One more week come and gone in beautiful Coimbra Portugal - April 2010

Kadie writes - What a wonderful day and age to be alive, crazy people in the road, volcanoes going off, and earthquakes every other week....could it get any better? I think not! It's weird how safe I feel on the mission, the Lord definitely protects us. The way I'm talking you would think that I had been like assaulted or something, but no, just a thought I was having.
One more week come and gone and I'm tired as a dog once again. We started out this week going to the Lighthouse in Porto (isn't it beautiful?) with the newbie's that just came in. It was a fun but a windy day and I definitely wore the wrong skirt...oops! It was a good time to hang out with president Walton and to reflect on the time that has passed since I had gone to the Light house almost a year ago.Time goes by to fast.
Irma's Egbert, Free, Call, Heier, VanValkenburg, and Cabral.....New elders and trainers.
Sun Set in beautiful Coimbra - Our baptism that was set, she is having some difficulties...she is so amazing and so readily accepting the gospel and wants to go forward. Her daughter is her means of financial support and her daughter decided to threaten her that if she joined the church she would stop helping her out financially. This sweet sister has been crying for about a week straight poor thing but we don't really know what else to do since her daughter lives far away. We have been praying and will probably be doing a fast soon but I'm thinking this is something only the Lord can help with and that He will use it as a way to test our patience. I'm sure it will all turn out just fine. I've seen the hand of the Lord in my Life enough to know that He will always open up a way for us to do what He commands us, exactly how Nephi says it in Nephi 3:7- such a simple scripture but completely true. I Love the work, and I have found in my mission that the Lord has finally made Irma Egbert a little bit more patient. YAY! finally.
I'm still trying to find a good map of Kadie's mission. Porto mission is Northern Portugal.
