Greetings from Cacem

So Im here in Cacém now. Its a cool area, it reminds me of Barreiro, but a little nicer. Theres a high african population here. And in my ward I have President Martins, his wife and 2 of his sons, Daniel and Simão. Its cool getting to know a family better that my dad knew. I dont know if he really even knew Simão. And if he knew Daniel, he would have been just a little kid. Also Ive met some other members that knew my dad, so its pretty cool.
Some other good news, I walked into 2 baptisms! haha. A mom and son, the dad is already a member. They are a really cool family and its fun helping them get accostomed to church, and doing family night and family prayer and stuff. theyre names are Eneida and Yuri.
Theres also quite a few investigators here that are cool. We are teaching a guy from Iran, that seems really promising. Except cuz hes muslim, he has to have an interview with Pres Terry before we can really continue progressing with him.
Oh and this week, a funny story happened. We were passing by potential investigators and we were entering a house and there was a lady smoking infront of one of the appartments we were going into. I started trying to talk to her but she didnt want anything and was very vocal about it, didnt even let me talk. Wouldnt even accept a pass along card So we just left it and went into the apparment and knocked on the door of the potential investigator, they werent home. Well we left the building and there were some people loading a couch into a truck. We asked if they needed help and a voice said they did. I looked around and it was the rude lady that was smoking infront of the building. So we told them we could help move and she was happy about it. The 2 guys that were there werent too happy about it and were like "the furniture is really heavy, i dont know if you really want too" i told them that we do exercises every morning and we would love to help." so we ended up helping these people move, from the 5th floor. it was cool. And at the end, we gave them a passalong card! so, sometimes it just takes a little more work to do the work of the lord haha.
Oh and good news, theres a japanese restarant in my district! we went there yesterday! it was good :D
Long live Japan! ahha
