This week has been pretty good and when I say pretty good I mean lots of pretty good trials! First, our power went out so most of the food went bad in the fridge and it has rained pretty much all week so now all of my stuff is wet but I actually enjoy the rain. We have a ton of new investigators which is awesome and we have 2 marked for baptism and I am so excited to see them get baptized. One of them was supposed to get baptized this Sunday but she didn't because she was having a bad day. She is a 19 year old girl named Gabriela and she is going through a lot in her life. She recently got pregnant and the dad wants nothing to do with it and she lives with her family in a small apartment and they can't really support a baby right now. She was feeling lost and she never believed in God but she said a prayer one night while she was on a walk and boom! that is when she met us!!! It is crazy how God prepares people. Literally 10 minutes after she said the prayer she found us and she said she wants to get baptized. We have been teaching her all of the lessons and she is loving the gospel and the ward members are super helpful here.
I hope it stops raining so much here because my pants are soaking wet, and my socks are too. Oh well, that's Portugal! Thanks for all of your emails and stuff guys, you're great. Also, the mission rules changed 2 weeks ago so now I can listen to music that is uplifting so all these missionaries are coming out with all the songs that they couldn't play before so that is awesome. Talk to you guys next week!
Love,
Elder Ruggles
