2 peachy creamys - Both Finnish blood Sisters of the heart also. |
Alright Americans here is what happened this week.
Hermana Laine and I contact like crazy so we always get really fun news(new investigators)
And I love just talking to any random person on the street!
We had enfoque de zona, which was fun cause we got to travel to batelona and see the huge chapel they have there that is new and beautiful. And then because my Hermana is the sister training leader for our zone I got to go on an intercombia to gernollers where I spent the day with Hermana Cortez, I learned so much and realized how some areas can be so much harder, the people there are pretty cold compared to the people in Girona, then despite all that I invited a bunch of random people to be baptised into the church even though I had only spoken to them for about 3 minutes. Then this older member decided we needed to gain 20 lbs right then and there in our sita(visit) and I have never been so full in my life. Ha and because we apparently were not full enough, another member decided we had to go eat at their house too, so basically i died that night.
I am so grateful to be where i am and i really hope i get to stay a while cause people here actually listen when we stop them, Secretly I think it's only cause my companion looks like a model, although she would never admit to it.
So after that, I came back and we had a very busy weekend teaching our investigators and doing classic missionary type stuff.
Then on Sunday our mission president decided to attend church as well as one of our investigators we thought would never come. So that was incredible, we also have a baptism this weekend for an adorable little 9 year old who is so excited to be a member and go to the temple with her family. Then next week we have another baptism, and hopefully we will keep this streak going.
All in all its been a really incredible journey so far. I can't wait to see what else the Lord has in store for us. 2 weeks down in the field, weird.
So quick story for you. Obviously, I'm learning spanish, and obviously I'm not afraid to speak it and be wrong. So there have been two very memorable experiences so far where I have told a member i was excited for him to make a baby for me and I said that elder bednar was my favorite pimp in spanish. The first one was supposed to be I was excited for him to make me a certain drink(beber) but I said baby (bebe) and the second was supposed to be a talk or (charla) but instead I called him the Spanish word for pimp which is bad so I won't type it. My companion found that absolutely incredible and decided that all of Spain should know my stories. But it's okay cause she likes to skii in hell (inferno, the word was supposed to be winter) oh how I love spanish!!
I love this gospel, I see miracles every single day and I absolutely love the person God is designing me to be. I will forever be grateful that I let go of what I thought I knew and trusted in his plan more than my own. The true church of Jesus Christ has been restored to the earth, families can be together forever, God is our father and he loves us more than we can comprehend. President Thomas s Monson is the prophet on the earth today, and I know he speaks with our father in heaven.
So I have a favor, if any of you have music that would be GOOOOD for missionaries I would be so grateful! No Disney but anything that brings the spirit would be very very helpful.
