Well hi! Hace mucho tiempo!
I know I know, I'm just not good at group emails I'm sorry.
Well I am now in a place called Vic, it's actually very close to my first area in the mission Girona, it's the same zone and everything, which is a little weird. Usually missionaries dont go back to the same zone, but supongo que I had to learn something or find someone so here I get another go.
I miss Terrassa more than life. I can't even describe to you how much that place feels like home, the people there, the city just everything. I know the Lord has a plan though and I have enough love to give to other areas, you just miss stuff sometimes ya know?
For example, Dr pepper. I still miss Dr pepper. And free refills, we in America take those for granted. Also! Free water at restaurants apparently that's not a thing!
So my new companion is Hermana Baker, she is from California and has about 14 weeks in the mission field. But her Spanish is incredible and her teaching skills are off the Charts! We joke she's all that and a bag of chips but really she is.
Unfortunately, however for the first two weeks of the transfer we were trading off being sick and then recovering from that. I did however receive a promise in a blessing that I would not get sick again on my mission should I remain faithful and obedient so I'm gonna hold to that.
My companion on the other hand got this weird infection on her leg and apparently it spread quite dramatically. Never did have to go to the doctor but we really didn't get the chance to do too much although we did see many miracles be that as it may.
We had one man that Hermana Baker contacted in her first week on the mission and we finally got a hold of him and he is still interested in meeting us, and all along this little adventure we met a whole bunch of random wonderfuls that are potentially interested in learning more about the gospel.
Then today we went to Barcelona for preparation day where we went to the best ice cream in the world and subway and then I got to see my favorite Hermana Stahl and we chatted and went on a search for freaky (the word used to describe people that like anime and video games) things before she goes home in October.
Also, here in vic there is a tradition that those who come here eventually train new missionaries, so right now our district leader Elder Warr is training a new Elder, and let me just say they are HILARIOUS! WE literally die laughing and I'm were all best friends. But the pattern in vic goes like this new elder, new Hermana, new elder, new Hermana, well we just got a new elder, so the pattern seems to continue and everyone says I will be having a new baby missionary just after I hit my 9 month mark.... how appropriate.....
🤤
Pray for me
So the life of a missionary continues! We have very little going on here in vic but that's about to change. It's a tiny branch that's only been opened for 5 years and just so happens to be a branch off the branch in Girona where I served my first 18 weeks. Here however, there are a LOT more Africans. Which is so much fun because theyre so open and love to speak about God, but getting them to baptism is much more difficult because they don't commit to things or take things seriously, more difficult yes, impossible? No!

We have faith and we know that the Lord has a plan, here's a little poem I don't know if I already shared but it really helps me see the eternal perspective
“Father, where shall I work today?” And my love flowed warm and free.
Then He pointed me out a tiny spot and said, “Tend that for me.”
I answered quickly, “Oh no, not that! Why, no one would ever see,
No matter how well my work was done: Not that little place for me.”
And the words He spoke, they were not stern, he answered me tenderly,
“Ah, little one, search that heart of thine: art thou working for them or me?
Nazareth was a little place, and so was Galilee.”
I know we can remember this when we look at our lives and don't see the meaning or the purpose for the things that are happening we can remember that the will of the Lord and his vision is far grander than we can imagine. He has an amazing plan for our life, all we have to do is accept his will and push forward with faith, at times we don't see the bigger picture, but that's why we have a savior and a father in heaven who can see it all.
I know so far in my mission I've seen when I've depended completely on the Lord and when I haven't and I can tell you the sacrifices and the work he asks for is always in preparation for something he wants to give us. He is our father and he wants to give it all to us.
I know it's true, we have a living prophet who speaks with our savior Jesus Christ. This is his church and we each have a purpose in our lives.
I love you all and I'm grateful for all the support you've given me and my family. We are here and we are doing the Lord's work

Love Hermana Fuller
