I've finished 4 months here in Abrantes and 5 months in mission and now we have a transfer and I'm going. I'm being transfered to Feira de Santana and I leave tomorrow. I will miss Abrantes because of the people, the members, I spent a lot of time remembering places, schedules of everyone, and I finally learned our own phone number! (not that it matters anymore😅) I will also miss the giant Pastel of Abrantes which is soooo delicious! 😋 Also, funny enough, this last week Elder Barros and I are together we finally found out to get along and now we are good friends! We went to the dunes of Jauá last week for P-day which I already sent pictures for, and today I will be packing my bags in preperation for tomorrow. The person I think will miss me the most here will be Victor, the boy we baptized the first week I arrived, we've had 4 months of playing together and reading scriptures and stuff like this and we are good friends. We were practicing our articles of faith the other day, him to learn what they are and me to learn them in portuguese, so we will spend the afternoon today in their house saying goodbye and such. I will miss their whole family, they have come so far from not knowing the gospel to receiving callings and started saving money to go to the temple in a year, its so cool to the lives of their family change and they all are so happy and talk about how greatful they are for the knowledge of the truth. I'm so happy for them and the peace and happiness they were looking for in their lives. I'm sad to leave, but happy experiences like this happened. And I'm excited for more in my next area! The pictures are of the minion USB that a member gave Elder B. Costa and I a few weeks back. Also the portable speaker I bought to play the music that the secreterys of mission filled my usb with music. And also me at my english class; I didn't realize how much portuguese you have to know to explain english to portuguese speakers, but I did it! The elder that will replace me is american so he can continue the class if he wants. And lastly, a picture of the sunset because... why not? and its beautiful, but way more beautiful in person. I think thats all for now, Love you people, and keep up the good work!
