This week was great. Carlos is doing great and progressing well. We are trying to help stop smoking. He wants to. He works crazy hours as a security guard at a milk factory, who knew? So it's really hard to keep in touch with him and give support in this crucial time. We'll continue to work with him and do our best. The Lord has already blessed him. He just needs to overcome his trial of faith.
Patricia is a wife of a member. She smokes but she wants to have an eternal family. We are working with them to stop smoking and be baptized. We had a really funny experience this week on Wednesday. We had a dinner appointment (which is really a miracle in it's own respects here), that fell through which was really sad but we felt that we needed to go to Paulo Tavares to talk with him about his wife Patricia. We dropped everything, (mostly because the member canceled on us) and we went there. When we got there Paulo asked us if we could stay for dinner (talk about following the spirit, one dinner cancelled another gained, what an emotional roller coasters). They made really good chicken BBQ.
President and Sister Tavares had a farewell conference with us in the Azores on Thursday. It was great seeing them one last time. They have helped so much and will miss them immensely. They have taught me a lot. I hope I can stay in touch with them. The church is true, we have leaders who are inspired by god, I know that President Fillmore is called of God and will do a great job as mission President.
