Not much to fill you in on because I talked to all of you last night for Mother's Day but I will just tell the rest of the world who didn't have the privilege to talk to me. It is funny how much you can miss someone while you are gone but I never thought someone could be missed as much as a mom while one is serving a mission but I am super glad that we get to Skype twice a year! It was awesome seeing your faces and meeting some new ones. Bad news is we won't be doing any more of those Skype calls but the good news is that I will be home in 3 months.
This week we have been trying really hard to find some new people and our district leader is really helpful so he decided to have the whole district work here for a day. We had 6 missionaries in Peniche just contacting everyone and inviting the whole world to be baptized. We had some success and we are still working through the references but it is really nice to see so much support from the district.
We are still teaching Paulo and everything is going really well. He has come to church the last 2 Sundays and he is really liking it. He really is a good man who is very ready to change his life and many decisions he has taken in the past 2 years have really showed that desire to follow Christ. He is marked to be baptized on the 25th of May so if you could all pray for him and that date we would really appreciate it.
On Saturday we had the storm of the century. Rain with 80 mph winds and Peniche being a peninsula got the worst of it. Me and my companion got soaked but we knocked doors and we were able to find some cool people who felt bad about us being soaked in the rain. Other than that the weather was nice.
Well that is all for this week and everything else I already told you guys during the Skype call. Thanks for all the support, it was so nice just to talk to you guys about everything and anything last night, but from here on out it is just emails haha. Love you guys.
Love,
Elder Ruggles
