Hello world!
Wow so much to tell!
So here I am in the field. It's the first day of my second week in Girona and it is WONDERFUL!
my companion is the sweetest, the members are incredible and my Piso is so beautiful.
Girona is a smaller town about an hour or two south of France. It's cooler here but not cold.
My
companion only has 6 weeks left so she knows what she's doing. I am so
grateful to have her. We already have 10 potential investigators and 2
Fechas(dates) for baptism. But beyond that just finding people is
incredible. We were contacting on the street and Hermana Laine (who's
Finnish by the way. She also learned English and Spanish while on her
mission, she's incredible) she stepped in front of this mom and her
daughter and we started to talk to them and set up a second visit. A
couple days later we met with them at a park and this time they brought
their 16 year old kid. His name is Johnathan, then the mom is Lilly
and the daughter is Tatiana, we talked to them and they committed to
Come to church and read the book of mormon and pray as a family. We
find out that they've only been in Spain for 2 weeks and they have no
friends and live in a single room apartment where the boy has to sleep
on the floor. I can't believe how God works, we met them so quickly
and these people here in the ward are so incredible! They literally
accepted them and loved them and made them part of the family so so
quickly. I love them. Then we went on this insane hike (I've attached
pictures) I'm really realizing how out of shape I am but I get to walk
so much every day so esta bien. Spain is so different just in how it
looks and feels and how people act but they're so humble here and I have
such high hopes for this branch. I really want to help them become a
ward so that means we need a lot more priesthood holders. I get to be
here for my first 12 weeks so that's a possibility, just lots of work.
The Spanish is actually coming along very well for as much time as I've
been learning so I'm very grateful for the gift of tongues.
Ha
so in this mission there are a few words president does not like and
some of them include: cool, awesome, fetch,freaking, and a few more in
spanish. Entonces, my compañera decided everytime I said cool or awesome
she had to do 5 pushups. So she got pretty buff really quickly. Then
everytime she didn't like something she would say, I hate that, so I
decided I would do 5 push-ups for each time she said that, let's just
say I've got arms like a ripped man now. (Justkidding)
So we get two hours to write here, I get to share lots and lots
This
mission is actually amazing. It's called the lighthouse cause it's the
highest baptizing mission in Europe. And it's true, but only
because we as missionaries are exactly obedient. We follow Gods
commandments perfectly so we can be part of miracles,not just recieve
blessings. I know now why dancing on the line of disobedience isn't even
an option. Follow every guideline every rule perfectly. God is
perfect he's not going to tell you to do something if it isn't good for
you or doesn't have a point. Everyone is like duh, but that's a new
concept for me. If you need a miracle find out how you can be more
obedient to Heavenly Father and then just do it. He knows the better
path.
I feel so blessed
to have this experience and be able to serve the Lord this way. It's
only been about 2 months but I already feel so much closer to the spirit
and the Lord, I trust in him so much more and I cannot wait to see
what he has in store for me this next 16 months (so weird how fast time
goes.) I wish I could tell every single person to go on their mission.
Like if you haven't gone GO it's only a year and a half, or 24
months and you will learn so many lessons so much quicker and save
yourself so much hurt and hard trials, cause you experienced them in a
quick 18 or 24 months. Dont just go with your spouse when youreold. Go
now! in reality, we owe it to our father to share his Gospel with
every single one of our brothers and sisters. You know something they
don't and if you keep this gospel from them, there's a chance they may
never get to be with our father in heaven again. Don't skip it for
anything. Whoa sister fuller calm down. I CAN'T!! THE GOSPEL IS TRUE
go share it with no fear. If you share it with love you can never be
too bold.
Anywayzzz no more preachy!
Hermana
Laine is a gem and I am grateful to have a trainer like her. Today it's
raining but it's beautiful. what an amazing world we live in.
Here are some pictures! Feel free to check my mom's Bloogg...and email me!!!
Also if you know of anyone who wants to be on my email list lemme know!
Love,
Hermana Fuller
