Week 40 -- July 13, 2020

Transferssssssss


Hey hey hey!!

This week seriously went by so dang fast!! (Yeah yeah, I know I say that every week...)
But it was a good one!!

We got transfer calls at like 10:30 at night on Saturday, after anxiously waiting all day long to find out If we were staying or not, and I am leaving Cornellá! I've been here since the Quarantine officially started March 14th, and actually tomorrow marks the day meaning I have spent 50% of my time in Spain in this apartment in quarantine basically, fun times! 
The truth is though,  I have honestly seen SOO many blessings and I have seen more fruits of my labor here than I have in the rest of my mission altogether!!! God isn't just using His backup plan to make this work as well, He is bringing blessings because of all that's happening!!

But I am only going about 1.5 hours away to a city called Girona! It's still a bigger city, but in the mountains, so I am excited! We also apparently have a brand new, crazy nice car, are some of the only missionaries, if not the only, to have wifi in the apartment, we have a balcony, and two showers🙌🙌 My only prayer now is that we have AC🙏🙏🤞🤞

Here's a cool story from Friday. We met with a new guy named John Hyrum in a park. It was kind of weird, he told us his whole life story and how he took a ton of LSD and THC, and since then has been having a bunch of problems and possessed by an evil spirit or something.. but basically he just doesn't know what his purpose or reasoning for being here is, so we taught him about the Plan of Salvation!! He was really receptive and wants to keep meeting and promised us to read the Book of Mormon!! The crazy part is that we met with him to teach English!!! We never ended up even having an English class with him!

God has really been preparing him in so many ways so that right at this moment he would be ready for us!!!

Basically that's it for this week, I love you all, let me know if you need anything, I'd love to pray for you(:

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...
