. cristiana did come to church finally which was really cool. she seemed to like it and enjoy the service. so we will see what the lords plan is for her. we also had a member bring her grandaughter to church which was awesome. her name is claudia and she is 12 years old. so im not sure how her parents feel about the whole situation but we will talk to vitoria and see if we can start teaching her.

we werent able to get back with fatima. we could only go over there on sunday so unfortunately we had to leave on sunday so we passed earlier but she wasnt there so we will try her this week when we feel we need to. but i just know this week is going to be a good one.

i cant really think right now of anything that happened this past week well anything else. that conference has just filled my head with so much stuff and things that i need/want to do. so ya basically i think thats all for today but next monday im sure ill have tons to write about.

well i love you and thanks for everything have a great day and i will talk to you later

love
