MEMBER MEALS AND NOVOS AND BED BUGS

What up friends and fam!! Another week down here in Porto 1B and it was another rockin one AS ALWAYS. Man are we blessed here in the great city of Porto. This was another one of those look-back-one-the-week-and-not-be-able-to-even-deal-with-how-many-blessings-we-have weeks. One of those member meals with references and happiness kind of weeks. Lets see hereeeeee
   - First off, as you can tell by the subject line, we had a fun little adventure with a few friends. Lets just say that I have been noticing some hives on my body for a while now and then they started getting a little intense so I asked the office casal (since Sister Ransom is a grandma and grandmas know everything) to look at my weird arm hives and she IMMEDIATELY was like "DO YOU SLEEP ON THIS SIDE OF YOUR BODY" and I was like "YES WHY ARE WE SHOUTING" and she was like "YOU HAVE BED BUGS, SUCKAS". She of course didnt say that but its what I heard. Thats right fam, we are living the full mission experience here in Portugal with our little friends. I never thought I would spend 3 hours ironing and seran wrapping mattresses, but here we are. At least my years and years of being a dumb teenager and seran wrapping peoples cars is finally coming in handy, just as I always knew it would. And apparently with all that work the bugs might die in a year or so!! A year hahahhahaha... hahah.... ha
   - BUT THIS WEEK WAS STILL GOOD DESPITE THE HIVES. We have this thing going for us called being sisters where the ward just loves us to death and we are not even sure why but we are RAKING IT IN. We literally spent like 3 bucks on groceries this week because we still had our fridge completely full because oh yeah, we eat basically every meal with members. Its maybe not good for my already-5-month-pregnant-looking belly but ITS GOOD FOR THE SOUL. As the ward members always say, "mais gorda mas mais FELIZ". True dat Portugal
   - We also somehow managed to find AMAZING people this week and we are not even sure how. For instance, one fam of ex-TJs with 4 kids that just moved here from Africa and also happened to COME TO CHURCH on Sunday which is Portugal is basically a miracle. Also some really cool jovens that just moved into our RC house and also just blessings blessings blessings
   - We just started instituting movie nights, where we take our fun group of African RCs and investigators down to the chapel and we watch church movies and its the best thing we have ever done. That and introducing them all to chips and salsa
   - It was our turn to cook for family night this week and what do you know, Sis Anderson goes ALL MARIE CALLANDER on it and whips out this crazy amazing homemade chicken pot pie that everyone was afraid to eat, but then did eat, and have been worshipping her ever since. Me too fam, me too
   - You should also all know that I am currently writing you all in a dinasoar onsie because yes, we did just have a chicken and waffle pj party for district p day in the capela. My idea, obviously. No regrets.

OK I LOVE YOU ALL THANKS FOR THE LOVE AND SUPPORT. PLZ PRAY THAT OUR BUG FRIENDS WILL FIND OTHER PEOPLE TO BOTHER K THANKS LUV TO ALL
