So we got transfer calls last night... I am staying in Braga! Sister Bollinger and also our district leader are leaving. (I must be good luck because all my district leaders become zone leaders). My new companion is Sister Warburton. She is from England so maybe she will teach me to be a little more cultured.
This week was kind of a roller coaster! We had two people who were supposed to get baptized who ended up running away from us, and then another who we thought wouldn´t, did. So Sol Amor got baptized on Saturday! Sister Bollinger and I contacted him in Center while he was playing the guitar sitting on a fountain. It was just as awkward as it sounds. But he ended up coming to church and now he is a member! (Yes that is really his name).
So I am basically a model for the Church now. Sister Fluckiger called us up on Tuesday and asked us to send her a picture of us entering a pesquisador´s house. So we aquardly had a photoshoot for five minutes. Probably that picture is just for the next Preach My Gospel or something. No big deal.
A pigeon pooped on Sister Bollinger´s ankle on Saturday. We wiped it off with a leaf.
One of the most miraculous moments of the week was on Thursday. Our appointments had fallen through and we didn´t know where to go so we prayerfully decided to pass by a member (recent convert of a little more than a year). When we got to her apartment building. she was sitting outside in her car with her son just looking really upset. We went in with her and had a little lesson and turns out she was having car problems and was really really worried but she said we showed up just when she needed help. We got to comfort her just in the moment she needed.
Oh yesterday in Sacrament meeting it was the primary program. The kids here are sooo cute. There are probably 12 or 15 of them and they all did a great job. It was exactly like america though--every single one forgot to say "In the name of Jesus Christ Amen" so they all had to run back up, hurry and mumble it, and run back to their seat all embarrassed :)
I am excited to stay in Braga one more transfer. This is an awesome area with a great ward and wonderful people.
I hope you are all surviving the snow and that you have a wonderful week! I love you tons!
Com amor,
Sister Gidney
