As I have been informed by many of you, this Friday I hit my 6 month mark so I guess I am 1/4th done with the mission but who is counting? This week was long and exhausting haha but it was good. We had Stake conference in our chapel and so we had to go and help set up. They didn't have enough chairs in our chapel so they had to get some from Porto. We heard a lot of cool people speak and someone from the Quorum of the Seventy came and he gave a great talk on how the members can work with the missionaries. Hopefully people start helping out a lot now. Then, our mission president and his wife spoke and they did a really good job. We had a couple investigators there and they both loved it. Whatever one of the speakers said really worked because after stake conference was over, one of our investigators who has been investigating for a long time said she wants to get baptized and make her life better so that is super exciting.
Earlier this week we got a call from the zone leaders and they asked if we could go to Castelo Branco to do a baptismal interview which doesn't make sense because they are not in our district and we are pretty far away from them, but we went. It was a 2 1/2 hour bus ride there and their district leader is only an hour away but we don't know what's going on over there, we think they are having some difficulties. We got there and Poston did the interview then we had dinner with a member there and it was way good food. The Elders in Castelo Branco are super sick and it makes me miss 4 elder houses. After dinner we went to the castle on the top of the hill and took some sick pictures. We slept over there and in the morning we got on a bus and went back to our area.
Yesterday after conference we had lunch with the bishop and his family and they are super sick. Bishop is pretty young and he loves playing Playstation so we just talked about cool video games and stuff. Then, we got invited over for dinner by Miguel Silva and he is super sick! He is so funny and they had pancakes and we just joked around about my comp having 3 girlfriends but a lot of the conversation went over his head so I had to translate quite a bit haha. We did some card tricks with them because their daughter loves doing magic and then we went home. I hope we keep having member meals because the members here are super dope. And I am super excited because it looks like we will have 2 baptisms this transfer! Well, that is all for this week guys. Thanks for writing, love you!
Love,
Elder Ruggles
