WEEK # 57
Well not going to lie this week has been a little quieter than the
last week. We still had an amazing week with finding a lot of new people
and having lots of lessons, but just a little slower. I don't think
I'll ever have a week like the last week. It was incredible.
As for you all though, it sounds like everyone is doing great.
That's crazy that they split the ward...it's going to be weird coming
home to a brand new ward! But that's good that everyone is doing well
and now there is more room to grow in the Alamo 2nd ward. I still can't
believe it's Taylor's last year of high school. That sounds crazy! It
blows my mind to be honest, but that's exciting. Also tell Jaicy
congratulations!! That's so exciting. I bet the Selland family is just
loving that right now! I feel like everyone is having babies. Here in
Spain right now there are a lot of pregnant people. It's just more of a
reminder that Kelli is pregnant...which I still can't wrap my head
around to be honest...still weird.
For my week..there isn't much. I haven't gotten the package yet,
but tomorrow we have conference in Valencia and so I should get it then.
I also sent something for Kelli's baby shower, but I don't think its
going to get there in time. I'm praying it does, but let me know when it
gets there so I don't have to worry about that.
One miracle from the week happened on Saturday
night. We wanted to do splits with some of the girls in the ward to
find more people and to be able to teach more lessons at the same time.
So we took Rita and Melanie to do splits. Rita and I started by just
contacting on the streets. Then I remembered that we were close to a
family that I have never met, but have tried to pass by before. Well we
went and knocked on their door and they were home and let us in! We had a
great lesson with them and Rita did awesome. She was like a real
missionary. We invited them to church and they said the would try to
make it. After we left, Rita was so excited about the lesson. It was
awesome because it reminded me of the excitement that I used to get
after good lessons. It was really cute. And the best part is... THEY
CAME TO CHURCH! Its a family of three from Romania. They are leaving on
vacation for two weeks, but after that we are going to try to teach them
and help them progress. It was a really fun night though. And if you
didn't already know, RITA's GOING TO CHILE!!! Seeing her open her
mission call was so awesome! Brought back so many memories!
Truth is this week wasn't anything super big. We had a lot of good
lessons and a lot of miracles in finding people, but nothing too big.
Sorry to make it so boring. We have another baptism coming up on the
12th of two girls named Gianella and Helen. Their parents are members,
but they haven't been baptized. They are waiting for their uncle to get
here from California to baptize them and he gets in on the 7th or so. So
that will be a fun baptism. They are super cute and super excited about
their baptism.
Other than that, I'm doing well. It's super hot and sometimes it's
hard to sleep, but who needs sleep?? I'm loving life and i just can't
believe that the time is going so fast. Sometimes I get really excited
to see you all and other times I get really sad thinking I'm going to
leave all these people. It's a love hate relationship.
That's awesome that Taylor was a part of her friend's baptism!!
Those are some amazing stories and that girl now is going to be the
beginning of a lot of members of the church! Keep spreading the word!!
And that made me sooo happy that you invited the sisters over for
their birthdays!! I bet that really meant something to them! It's always
nice to get a little bit of love on your birthday! Thanks for loving
them like the people love me here.
LOVE YOU ALL!!!
