More people from Coimbra

Alda, Ana Laura e Fabio.

Alda was a single mom from Angola who was going to school in Coimbra. She had a lot of questions about the Book of Mormon and at first it seemed like we were getting no where with her but as time went by and with the help of some wonderful members she started to understand the plan of salvation and the need to be baptized in the church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints. We had so much fun with this family. The kids were so cute and loved when we would come over. We had a game and I don't even know how it started but kids would always hide under their bed and we would have to find before we could start the lesson them and they thought it was the funniest thing in the whole world. We taught all of them how to pray and Ana Laura would always love to pray with our help. It was wonderful when Alda would pray as well and when she would pray during the week and tell us how it went. Alda never made the decision to be baptized while I was there but I hope that she will always remember the message of the Restoration and the Plan of Salvation will stay with her and one day she will be.

Ana Laura wanted to take a picture with our cameras so bad so we let her try it out.

Graca was a recent convert and such a sweetheart. She had to make a big change in her life to be baptized but she did it and she love being a member of the church.
