I can't remember anything! Holy cow! One
thing that was cool was that we taught lesson one about 4 times this
week. Which is new, that means we have new investigators! We just talked
to a lot of different people and testified to all of them that God
lives and so we are planning on doing that this week as well.
We had 4 eating citas this week so that was awesome.
I'll
skip to the part we have all been waiting for. So Friday night I went
to bed at 10 pm. I woke up at 2 am. Got a dress on. Put some makeup on.
Did nothing with my hair. Ate some yogurt and gathered my pillows and a
notebook and left piso at 3:30 am to get in the car with some other
Hermana's from Crevillente and they took us to the capilla. There, I
took a nap on the sidewalk until the charter bus came to take us to
Málaga. 6 hours later we arrived in Málaga and my comp from the CCM
Hermana Dos Santos was sitting right behind me so we did some good
catching up. It was cute and fun. So yes, we arrived to Málaga and were
greeted by EVERY MISSIONARY IN THE SOUTH OF SPAIN. Wow what a site. We
all had to be very reverent and we were all in pose for a picture and
then the man of God came. Elder Holland came! And then President Johnson
(area President over Europe) and Sister Johnson. And then we all got in
line and he " interviewed us". He shakes our hands, not that he really
cares where we are from or what our names are, but he wanted to shake our
hands so that he could look into our souls. He said that. And that's
what He did. (But I'll have you know to all my homies back home that he
said Moapa Valley was a very famous place ayyeee)! And then we all took a
photo with him and everyone and then we went into the capilla for a
very powerful 2 hours.
So we all sang a opening hymn in Spanish and it
was so cool! We sounded so awesome! Sister Johnson gave a sweet
testimony and then President Johnson talked about something super
awesome that I am so sorry but I can't remember. It's in my notes which I
do not have with, me at the moment. And then President Anderson got up
and said the sweetest thing. Like Mormon said about his son Moroni, that
he commends his soul to God; President Anderson said that same thing
about each of us. 😓 Tears, so sweet. So then Elder Holland got up, made
some jokes, and then started pounding the microphone. Saying things
like, DON'T MISS YOUR CHANCE TO ME A MISSIONARY. THIS COMES ONCE IN A
LIFETIME. What he said was almost the exact same as the other Provo
devotionals of his that we watched in the CCM but it was still powerful.
He didn't want us to regret a single thing and just leave it alllll out
on the playing field. He wanted us to go home not having anything left
because we left it all out on the mission. It was inspiring and
motivating. And then he talked about how important and key it is that
our church gets revelation. This is what sets us apart. And then I got
to see my friends from the ccm and it was so awesome! Hopefully I can
write more about Elder Holland next week when I have my notes! Here are some
fotos.
