This week was pretty great! During the beginning of the week we had a couple good lessons and even though we don't have a lot of members we are getting some of them to help in the testifying aspect. They have never done it before so it is kind of shaky but they are getting the hang of it. It is awesome because I have already been seeing it strengthen their testimonies and it's helping the investigator!
Last week I got a call from the office because they needed to renew my residency so I could stay in the country legally. To renew the residency we have to go to Porto for a day and sign papers and take finger prints. Because my residency was about to expire, everyone who came in with me was in the same boat. They did everyone is groups on different days so I wasn't sure who I was going to see in Porto but we got there late Wednesday night after a 3 and a half hour drive and got to the mission home to be greeted by Elder Bianucci. We had not seen each other in about a year and it was so good to see him again. We hung out a little after we did residency and went to an all you can eat pizza hut buffet and it was like good ole times.
This Sunday we had the most people in church that me or my comp have seen here. We had 14 people and one was our investigator P. who loved church and the other was a less active named Panka who has not been to church in over a year! We were way happy to see everyone and the meetings were just happier and everyone was participating.
Today we saw that it was raining and foggy so we decided to hike the nearest mountain to see if we could get above the fog. It kind of worked out and we got into a couple clouds and out of the rain but we got some sick pictures! All in all it was a great week! Love you guys and I love the gospel! Make sure you always read your scriptures!
Love,
Elder Ruggles
