Transfer week always brings unexpected excitement with new companions and new places to live. Every area in this mission has great potential and wonderful members.
The newest members of the Church in our mission have been well prepared and are the elect of the Lord in this area. We are finding so many wonderful people in Portugal!
Missionaries are at their best in the mission field. They have a lot of fun, but they also work extremely hard. Sometimes there are laughs, or injuries, or unexpected joys and miracles in the Lord's work!
We had 10 youth in our mission come to participate in this years mini mission in the Porto area. They were assigned to serve for 3 days with a full-time missionary to see what mission life is really like.
In the space of a few weeks we conducted four zone conferences. It is always fun and inspirational to hear from the leaders of the mission and zones and to get together to share in the spirit of this marvelous work!
We knew things were going to be a little different for our mission when we realized that we had 27 missionaries leaving to go home in the space of 2 weeks. Now that the last group is gone, we're letting the dust settle and moving on in the work here in Portugal. We are left with many faithful and strong missionaries to serve in the Porto Mission.
We were so fortunate to have the first ever EFY in Portugal in the city of Braga. There were over 250 youth from all over this great country that enjoyed a week of fun and inspiration. It was worth all the hard work and effort for the youth to see so many other young members in one place sharing activities and their testimonies with each other.
