Ola família!
So not much happened this week. It was one of those crawling weeks. Mostly we just met with Marta. But a couple of fun things happened.
Turns out one of the less active members is in the mental hospital, so we visited her. It was not as weird as I expected. We sang some hymns with her and said a little prayer. And then the nurse asked if he could come to church. And as we were leaving the Spirit was like "Good job sisters". It was wonderful.
The other night we had a dinner with one of the members, Suzanah. She is from Finland, and speaks English but only a little bit of Portuguese so church is hard for her. But we are her friends now. Anyway, she made the best dinner I have had in Portugal--tacos! We were started the meal and realized the salsa jar wasn´t opened. It was jsut us three, since her husband was at work. But we thought we could open it. We tried and tried. Sister Warburton and I tried together. We used a towel. We ran it under hot water. We peeled off the label. And, nothing. The lid wouldn´t budge, even after 10 minutes. We were, of course, slightly crestfallen at the thought of salsa-less tacos, so we decided to give it one more crack. Sister Warburton said a quick prayer first, "Heavenly Father, we are going to try to open this salsa jar, but we really need your help. In the name of Jesus Christ, amen". And so we gave it one more try. We grabbed the lid, twisted, and... pop! It came off as easy as anything! "Ask, and it shall be opened unto you...."
Also: Deal of the week at Pingo Doce: Buy one pig foot and get a free umbrella!
Besides that, the only things exciting that have been happening are in our digestive system. We´ve had some strange meals given to us... If you were wondering, your instestines CAN do backflips.
Yep. That´s about it. Sister Warburton and I really love this video https://www.lds.org/youth/theme/2014?lang=eng
I hope you are all having good weeks. I love you lots and pray for you too!
Love,
Sister Gidney
