hey everyone,
what is up? Not much has been going on here in Guimarães. We are just trying to find the elect and teach them. haha But it´s fun and I meet all sorts of weird people here in Portugal. I guess that´s what happens when you have a dictator for 40 years and runs the country into the ground haha But they are making a semi comback.
So, we had dinner with a member family. It was the parents and their nonmember friends, the member´s daughter and her nonmember husband. So we get there and no one is really talking to us. And their nonmember friends are drinking alcohol provided by the members, so they are getting drunk. And I wasn´t too hungry because of the heat all day, so I didn´t eat too much, but she kept asking if I was hungry but I would take a little more until I could not eat anymore. So they bring out desert and it´s some cholocate pudding kinda stuff. we take a bite of it and it has coffee in it. So I asked if it had coffee in it and they said yes but it was decaff. Which is another thing members have wrong, it´s not the caffeine in the stuff that makes it bad. So I said we wouldn´t eat it because it had coffee. And they started talking about us but they were talking fast so I didn´t understand it all. But they kept eating it right in front of us. And the member lady looked really pissed at me and angry. And they made us hurry through the lesson, and the Spirit wasn´t there and I could barely speak Portuguese and it was just bad. And then their drunks friends wanted to take us home... But luckily the member drove us home. But yeah I don´t think we are going to get invited over there anymore haha.
Anyways I love and miss you guys. Keep sending letters and photos of the kids. And make sure they don´t forget who I am.
Love,
