Hermana Boggess and I
found ourselves at 4 o clock this morning having companionship study.
Hahaha literally it was the funniest thing. We both have a severe
problem talking in our sleep so we combined our efforts to have
companion study. She was asking me what we were studying and I was
telling her random pages of Preach My Gospel. Which is so nice because
mom, I can't tell you how many times I have taught Lesson 1 by myself at
3 in the morning to my wall. It's nice to finally have someone help me
out 😉 my sleep talking and walking has only gotten worse on the
mission... My poor companions. We woke up this morning just laughing so
hard. Also juat while I'm at it, we both have light switches right at
the head of our beds and each of us at least once accidently turns the
light on during the night, it's actually kind of creepy but hey what can
you do.
Anywho enough
of the goofy stuff. We finally taught some investigators this week. Alll
of our investigators just like to meet with us out in the chilly air
but it's okay, we're glad to be teaching anyone. The really really hard
thing is that seriously all but one of our investigators works on
Sundays. It's such a pena because the economy is pretty bad here I guess
so work is just hard to find in general. We are praying a lot and are
definitely needing some celestial help with that. But hope is something
we do have.
We had 4
eating citas this week and all the food was just so yummy. The members
here are so very sweet. Our favorite lunch is always with Paco and
Beatriz. They are gems sent from heaven. Seriously every time we go to
their house they just treat us like queens. They just wait upon our
every need. This week we had some yummy soup stuff and then we each got a
plate full of huugggee shrimps and in Spain they just keep the bone and
head and guts and everything. They serve it whole, I don't really know
why, maybe just to show it's fresh or somwthing. But we are these huge
shrimps and then sucker on their heads with their beady little black
eyes hahaha. Gross. But it was good! And they brought me back a whole
bucket of green olives from Madrid. Kinds souls. Also just side note,
it's really funny cause they just call me Roots cause they cant say my
name its humorous. But ANYWAY after the lunch we teach em a bit and we
taught about faith and repentance and hermana Boggess and I were just
ending with our testimonies and Beatriz chimed in and bore a beautiful
testimony. And then Paco as well said something so so important. He said
he has strengthened his relationship with God and since he has been
coming to church and meeting with us and really praying, he has received
so many answers and so much comfort and also that everyday he learns
something new from God. It's is such an incredible thing to see
investigators deepen their relationship with God for themselves because they want to . HE REALLY DOES ANSWER PRAYERS!
Also
on Saturday we met with Celina. She's like 20 from Guinea Equatorial in
Africa. She meets with us every week but she just kinds listens to us
and doesn't really show much interest but this week she actually asked
questions and gave input. We showed her one of the Easter videos to
explain the Atonement a little bit and she loved it. She understood and
she actually showed expression which is seriously a miracle. Prayers
answered, sabes?
Also
Saturday night we went contacting crazy and hermana Boggess and I were
talking about how much we just want to teach a family so we talked to a
bunch of families. We did find one who was interested. We just showed
everybody the #lighttheworld video and it was so lovely because we were
contacting next to this giant Christmas light tree and it just felt like
Christmas. And they had this giant farmers market/fair thing so we
decided to treat ourselves to some Gofres. I'll attach pictures of all
of this.
And the
yesterday we got a new ward mission leader and we are really excited for
that! This new bishop is just turning this ward around. He is just so
precious I just love him haha. Also it was the primary program yesterday
and if you think that's cute in America, it gets so much cuter in Spain
with the the little children singing and speaking with their little
voices in spanish it is just so dang cute.
Hermana
Boggess is doing so well she is so diligent and is always working to be
better. She has inspired me a ton. She is from alpine Utah, she's 6
feet tall and she is ACTS JUST LIKE JACOB HAUVER HAHAHAH we get along so
great. She's the companion I have always wanted. But let's be honest,
all of my comps hab E been incredible. But we just have so much fun
together and still work so hard together. It's the best of both worlds.
She makes me go running in the morning and I hate it hahahaha. Also ahe
has this crazy talent where she can say any word backwards like really
fast. She barely hesitates and can seriously do it with any word and
even small sentences it's the craziest thing haha I'm such a fan. This
Thursday we get to go to Murcia with the whole other half of our mission
for a Christmas conference. And we're having a talent show and she's
gonna do that... And I'm expected to do something but I have no
talent... so maybe I'll just pit my fist in my mouth and call it good.
1. This is Ainoa, we were her biggest fans in the primary program. I dont know why my neck vains are so gross
2.GOFRES. I guess a gofre is just a waffle but 12 times better.
3. Two of my favorite things 😉
4.my companion loves talking to old men and I don't. Hahaha

I forgot to write about this last week, but last pday we were in city
center and their were these people doing a flash mob to whoever would
throw away trash to try to promote city cleanliness. So The elders knew
about it and tricked us into throwing away a piece of paper and then out
of no where all these men and women came with a bunch of brass
instruments started playing When the Saints Come Marching In and the
woman started dancing with us ans it was actually really fun haha I
loved it. So this is the picture we took after it.
