Still Small Voice  Hola hola mis amigos! Qué tal estáis? I am very aware that I mention in every group email just how fast the week flew by but this one was CRAZY fast! Both my companion and I agree that it felt like yesterday we had Preperation Day!! Anyways, it's been a good week overall! I've noticed that during the weekdays, a lot of people cancel on plans, so that kinda stinks, pero bueno!🤷🏼‍♂️ Everything is going good here! We had zone conference (virtually) this week! It was really good to hear from President and Hermana Galli! My companion and I talked a lot about the importance of being diligent in everything we do! Our teaching went great! Here's a question Hermana Galli invuted us to think about, I'll invite you all to do the same; What would I do today if I had more faith in my covenants? Here's a cool little miracle from yesterday! We has planned to meet with someone for the first time yesterday. We were sitting in the park waiting for like 20 minutes...

6 Months Left!!  Hello hello hello!!! This week has FLOWN by!!! It's been really really good!! Something crazy about today is that it means I only have 6 months left! That is SO CRAZY! Time goes by super fast here, but so much happens, I don't understand it! I'll just share a really cool miracle we have been able to see! Last week I was texting a lot of people, trying to meet everyone here in my new area, and I came  across a lot of people that actually responded and had some really good conversations with them! I was talking to one of them who I didn't even know if she was a member or not, but she was saying that she needed help painting a room. We went over and ended up painting this whole bedroom for her! Turns out that she's a member, she was baptized in Venezuela and she used to be super super active and was very proud to tell us that she had been part of the reason in bringing over 100 people into the church! We could tell that she has so much light in her! Th...

  Alrightttttt!!! How is everyone doing?! Back to Being a Normal Missionary!! I have now been outside the office for two weeks! I have been living it up in Lleida! I am absolutely in love with this city!!!🤩 I loved Barcelona, and feel so fortunate to have had so much time there, but it is so nice to be in a MUCH smaller, quieter, calmer city! In Barc, we drove EVERYWHERE! (If I thought driving in downtown SLC was rough, I'll be pro when I get home ) Here in Lleida however, we live right in the center and almost everyone in the ward and that we are teaching lives in the main city, so we walk EVERYWHERE!!! I normally had around 3000 steps a day (sitting in an office chair from 9am to 9:30pm) Checking my smartwatch, today I have walked 12,737 steps! Soooo yeah, my legs are sore, it is so good though!! I was honestly worried about how the change would be. I thought it would be a dramatic change, but it's been fairly easy! It's definitely weird having free time and having to fi...
