Well this week has gone by really fast, like all the weeks here. So this week in Spain is Rebajas which is like Black friday sales but for like a week, and they have it the day after Three kings day. (It's like Christmas but instead of Santa Claus coming and bringing you gifts, it's the three king who brought Jesus Gifts, like myrrh, gold, frankincense. Pretty sure that's not how you spell it). Anyhow, so the stores are packed with people, which is good for us because if they have time to shop the sales, they have time for "Salvation", Right?
Okay, "Luke......Soy tu padre." Bet you can't guess it! I think it's better in English.
LUNES:
Okay so we actually did so stuff for a change instead of just laying around and eating cereal. I swear, I can't stop eating cereal now that I use this Lactose-Free Milk. It's amazing. It tastes just like milk, but it doesn't make me feel bad. Money. The blessings of living in the world these days. So we put on clothes and went shopping (Christmas money). P.S. Thanks Mom, A, Grammy! So there is this cute place called lefty's here which is basically Forever 21, or HM, which means it's really cute, and cheap. So I bought some shirts there. Then we went and bought just a ridiculous amount of groceries in Mercadona. Like, our fridge was full, and all of our cabinets are full of food. It's crazy. Then to Burger King. I actually hate burger king, but it's the only thing remotely American here other than McDonald's, but they are both really expensive here. I guess it's really "foreign". They love American stuff here. I think I have seen more LEVY's jeans, and VAN's shoes, OREO's cookies here then back home. I think it's kind of funny, because people here have great style, very European, until you realize that they are just wearing our clothes, in a better, more classy way. Then we gave away 4 LDM's to add to the goal, and then we just passed by some people but no one was home.
MARTES:
So we plan the night before, for the next day. So normally during studies we call people and see if they can meet that day. So we had made our plan of all of the people who we were going to pass by, and then the next morning we called all of them, and they all told us that they couldn't meet, so we ended up doing carpeta in the morning, but then after medio-dia we had a really great lesson with this lady called Carmen. She is Spanish, and is looking for a way to have a better, closer relationship with god, so we went over and talked about how she could accomplish that, which is the restoration of the gospel of Jesus Christ. Anyhow, it was our first Lesson with her, but she is super cool. She wants to be baptized. So we are hoping that she will be able to be baptized then! Okay so after that we had English classes, and then N.D Jas. So today we gave away 5 LDM's which was cool, and we finally have a new investigator to add to the list!
MIERCOLES:
So in the morning we did a lot pass-bys, and i found some really pretty parts of Leon that I had never seen. Fear not. I have pictures. Then as we were on the way to pass by one of our less active members named Gaudy, we ran into her into the street. I actually went up to contact her, when i realized who it was. She told us that she is moving back to her pais. So after that, we went to do even more pass-bys and then passed by Los Cachuguay, Which is our mission leaders family. They are super sweet, so we went and hung out with Guillermo, their son who could quite possibly be the cutest little boy that i have ever seen. Then we went to teach Maribel, Moises, Alan, and Emily! We brought Mosiah who is the son of the family who feeds us every Sunday. He is about to leave for his mission to Fortaleza, Brazil! He leaves in like 2 weeks or something. Crazy. So we brought him to help us with the lesson, which went really awesome. At the end of the lesson, we asked them to be baptized as a family, and they said yes. So we are working on that as well! So today we gave away 6 LDM's.
JUEVES:
So we planned in the morning. Then the Gijon Hermanas came t our piso and we ate spaghetti with chicken, becauase after medio-dia e had interviews with President pack. That was cool. Then we did intercambios with them. So I was with Hermana Nielson, who es una maquina. So we passed by Maria Dolores and taught her about the Holy Ghost. Then we tried to passy by some other people but everything else fell thru, but we still had so much fun. So Hermanas Maza, and Mendoza Taught our new investagator namde Vetter, who is from Columbia. He also has a baptim date for the 4th of February. So that is awesome as well. Then they had a lesson with Hortensia who is a member, and then we came back to the piso. We only handed out 2 LDM's because we are completely out. We have ordered more though. So then they stayed the night with us, because friday we had Zone Conference.
VIERNES:
So We had Zone Conference, which was really amazing. We talked about repentance and how it's a gift that we have to make us feel better, and to help us become clean. It was really amazing. Then I got a Christmas Letter form my mommy which was cute. Then after that I sang musical number with Elder Hooker who is Aviles. We sang Acompaneme. (I Don't Have a Spanish Keyboard so sorry for that.) Which is abide with me. It was okay. Then we went with Ruben, the ad of the family who feeds us on Sundays. We wet to visit his friend, Agustin, who had a ton of really great questions, and is really interested. Then we had N. D. Rama, and the elders taught. We got LDM's today for the AP's so we ended up giving out 4.
SABADO:
Then we did a bunch of pass-by's and set up a bunch of appointments. Then we had correlation with Pedro, and then we taught Ines, who is just the sweetest little Dominican lady that you could ever meet. She also has a baptism date for the 4th of February. Then we had English class, with a bunch of people. Then we went and gave maria Dolores a birthday present. She is so sweet!
DOMINGO:
So we had Consejo, which is ward council. (It's just a church meeting with all of the leaders of our branch or ward where we talk about the things that we need to do, change, and set goals.) Then we had church. Then we did even more pass-bys and set up even more cita's for this week, and then we went to the Riveras. It was funny. It was elder Kisers first night with them, and they love playing jokes on us. So they were messing with him, but they actually didn't do really anything to him, which was maddening because they mess with me way more. But it was fun anyways, because when we were leaving elder kiser accidental knocked down their chandelier, but it was one that you hang up to put candle in and stuff, and it was funny. So we gave out 3 LDM's.
So as for our goal, we are up to 80 LDMs this week, toward the total. So we didn't give out quite as many this week but it's because we didn't have very many. But as for right now we have high hope for two people being baptized, as well as an awesome family before the end of his transfer!
Anyhow, I love you all very much, and i hope that you all have wonderful weeks filled with miracles!
Also Read: Ether 12: 6
6 And now, I, Moroni, would speak somewhat concerning these things; I would show unto the world that faith is things which are hoped for and not seen; wherefore, dispute not because ye see not, for ye receive no witness until after the trial of your faith.
LOVEYOUALL!!!!
