well it looks like it's my turn for the blog. Things are going pretty well here in Portugal. I am finally able to understand almost everything unless they start talking about there work or something like that. This past Sunday was a little better also I wasn't quite as nervous but still managed to forget to get the names of the hymns and so I just looked up and said the opening hymn will be number 53. I didn't have to speak this week so that was good because it would have been off the cuff because I didn't have time last week to prepare anything.
So I called the present young woman president to be the new primary president and then found out that the sister that I felt good about being the new young woman president leaves with her husband to go home to their native land for the winter and is only here to work in the summer. So at first I thought that the inspiration was off but then realized it was could she serve not would she serve and she could so I felt better. I have taken the ward list of active sisters and checked off the ones that have callings and that leaves two sisters one that doesn't have the testimony yet to be there every week and the other who is 71 years old.
So Sunday night I received a call from the mission president and explained this to him and with complete sincerity he said I will pray for you to find one. Fast and pray and look at the inactive sister list and make a list of the ones you feel good about, then talk to you branch counsel about them and then go out and visit them and when you come to the one the Lords wants as the young woman president tell her the Lord needs her and the young women need her and if she drinks coffee tell her she needs to quit again and then teach the young women not to use coffee. So I have made my list and now I will visit with the branch counsel and see what they have to say and then more fast and pray then out to find her.
