May Departures

It's always hard to send our missionaries home after giving their all to the Portugal Porto Mission.  We bid fond farewell to 5 of our wonderful missionaries as they move on to the next phase of their lives!

May Arrivals

Our May arrivals seem to be adjusting quite well.  They include Elder Ellsworth, Elder Sanchez, and Irma Anderson.  We are looking forward to good work and lots of success from these three!

Missionary Comings and Goings

We were so excited to finally receive 2 new cars for our mission.  Now all the zone leaders will be able to get around their areas to check on their districts and missionaries!

President Kopischke Mission Tour

President Kopischke toured the whole Porto Mission at the end of April and we were grateful for his words of wisdom and counsel!!  We did lots of role plays and listened to him use the scriptures as we have never seen used before!

Madeira Hike to 25 Waterfalls

This Preparation Day the missionaries on Madeira planned a fairly easy hike to 25 Waterfalls.  It was beautiful, but it poured for most of the hike.  You just can't get a bad photo on Madeira!

Augusto's Baptism

Elder Petitt was able to come back to Gaia 2 to baptize Augusto.  Baptisms are one of the true joys of missionary work!

The Unusual Life of a Missionary

Little did Elders Middleton, McLaughlan, and Sprunt realize that part of their duties included keeping babies happy while their parents visited at the mission home!
