#10


This week was one really great week! We were so busy! We are trying to strengthen our relationship with the members.   We have been able to meet with some of them for a couple minutes this week and that has been really nice. We didn't think this week was going to be as good because we didn't have any set Citas with out investigators, we were calling them every day all week long and nobody was picking up the phone and also with our younger investigators and less actives, they've all had exams this last week and are super busy studying and what not. And also the Feria is in town so lots of people canceled on us because they went to the Feria 😅😒 if I weren't a missionary, I would totally be a fan of the Feria, but as a missionary, it's the worst hahaha. So we weren't really sure how this week would work out, but we saw miracles this week! Little miracles all over the place it was awesome. I'll share some.

1. We were out contacting one morning and we had been doing pretty well at getting future investigators and what not but we decided to turn to go into a big park. So right when we turned the corner to go in, a woman just made eye contact with us and very joyfully said "Hola!" And we said it back, and then she just started asking how we were and where we were from and she basically initiated the conversation, calling us over to talk to her! She was stealing our job hahaha. But she asked where she we were from and we told her the United States and she just got so so excited and happy she told us that everything about the United States calls her attention and she just longs to know more so she basically just told us that she wants to learn more English, about our culture and about out church too! Her name was Luisa and she was so so lovely. That was a small miracle, I have high hopes for her.

Miracle number 2. As I said we had a tough time meeting with investigators this week, but we called our part member family Sunday morning, Melisa is our investigator and she's 17.and we just called in hopes that they'd come to church because they haven't been in  a while and they answered and the mom, Mirra  said they were getting ready to come! And Melisa too! It was so sweet, she said it was truly a miracle that they were all coming and that they could really feel our prayers. GOD ANSWERS PRAYERS. SOME WAY SOME HOW HE DOES.
MILAGROS. It was a good week in the Spain heat. I'll send some pics.

We ate this beauty .

These are pretty Feria lights but we couldn't go in because it wasn't on p day 😢.

I wanted to get a better picture, but for the Feria everyone and their mom wear these huge beautiful Feria dresses with flowers in their Hair and everyone goes to the fair in a horse drawn carriage and it's the best. I wore my polka dot dress basically all weekend because for the Feria everyone's dresses have polka dots so I really fit in 😉


This is our dear Bolivian family 💙💙💙 melisa, our investigator is right next to me, and her parents Mirna and Kike. I adore them. Sofia, the other daughter is just missing.
