FIrst Email of 2014!!!!

okay everyone back home CALM. IT. DOWN. seriously.....too many weddings and babies I am missing out on and I'm not into it. i mean congrats and everything but sloowwww it down. or at least just send me pictures.
HAPPY NEW YEAR. Me and Azzy celebrated with the 2 person party pack from the local supermarket. and we asked the worker for the "champagne for kids"..... he led us down the liquor aisle to a bottle with cartoon children on it, so i think we're good. no more word of wizzdom probs out hurr. after plannin that night we stayed up till midnight, started poppin' bottles. got champagne showered, twice.. and partied hard. what up 2014.
Sorryboutit but this ones gonna be a little short cause i gotta spend time writing prez and asking him to stay in Coimbra. I LOVE IT HERE. Seriously sitting in ward council yesterday it just hit me how much I love every single member here. this feels like my home ward and imma cry like a little baby when I have to leave it. Plus I feel like I have so much more work left to do here. I hope the big man upstairs is feelin the same way.
So last week we hit Wednesday and the running total for the week of member present lessons was 0. big fat 0. In the summer our member presents were just always killin it because we had the jovens out of school and they'd come to street contacts with us alllll day, but when school started and the rain came it was a lot harder to get that number up there. Then lately we've been struggling cause everyone went home for the holidays... So wednesday we're sitting at 0 and then we had a zone meeting and training to light the fire. As a mission this month, we dont even have a goal for baptisms.. its a goal for 2,100 member present lessons. That night Bishop Pitarma called us in for a meeting, that dude is inspired. He wanted to meet with us to talk about how we can get the members united and working in this work of salvation. 

We ended the week last night with 11 member presents!! and here's the best part.. that was with multiple members! plus we had other members out working with us too, but the compromisso... k im not trying to be annoying but literally dont remember that word in english.. well lesson i guess? but they fell through, but the members were out and about in the Lord's vineyard. 

EVERYONE go here:
http://www.lds.org/training/wwlt/2013/hastening/members-and-missionaries?lang=eng#media=
and watch the video called Priesthood Duty: Preaching the Gospel
That kid has it figured out.

then remember what our beloved prophet, President Monson, asked of us in the last General Conference.. 

"Now is the time for members and missionaries to come together, to work together, to labor in the Lord's vineyard to bring souls unto Him. He has prepared the means for us to share the gospel in a multitude of ways, and He will assist us in our labors if we will act in faith to fulfill His work." 

NOW is the time. Members get out there! Follow Hectors example e abri sua boca!!! fala com todo mundo sobre o evangelho maravilhosa. open your mouth and talk to everyone about this wonderful gospel. 

Sei que esta igreja é o evangelho restaurado. Sou tão grato para star ca em Portugal pra pregar isso por todo mundo. Sei que Cristo vive e Ele nos ama. Sei que o evangleho traz mais felicidade de minha vida de qualquer outra coisa. 

LOVE and MISS you all. get to work. feed the missionaries. party hard.
love, sister dumas.
