Week 30 -- May 4, 2020

EXCITING NEWS!!


 Hey everyone!!!

It's been a pretty good week here in Barcelona,  with some exciting news!!!

Wednesday night,  our Mission President told us that starting this Saturday, Spain is starting to open up a little bit!! There will be 4 2-week stages, with each stage opening up the quarantine a little bit more!!! This first stage allows us to leave our apartments certain hours of the day to go on walks! I can't tell you how happy I was when he told us that!!! 

Saturday was an incredible day!! The sun was super bright all day! We went on a walk in the morning, and I have never loved being outside more!! It was amazing to see the sun and actually walk hahah!!!

That was definitely the highlight of the week for sure! Another cool thing was seeing some stats about Corona Virus in Spain, I found it interesting,  the two worldwide fasts that our prophet called for, are pretty much the peaks of the graph!! GOD IS HERE!!!

In other crazy news, our Mission President called us earlier today and said that there's a missionary who has to go home, so his companion is being transferred here and my companion is leaving. That was crazy unexpected! This is the second Emergency tranfer I've been a part of, with both of then being because other random elders have to go home😂 in my first 7 months in the mission I've had 3 areas and 6 companions (as of tomorrow) that is kind of crazy😂😂

It was a really good week !! 
God will always help us, don't forget to ask for His help!!!

Love you all!

It's a Great Day to Be a Missionary!   Hello hello hello!!!  Just one thing... I love God and Jesus Christ!!! Being able to show other people how much God loves them each day is seriously the best thing ever!!! I'm so excited to use everything I have learned here after the mission (in like a month )  We are crazy busy busy busy, but like my companion and I tell eachother each morning, "it's a great day to be a missionary" Here's a little miracle we saw recently. We were going over to the grocery store to get a few things. Before leaving, we knelt down and said a prayer. In the prayer I asked that we could find someone who would recognize us in the streets. We went to and from the store and nothing happened and I forgot about that prayer . Later that day, we were walking to visit an AMAZING family, and I heard someone honking at us. I turn around and see someone waving us down! We walked over and realized who it was! It was Rensol and his family! I had taught t...

Serve Someone Hola hola hola!! Mission time is very weird, I've been inside, without being able to leave for anything other than groceries every two weeks, for the past 43 days, and I can't decide if it has flown by or if it's felt like 443 days. I think both. I found myself every day this week really just counting down days until Preparation Day,  and now that it's here, I felt like the week FLEW by!  I also did the math, 20 percent of my mission I have been inside this apartment without being able to leave, that's pretty cool that I have been able to have such a different opportunity than so many missionaries in the history of ever!!  Everyone, here's something I've really learned during this time, and I've still got a whole long way to go before I'm perfect but here it is. This is freaking hard, for literally every person on the planet, idk if there's been a time quite like this in history where literally every person in the w...

2 years and 2 days as a missionary   Wow! Two days ago I hit two years in the mission! THAT'S CRAZY!!!  It has been a LONG week! A lot of crazy and stressful things happened. There was a day this week where it just seemed like anything that could have possibly gone wrong, did!  By the time night came around, we were exhausted, stressed, and wanted nothing more than to just go home and sleep. We had a District Council that I will probably never forget. We were all just talking about Jesus Christ, and how important He really is in our lives. He is our Savior, He died on the cross for us, He loves us and cares about us so perfectly and individually!  We have experienced some really tender experiences this week. My testimony and love for Jesus Christ has grown so much! He stays true to His promise, "I will not leave you comfortless."  I love my Savior! Also, wow, General Conference... Just incredible! Elder Kopishke's talk about mental health was beautiful. Eld...
