Week 24 -- March 23, 2020
The Work Cannot Be Stopped
Hola Hola
It has been another CRAZY week here in Spain, of not knowing what would be happening the next day!!
They sent a few more missionaries home from our mission for a total of 36 young missionaries, and 16 senior couple missionaries. It's so sad, but we recieved some great news yesterday! No one else from our mission should be going home! Up till now, we didn't know if they would be sending us all home or not, but nope! We're staying!! And wow, what a blessing that is!!!
We also got word that the King of Spain announced that the nationwide quarantine is extended until at least mid-April. And our Mission President told us that we should probably plan to have to stay indoors for longer than that. It's been kind of crazy in quarantine, we actually were able to go outside once this week because we had to go to the Pharmacy, but we ended up getting yelled at for being outside by the police, and almost each got a 600 euro fine...
Bleh, i'm kinda sick of this virus. The truth is however, we have actually been seeing a lot of success as a mission!! The truth is that a lot of people are home now and have time to listen to a message, and their hearts are a little softer right now!! Shoutout to my boy Elder Van Wagenen for finding FOURTEEN new people to teach just yesterday!!
It's definitely very weird, but It's all good! I'm doing good, I hope you all are too!!
A cool tradition that I love here, is that every single night, at 8:00, everyone opens their windows and claps and cheers to support all of the doctors and police officers risking their own health to protect us!!
I finished the Book of Mormon again this week, and something that I've been thinking a lot about was just how difficult it was for us to obtain the Book of Mormon. Satan threw everything he had to stop us from getting it. The book is FILLED with stories of righteous people being persecuted for their beliefs, move forward another 1500 years, and it was no different for Joseph Smith, or any of the early Saints, they suffered unimaginable persecution, and fast forward to now, I'll stand here and testify that being a Latter Day Saint, is not always easy, BUT it is ALWAYS worth it!!! For something to have had Satan try so dang hard to prevent, it has got to be something powerful! And I Know with all of my heart that it is!(:
I love and am praying for you all! I hope you have an incredible week!!!
PLEASE WRITE ME, IT IS SO EASY TO GET BORED NOW.
