Week 16 -- January 20, 2019
Francia!!!
Hola everyone!!!
This was a great week!!! But geez it's starting to feel a whole lot more like winter here!!!🥶🥶
This was a really good week with lots of miracles everyday!!!! I just love being a missionary, truly there just isn't anything like it!!!
Fun little story from yesterday! So San Sebastián is very North Spain and close to France. There's a member family who lives in France and invited us over for an FHE last night!!! It was kind of cool hahaha it's like an hour train ride and then you cross a bridge and you're in a different country now
France is pretty cool, and they gave us fancy french bread and chocolate and that was delicious!! Great family! Super faithful!!! It would be difficult to take an hour train to and from church every Sunday!
Here's a super miracle from this week!!! Friday night we were talking with a member here who probably is one of the strongest members and has a crazy powerful testimony! We asked him about his conversion story, because he's a genuine Basque, which is difficult to convert ahahahah, and we were curious! He told us that like 15 years ago, he was just walking down the street and saw two young men walking with big smiles on their faces. He was confused why people would be smiling on the streets of rainy, cold, San Sebastián, so he went right up to them and asked who they were. Very shortly afterwards, he was baptized. And not too long later, he brought many of his friends into the church! Well we decided we need to really focus on not only sharing the message, but being the message! Saturday we were just super happy and smiling all day long, (I love the confused looks we get) and Saturday night, we passed this man and he called after us and asked us to talk for a sec. He basically told us he believes in God so much and right now is looking for a way to come closer to God. He came to church the next day, felt the spirit very strongly, and is reading and loving the Book of Mormon! We are meeting with him on Wednesday!!!! That was such a crazy miracle! Wow thank you God!!!(:
We had exchanges with the Zone Leaders this week and it was a lot of fun and I learned a bunch from Elder Harris!!! He's a fantastic missionary, and after having a few appointments with him there, I decided I need to be more bold in my invitations to our amigos. The next day we met with this couple who smokes a ton and we've been waiting to teach about the word of wisdom for fear that it would scare them away too early. Well I decided I was just going to trust God and be bold. It went amazing and they committed to go 3 days without smoking and I went 3 days without sugar!!! What a miracle!!! Sometimes we just gotta trust God!!!
Great week!!!!!(:
