Time goes by... I look back and think.. wow.

Well... I guess this was a really great week. 

I cleaned our house on tuesday right before we had inspections. It took about 4 hours. 1 Bottle of bleach. 4 towels. and lotso f yelling at the other 3 Elders to do work :P

OUr whole house was a wreck (since I got there it was,a nd we have NO time todeep clean) so I was super happy to clean it all out! Our inspectors got there and it was the couple that was serving with me in Beja! :D So they were like... Elder BRooksby.. Did you clean the whole house? (Because they know me..) and I was like... Noo... Elder Lee organised the books on that shelf! hahahaha and Elder Lee was like... Grinning he was so proud hahahahahahahahaha.

It was good.

This week in Coimbra there was this party thing that last 3 days and on the last day is free beer and food. We were pretty restricted in the work we could do..... (My ideas of preaching on rooftops were shot down... :( )

Haha but we still had a great week! The HIGHLIGHT was as you see the baptism of xxxx! The coolest kid I have meet here on the mission. He prayed last saturday that Heavenly Father would give him more understanding to be able to memorise all the scriptures so he could be an Elder some day! 

Weve been seeing some great changes in the lives of people too. 

We had a pretty sacred exp here.

The first day when I got here in Coimbra we went to visit a recent convert, as we entered the house I felt SUPER strong all the sudden and after talking with her a while we discovered that she needed a new work. Really badly.

We shared a scripture about when we ask Heavenly Father for help and with faith, obeying his commandments, He WILL help us.

Before leaving I felt powerfully to kneel and say the last prayer. I offered up the faith of those in the room and asked my Father that he would bless this RC with work.

The next week as Elder Lee and I were starving looking for new investigators we said a prayer that we could find something to eat. (we had no money) as we walked I saw a man carring like 100 bags and we offered help. He denied and continued to walk.. then stopped and turened to look at us.

" Do you two want an orange?" he asked. Elder Lee and I look at eachother. then back at the man. "Yes! Thankyou!!" 

A few other exp like that happend as well.

Anyways that day or the next we went to visit this RC, we told her about our exp and testified that she would get her answer.

We got a call this week and answering to a screaming RC "I got a new job!! I get sundays off and it pays really great!!" She was sooo happy! We went and taught a lesson about Jesus Christ the next day... Then I saw her faith jump. I saw her whole countance change. She much like xxxx turned to us and said "I need faith.. I Need Jesus Christ!" She was so happy and I saw the light enter in her soul. That Daughter of God is on her path back home :)

ITS SO COOL!!!

Anyways.

xxxx is awesome. This week we have NOTHING to do... All our investigators are dropped or... dropped.

Anyways. Talk to you all laet!
