One more AMAZING Week in Coimbra, June, 2010

So I know that y'all have been dying for some pictures lately, and since my mother has been so kind as to send me a battery charger for my camera I can now take pictures once again!
This was one more amazing week come and gone, and sometimes I feel like I go home after doing Internet and the next day is p-day and so I get to come back here and do Internet again! The Lord is blessing us with a ton of success here in Coimbra. Irma Bateman, Ju, Rosi,and me. Ju is a member here that we know and love very well. She just got back from serving a mission for one transfer in the Lisbon mission and this is the first time we saw here...long story there, but we love her and her mom so much and she helps us so much in what we do and has a super lover for missionary work.

These are some sweets that Felizbella gave to us, they are kind of mysterious but SO GOOD! I want to have her bring me some from her daughters town so that I can bring some to you. You would all probably hop on the earliest plane to Portugal If I do just so you can have some more:)

The Lord is blessing us with a ton of success her in Coimbra. This week we marked Felizbella and Maria for baptism and they both came to church along with Joana. I think we could maybe mark Joana this week but we will have to see! I have been so blessed as a missionary and even though we can always do more and better it's good to work hard your whole mission and get to the end and see some fruits of your labors and to go out with a bang.

Me and our Assistant that is going home, Elder Sachue. Mostly I think the Brazilian accent is kind of ugly, but his is so cool because he lives in Central Brazil. One of the best missionaries I have ever met by far. So Cool.

This week has been super rainy but it is supposed to be warming up. World cup started this week to and it just stinks because the city dies when there are games on. Not that great of days for proselyting.

The elders had a baptism yesterday of a 12 year old boy named Deodato, it was really good. We work so closely with the elders that when they see success we are just as happy. I love Coimbra, this is by far the most unified district that I have served in and I love it. It's amazing what you can do when you all stick together.

Me and Irma Bateman eating some pao de agua, which is some of my favorite bread that I have found here in Portugal. The bread here is by far my favorite thing, I think its even better than the chocolate!!! Okay, they're even.

I know you all want details but I cant really think of much else...God is good. He loves us. He wants us to come unto Him. I feel like my testimony of the Prophet Joseph Smith and the Restoration has grown a ton this week, about the work that he did and that how a small boy in a grove of trees changed the world forever. The church is true and it's not going anywhere, and it's a privilege to be taking a part in the events that are leading up to the second coming of our Savior.

I hope you all have a great and safe week, and for those of you who are counting down the days(you know who you are!) don't get to Trunkey, okay?

Love you! Irma Egbert.
