Week 26 -- April 6, 2020
6 MESAS!!!
Wow! This has been a very very good week!! Honestly was incredible!
Thursday was a pretty great day, it marked 6 months from the day I took my first step into this amazing journey, we experienced a miracle with our amiga Elena, and the most exciting news... I taught myself to solve a Rubix Cube!!!!!
Now about this miracle with our amiga Elena. As you probably know, I was transferred out of my last area because my companion, along with 49 other missionaries, was sent home for health risks of the Corona Virus, which result in my being transferred to a different area and leaving Benidorm without missionaries! Well this was sad for many reasons, and one of them being the fact that we had to cancel our appointment with Elena. The Sunday before, this woman just walked into Sacrament and said, "I have friends and family in this church and looked into it a few years ago, I'd like to learn more!" So my companion and I here in Barcelona have been teaching her over videocall! And on Thursday she told us that she wanted to be baptized as soon as quarantine is over!!! And we invited her to watch this General Conference, and she told us she was so excited and had already spent the day watching all of last October's General Conference! After conference last night, I shared my testimony of God's prophets with her and she gave me such a sincere testimony that the only thing she's absolutely clear about right now is that she needs to be baptized!! Seeing how well God has prepared her makes me so happy, I love this gospel!!(:
6 months in the mission, wow, that went by too fast but also feels like forever, I'm convinced time does not work the same way here! But wow I am grateful that I am still here. I feel so sad for all of the missionaries who have had to return home, and my prayers are with them. I love my mission and the children of God that I have met with all of my heart, this is truly incredible(:
I don't even know where to start with General Conference, I can't even think of very many individual things I loved. I think what I loved most was just the feeling of all of the talks, they all worked so well together and I feel so much peace right now and just love, and hope for the future. I have no doubt in my mind that President Nelson loves us so much and that he is called of God. I love this gospel guys, I could talk for hours about invitations we received and other quotes from conference, but I just want to leave it here with saying that this is Christ's church, I don't know how anyone, after listening with an open heart, could deny the truthfulness and power and love of their words. In the name of Jesus Christ, Amen.
Another reminder and invitation to please follow our Prophet's invitation to unite in a world-wide fast this Friday, please invite those of other faiths as well to join in this, we need the faith of all of God's children!!(:
