Welp this week:
We went to visit a
cute recent convert Valentina!! She is adorable. She is 14 and her mom
is away for work so we aren't allowed to meet with her in her house
because shes too young so we decided to take her out to get a chocolate
milk with her and give her a sweet lesson about how much Jesus loves
her. It was so fun!
We have been using whatsapp to
connect with everyone and it has been so handy! We have been able to
talk to so many more people just by shooting a text because nobody likes
to answer their phones... ever.
We
had such a good lesson reading the Book of Mormon with Pilar. She
understood it all! She is so ready to be baptized but just cant get work
off on Sundays.. sigh. one day!
Our
ward mission leader and His wife are literally the coolest people. I
always look forward to Correlation. He just gets work done. It's so nice
to have a good ward mission leader especially being in a country where
you don't know the language or the culture. we seriously can call on him
for anything and he helps us and it is soooo nice! It makes life so much
less stressful. Also they live in our area so they invited us to pass
by to eat some crepes and non alcoholic fancy drink things and it was
lovely. And then we did a role play with them and they critiqued us and
it was pure gold! I really appreciate those humans.
We
have been so busy this week and it has been so fun just running around
from place to place. We went to see Lourdes!!! She is progressing sooo
wellll!!! IT'S SO EXCITING. We have begun to teach her the commandments
and she is accepting all of them. She has so much faith... ah she's just a
little miracle girl!
Our investigator gave us 8 Zucchinis... so we made zucchini bread... and then we ate it all... whoops.
Saturday
we got 3 new investigators in a matter of hours. One guy just came up
too us and asked us to teach him about the Book of Mormon; so we did. We
invited him to church. He came... and then ran out after 10 minutes
exclaiming that he was evangelist and got out of there. we awkwardly ran
after him but it was to no avail. Just then we decided to call 77 year
old Antonio because he wasn't in Sacrament. Turns out the poor guy was
lost and had been lost for 2 hours wandering around in the cold. Ward
mission leader came to the rescue and picked the poor old man up hahaha
Antonio was so grateful.
We met in a cafeteria with two girls and taught them the first lesson and they ended buying us hot chocolate. That was cool.
We
went and ate lunch with a wonderful woman! She has the cutest little
house on a cliff over looking the ocean. Pics to come of that. We had the
most interesting gospel discussion with her. Sometimes the people I
meet really just amaze me, I'm telling ya. When I was with her at her
house Ijust got the overwhelming thought of " wow I'm really in Spain
right now. This is the coolest." I love when I get feelings like that cause it's so true! I am thriving!!!!
Oh
also something that was so wonderful is that thanks to Facebook I was
able to connect with a young woman from my first area that was baptized
just a week or two after I left the area and it was sooo happy for me!!!I was able to see that she and another young woman who I did personal
progress with every Sunday got their medallions and holy cow I just love
them so much and am sooo proud to see them doing good things. It was
just one of the moments where I kinda saw the fruits of my labor! It was
so sweet :)
This week we have a pretty busy week scheduled already and its exiting!!!
