I AM NOT DEAD YET, BUT WE ARE GETTING DOWN TO THE WIRE HERE!
It's insanity to begin my last 6 weeks here in the missionary field! The whole idea of being at home, studying, and getting a job are now becoming a little bit important to me, but I'm still working to give it my all here as we come into the last 6 weeks!
This week was quite exciting! We worked hard on companionship exchanges with the Zone Leaders and saw some really cool miracles! One of the coolest miracles was finding an investigator named Wendy! Wendy was progressing and doing amazing until we lost contact with her a couple weeks ago! We were kind of bummed because we had no lessons planned for the morning, but as we were walking down the street, all the sudden we saw her! There she was on a bench where we used to always see her! We immediately ran up to her and sat down and just had a very open lesson with her! We talked to her about her life and found out she has been going through a rough time. As we talked about the gospel principles though and how they bless us, she realized that she needed them in her life with some help from the spirit and decided she wants to keep learning and try her best to live the gospel so that it can change her! We were very excited to once again be helping our sister Wendy out!
Besides that, my companion turned 21 on Saturday and the members went crazy to throw him surprise parties and make him feel loved! I would love it though if some of you guys could write him and wish him happy birthday though! He deserves it and he's a great guy! He's helped me a ton! If you love me, please show some love to him by writing him and sending him some birthday love! His email is diego.barrales.funes@myldsmail.net ! Thanks guys!
Another awesome thing about this week was that Jeronimo got to bless the sacrament for the first time and we were able to take him to the temple for the first time! The temple was not only a really great experience for him but also for us! It's crazy how much peace you feel as you enter into the temple from a world full of problems and craziness! Jerónimo really felt it! He told us afterwards that he just felt weightless there and an emotional peace he needed to feel! That was very cool to see him enjoy the temple so much!
This week the Hermanas in our ward had a bunch of success and we got to be at the baptisms and confirmations of those investigators. It is always fantastic to see people take these steps to come unto Christ. Although they are the "Hermana's Investigators" that's not what matters. What matters is that we were able to see two of our sisters take a huge step to become closer to our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ! It was a very spiritual weekend and a great way to cap off another week!
Looking forward to seeing you guys soon and always love hearing updates! If you are reading this and we haven't talked in a while, I would love to hear from you!
Peace in the Middle East, rain in Spain!
