You and I taught a housekeeper named Camila in her doorway in Chelas (Lisboa) and she was baptized after you left. It also lead to the two girls who lived there being baptized. One of the girls, Alexandra Fialho Heidt, lives in Idaho. I will be visiting her on Friday 9/3/2021. Just wanted to make sure you knew about some of the fruits of your missionary labor. I can give you more if you are interested.

I was able to attend the temple dedication in Lisboa. I tracked down Domingos and Alice in Marinha Grande, close to Leiria. We baptized them in Lisboa on on July 24, 1982. It was less than 2 weeks after you were transferred. They remember you teaching them. They are not currently attending church, but they are doing well.

Thank you for your support. I remember that day at the airport very well. Good good memories of our MTC district heading to Portugal.

Praying for you and your family.
I remember when we were at the airport heading out to Portugal,
Your family came to see you off and your parents were so kind to take
A few minutes with each of us.
I had never been that close to an apostle before
And I was very touched by the gesture.
