Hello Everyone!
This week was awesome!
Me and Sister Gutierrez did so much this week! We went to
Foz do Douro for a division with the sisters serving there. Foz is BEAUTIFUL!
(Makes sense, it´s right by Porto, which is gorgeous.) Especially right by the
beach, it kind reminds me of Coney Island or something like that.
We had the amazing
opportunity to have a division with Sister Mauricio and Sister Carroll. Sister
Gutierrez really felt she should go with Sister Mauricio, and I really felt
that I should´ve gone with Sister Carroll, so it was perfect because the spirit
really did guide us to that decision. We split up foz and talked to
everyone! We experienced so many tiny
miracles and found lots of people who were interested in listening. Overall, it
was a great division, and we all felt the spirit abundantly. I love those
sisters so much!
Oh my goodness. When
we were on our way back home, we went to the Porto São Bento train station...
The most beautiful thing I’ve ever seen! Google it. Google it right now. 9
months living in Portugal, and I’m still in awe. And everything in Porto is
just gorgeous...
I´ve been having
weird allergic reactions the the pollen in the north lately. Sometimes my lip
swells up twice its size. And in Foz my hand blew up: It was great! But I
bought allergy medicine, and it´s all good now.
We had a lesson with Silvina,
Mimi, and Malaika (the family from Mozambique) and they also went to church
this week. Silvina kept saying "all of it just makes sense! Every time I
come into a class or lesson, I just feel really good and I feel like all of
this is true!" They read the BOM everyday, and Silvina is always going on
the church website. THEY LISTEN TO THE MOTAB! They are so amazing. We just love
them and we really try to stress eternal families with them. They are so
special and they truly were prepared by the Lord to receive this message.
This week in Braga
was also great! We felt ourselves being guided to find those prepared for the
gospel, and we have found so many! It feels like I feel so much love for so
many of the people I meet and we really want them to accept this! It´s kind of
funny how on the mission, you get so used to these experiences that it seems so
weird that you lived your life in any other way. When we are worthy to have the
spirit with us and constantly try to repent, the impressions of the spirit are
so strong and you know that it´s undeniably the spirit taking to you. I love
the opportunity I have to be an instrument in the hands of the Lord. I love the
mission! And I love my companion. We are constantly trying to better ourselves
and be the best versions of ourselves that we can be. It´s really hard, but
we´re working to make immediate progress, even if it´s a little.
Well, that was the
best of my week in a nutshell. Hope you all have a great week, love you!!!!!
Love,
Sister Mancuso
