First Post

So Richard has been in Portugal for a month already in a town called Leiria. It is right by the coast and in between Lisbon and Porto. Go here to see a map

His trainer's name is Elder Zabriskie and he is from Idaho. He likes the same things that Richard does, like anime and video games and stuff like that. The members there are really cool and a lot of them speak english too. He said that he eats alot of fish there and is learning to like it :)

Here is a spiritual experience that he told me the other day: "I was listening to the music my comp. has on almost all the time and it was on shuffle and played a part from JS histroy or something like that and it was talking about the night that people came into his house and tried to kill him but ended up only seriously wounding him with tar and JS still went and preached the next day all bloody and scared. And because of that he actually ended up converting some of the men who attacked him. It just really showed me what kind of man he was and even thou all that happened to him he still went on and preached the gospel of Jesus Christ. So i know I had to work harder and better. Because these people here have the right to hear about how the true Gospel was brought back to the earth."

Here is his day by day schedule: "My normal day is like this I wake up, eat breakfast, study for 3 hours, eat lunch, then at that time its usally 12:30 and we leave the house go contacting or to an appointment or to the bus station (we are there a lot because we have to bus to three other towns that are in are area) and we come home at about 8:30pm and eat dinner and prepare for bed at around 10:30pm and go to sleep at 11. Thats pretty much what I do everyday."

For his P-day he went to a castle! Here are some pics.
