Week 49 -- September 21, 2020

Halfway There

Hola hola hola!!


How are you all doing?¿
It's been another great week over here in Barcelona!! Like it was a really good week! For some exciting/scary news, Saturday was my halfway mark in the mission!! I'll hit my year mark in a week, but it is so crazy to me to know that I have less time left than I have been here!! Gosh, that makes me sad, I LOVE MY MISSION!! SPAIN IS INCREDIBLE!!! GOD IS SO FULL OF LOVE!!!

I don't have time to write much tonight, but just wanted you all to know that God loves you! I feel so happy right now! I love where I am and feel so good about what I am doing! It is insanely hard and stressful, and I definitely need a lot of prayers, as well as literally all of us right now, but wow, I really just feel God completely lifting me up each and every day! I honestly don't even know how I have been able to do everything required of me! God is so good! Please just find some way to show God you love Him this week. I promise promise promise you that if you do that, God will bless you with a special blessing and lift you up and allow you to more easily accomplish everything needed of you!!

Love you all so much!

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...
