Sorry I didn't have a lot of time to email but today we went out to an island off the coast of Peniche! It is called Berlenga and it was awesome. I guess I just missed the islands too much but I like Berlenga more than I liked Madeira haha. We got on the boat at 11:30 and it took a whole hour to get there. When we got there we went to a fort and to the lighthouse. The water was super pretty and we had to stay away from the beach to keep ourselves from swimming but maybe one day I will come back and swim! Unfortunately we forgot sunscreen so we got fried but at least I will come back tan!
This week was pretty good. We were finally able to talk with an investigator named Ana who turns out to be super cool. We taught her a little last week and then this week she called us and asked us to help us move some furniture around in her house so we went over and talked to some other people who were helping as well. We met a teen named João who is really cool and funny. We have already taught him twice and he is super excited to come to church and is always excited to read the Book of Mormon with us! We have to limit him to 3 chapters with us because he just wants to keep reading while we are there. I have a lot of faith that he will be baptized soon.
Not a lot else happened this week. I am still not too trunky, and I think I have been pretty constant throughout my whole mission but I can feel the early stages of trunkiness. Haha I still work hard and follow the rules, don't worry. I just think about the boat sometimes and Jake going home but I will be fine. As Justin says, trunkiness is part of the mission haha.
Well thanks for all the love and support, I am glad the package got to you guys and you all liked it! I will write more next week when we have more time! Love you!
Love,
Elder Ruggles
