Today is great, today is great!
Hi family and loved ones. All smiles today! The
sun is shining super bright after a few days of coldness, I got to make cookies
this morning (Alison and I’s secret recipe!), and today is the first day of a
new transfer!
Now, I only have one companion, Hermana Giler!
This is the first time I have ever just had one companion haha I am super
stoked. I am also stoked that she only speaks Spanish...okay, that’s a lie, she
does speak a little English too. But guess what!? Chances are that after this
transfer I’ll be able to say that I am from Madrid with a straight face and
people will believe me! (I’m just feeling super positive this week)
I really love my area and the city is beginning
to grow on me a bit more. We are having a lot of success and often times we
have too many lessons that we can handle! I am excited to work really hard with
Hermana Giler. We have two baptisms coming up! One is next weekend for Julia!
She´s awesome. Her daughter was baptized a couple months ago. It’s just the two
of them and they are a great little family. Julia feeds us every week and it is
always superrr delicious and superrr not good for me haha I am not too worried
though. For some reason I have been blessed with a super fast metabolism on the
mission...I have officially only gained a whole pound since I left! It’s probably
because we walk a 100 miles a day. No joke.
My favorite lesson from this week was with a
little family that we have been teaching for a while. The mom is a member, but
the little boy and his dad are not. They are such a great family! I really love
them. We watched The Restoration video together and bore our testimonies of
Joseph Smith and the Restoration afterwards. It was so powerful. They are
definitely progressing. They both know the Gospel is true and they come to
church every single Sunday! The only problem is the mom and dad are not married
(even though they have two kids and have been together for 15 years.) It’s not
a big deal to get married here and the dad doesn’t want to have to deal with
the paper work...we are definitely making progress though. Pray for them!
Okay, I have to run. We all know I could write
forever if I had the time. I love you all so much!
Besos xoxo
A few happy thoughts:
- I bought a soccer ball! My little pelota
motivates me to get out of my cozy bed every morning
- We got to go to the temple last week!!! Talk
about super blessed to have one just down the street. It is absolutely
BEAUTIFUL. Mom, you would love it.
- That one time I had to throw up in my bag
because apparently my stomach can’t handle raw cow meat...don´t worry, I did it
secretly. (oh the life of a missionary)
