This week was CRAZY!!

Hello all! 

This week was CRAZY!! Monday was good, we were in a trio for the day and taught our friend Cecilia after Pday. It was really cool to teach her, she has told us before that she didn't know why she came here to Spain (she moved here from Columbia) but when we taught her the restoration she came to the conclusion that the Lord had sent her to Spain (of all places) to meet the missionaries and accept the restored gospel. Sometimes I get discouraged because we haven't found a lot of people who take the lessons seriously, but in this moment I remembered that God truly is preparing people, we just need to find them.

     Tuesday was interesting, we started off by dropping off our third comp in the metro to her new comp and continued with the day until we had another appointment with Sandra la Brasileña :) our member friend Thaina was able to teach with us (she speaks Spanish, English and is from BrAzil. Solid) Well, we started teaching so I pulled out my iPad. A guy came up to us when we started and asked for directions in French (we had the lesson in Burger King) He then left and we continued with the lesson. A few minutes later he came back, sat down at the table behind us, picked up his things and left. We didn't think much of it until I turned to get my scriptures out. "Uh, where's my back pack?" We all started frantically looking and remembered the guy who asked for directions. The workers said that they did see a man walking out with a blue back pack and we knew it was mine. The first thing we did was go to a locutorio to call Mom (hi mom) my mom answered. Miracle. Luckily Thaina spoke english, miracle, so she was able to get my mom to cancel my debit card from home. My mind raced to remember what else might have been of worth in my bag. The only things he was able to take was the card, some keys and my personal BOM. Earlier that day I was carrying another bag because we were in the trio, I accidentally forgot to put my normal wallet (with my transportation card, Mission card, Residency card and temple recommend) back in my backpack and I left that other bag at home. Miracle. 

After we got the card figured out we were able to go back to Burger King and have a fantastic lesson. We met with Sandra again later last week and she chose a day to be baptized.

Although we have trials and inconveniences pass in our lives, if we trust in God we will be happy. We were locked out of our Piso for a day and a half but after sending over a handyman from Barrio 4 we were able to get in and grab our spare key. Many other miracles happened last week, miracles we would only have been able to see with our trial. I know that God has a plan for each and every one of us. No matter how often we forget Him, he will never forget us.  I know the Church of Jesus Christ of LDS is the true church on the Lord today. As I read the Book of Mormon and share my testimony I feel the same spirit of peace and joy that I feel when I receive answers to my prayers. 

Thank you all for your prayers! I hope you all have a great week full of miracles!

Hello my dearest queridos!

     This has actually been a very interesting week, a very long but good interesting week. We started off with a full day of intercambios with Hermanas Christensen and Rivera, I got to go with Hermana Rivera :)

     This was her first intercambio so I wanted it to be super special. We got to share the #PrinceofPeace video with a lot of our friends here in B9. I love going out with the new missionaries, they always fill the day with energy and faith. I'm so grateful for the time I got to spend with Hermana Rivera, she is a true example of faith, hope and enduring to the end. She is incredible.

     On Wednesday we met with Mari Luz for the last time. She will now be working with the Hermanas of Barrio 8. She is amazing and I look forward to seeing her baptism photos in the next few weeks.

     On Thursday we had a super awesome ward activity! No one really had work or school so a lot of people came. We prayed that the members would invite their friends and.... THEY DID! Well, Annalise did and three of our investigators came. So HUGE success! We will be meeting with Annelises friend again on Friday. The activity was super fun, we just played a ton of group games outside and ate the most authentic Paella, made by our Stake President from Valencia. It was solid. And so good. Sandra came which made me so happy. I love her so much and we will finally be teaching her with someone from Brasil this week so that she can understand better. Yay!

    Then on Friday we had interviews with President Pack. He is incredible and I'm so grateful for the opportunity I have to serve under his direction.

Well this week has been fantastic, I really don't have anytime but just know I am happy and well! I hope you all are as well. I'm so grateful for the opportunity we had to celebrate the resurrection of Jesus Christ. He is our Savior and redeemer. Because of him we can truly have divine happiness and Joy.

Let us celebrate always these incredible three words.

He is Risen!

Love you all! Have a great week!

Temple day!!

Wow! So much has happened in the last week and a half I can't even believe it! Well I guess first things first... 

On Tuesday we had Concílio, which is just a leadership meeting in the mission home with President and Hermana Pack. I loved it so much! We are making a lot of goals and plans as a mission to be the best we can be. While i was there I was reunited with my cute MTC friends Hermana Duffin, Curtis and Campbell. It was really nice to see them after a year!

On Wednesday we had intercambios with the cute Hermanas from Leganes. I got to be with Hermana Jarman because I went with Hermana Webster last transfer. Hermana Jarman the CUTEST! #shoutout This is her first transfer but she is already killing it here on the mission. I wanted to give her the best intercambio experience so we focused on inviting people to be baptized and different finding approaches in the street. The lessons we originally had planned failed but we still had the goal to invite people to be baptized, so we passed by our friend Mimi, we met with her a while ago but she hasn't is been able to set a day to meet. And guess what! She was there! We read together in the Book of Mormon I nudged Hermana Jarman and she flawlessly invented her to enter the waters of baptism and Mimi said Yes! we finished the night sharing the #PrinceofPeace video (look it up atMormon.org) and made our goal to talk to more than 25 people (:

The next morning Hermana Jarman and I went out again with the goal to find a new investigator and invite them to be baptized. Again the plans failed but God put us in the right place at the right time and we were able to talk to Lusmila. As we were about to share a scripted with their in the street she was like, "Hey I live pretty close we can go sit down and be more comfortable." Uh, yes please. Idk how it is for all you cute other missionaries but that NEVER happens. Legit the first time with me. Anyway, miracle, we taught her the first lesson and she too accepted the invitation to be baptized. I know that if we work our hardest and do all we can do the Lord will bless us with success. This experience also really strengthened my testimony of prayer. God can do so much more than make us feel good about ourselves, he wants to bless us with miracles, we just need to be worthy and ask for them.

Tô finish the week we had GENERAL CONFERENCE!!!!! Oh my heart, y'all just need to watch it and read it and listen to it all over again. I especially like the talk of Elder Rasband and Uchtdorff. Also the prophet has spoken. Read the Book of Mormon everyday, there are so many promised blessings as we do so.

Today we went to the temple so we didn't have Pday on Monday. I'm so grateful for the temple and for the opportunity I have to go there often. It doesn't matter what language it's in or where in the world you are, this is truly Gods Church. (Today we got to have a session in Portuguese)

Overall this has been an incredible week. I am so grateful for how aware and loving our Heavenly Father is for each and every one of His children. He's full of Grace and forgiveness. This is Christ's true church here upon the earth. He has called a living prophet to lead us in these the Latter-days. I am grateful for his love.

I hope you all have a fantastic week!!!

Loves and Besos
