We just returned from our Sunday meetings and it is time to write and express our love for each of you. Mike gave a talk today on the three pillars of the gospel—the creation, the fall and the atonement. He gave a wonderful talk, as usual. I’m hoping for a little more time to adjust to the language here in Portugal before I am asked. We’ll see what happens.
Sister Nelson (from Arizona) and Sister De Sousa (from Brazil) asked us to go with them to visit a family tomorrow night and have Family Home Evening with them. The parents need to get married before the woman can be baptized. I believe that the father and at least one of their children are members already.
We have been investigating a way to get the internet in our apartment since we are just borrowing a device from Miguel. First we have to get a fiscal identification number before we can enter into a contract for the service. Luis, from our bishopric and our office went with us on Friday, but they said we needed to have a representative in order to get one. We will go with the office missionaries to get one, probably sometime this week.
We drove to a beach yesterday and took some pictures. We have a lot of exploring to do on our preparation days. Our GPS doesn’t always cooperate, but luckily we have always found our way back home. On the freeways here there are places where each lane has a different speed limit—50-70-90 kmph. Like Brazil there are lots of turnabouts and speed bumps.
Our supervisor in the PEF program has been gone on vacation and will be back tomorrow. We still have much to learn about our responsibilities, but we are willing and ready!
The gospel is true and we are happy to be serving in whatever way we can. We wish you joy in your families and health to do the things that you enjoy.
Love,
Mom and Dad, Elder & Sister Henry
