This week was good but it was super long, we had to do a lot of stuff to prepare for the baptism and then at the last minute, everyone bailed on us. The Portuguese members don't understand that we need them so they flake out a lot and just get super lazy haha. This week our numbers kinda sucked because we were super stressed about the baptism but we went and taught that lady Carla a couple times and she is still reading everything that we leave her. She said she wants to be baptized but she wants to see how church is first, so we got her to church on Sunday and she liked it. She also went to the baptism so that was good! This week was super warm so we wore short sleeves. It was the first time I have worn a short sleeve shirt since Oeiras so it has been super nice. It was way nice walking around without a sweater and all, so hopefully it continues to be nice weather.
On Friday I did a division with one of the zone leaders in Coimbra so I went over there to sleep over and it was super fun. I was with Elder Cabral from Cape Verde and his comp went to Viseu! We had a ton of fun and Elder Cabral goes home in a week. He is way good at contacting people and one thing I learned from him is to talk to everyone like they are your best friend. We had a ton of fun and he tries to speak English with me but all he can say is "Blacks" and stuff and he calls our zone "Black Nation" he is super funny!!! On Sunday we had a baptism and it went pretty well despite everyone pulling out last minute but we got her dunked. The ward was there and she had a good experience! It was a blessing to see her baptized because she has been investigating for a long time and finally took the plunge. Transfers are next week so I will let you know if my comp and I stay here together. Love you guys, thanks for everything!
Love,
Elder Ruggles
