Lex and I were called as Young Womens teachers to the South Kensington Branch.
A Portuguese speaking ward.
We knew no Portuguese whatsoever.
We had been residents of London for less than 48 hours,
And we were overwhelmed.
Now,
We can bear our testimonies and sing a song (Firme na Fe, check it out) in Portuguese.
We've given a couple lessons,
And we've met some of the most humble and faithful people this world has to offer.
The Portuguese people loved us from the instant we walked in the door.
They opened their arms and welcomed us into the unfamiliar city of London.
We began to love them like they loved us.
These people are so amazing.
They have so much faith and a light that I've yet to see in anyone else.
I'm so grateful for my experience in the ward,
And for how much they helped my testimony grow.
Last Sunday was our last time in the ward.
I miss those girls so very much.
And I'm so grateful for all I've learned.
So,
On being Portuguese,
It's not bad at all.

Our 2nd Counselor (Bruna), our President (Karla), and our 1st Counselor (Divina).
