Week 63 in Spain! (10th Week in Mostoles)

2/9/15

My week was really good! It was a lot better than last week and we had some really good things happen! Robert is doing great and progressing so much! I really enjoy teaching him and it is crazy how much he understands now. The Spirit is helping us so much! We moved his baptismal date to the 21st of February! We're super excited! We also have a new investigator named Florentino. He is from Bolivia and is about 60 (that’s what he said in English class, but I think that is the only number he can say). He always says, "I'm getting old and I just want to make sure that when I die, I'm going to go to Paradise." He came to church and he does everything we ask him to. He's super funny! We also are meeting with this woman named Nini. She's Spanish and has a brain tumor. It was really hard to get a hold of her because she's always in the hospital, but she seems so sweet and loving. The member that gave us the reference told us some really good things about how special she is. She really thinks this is her time, so we'll see what happens. I'm really excited to get to know her though, she seems really neat!

We have a lot of things coming up this month. We get to go to the temple on Wednesday and then the next week is our mission tour! I'm really excited! Elder Dyches is coming to talk to us and it’s going to be really neat. We are going to spend a lot of time talking about families and using family history in missionary work. It was so interesting that Grandpa sent that story about Grandma Brumble. The perfect things to help me get ready for the mission tour. It was so neat to learn more about our family history and it really helps bring the spirit. President Jackson said one time that our ancestors are with us always helping is with this work. It is so true and I can feel love from my family every day!

I really enjoyed hearing what Jameson said. I have felt that a lot on my mission. There have been times when I've really missed you guys and how I've really felt the love I have for all of you grow. It has been really interesting being able to take that love and help others feel it as well. If there is one thing that I have really enjoyed and have learned on my mission is having the opportunity to love others and help others feel the love that Heavenly Father has for them. My companion, ward members, and investigators.

I love you so much and I want you to know how much I appreciate all the support and love I receive. It keeps me going and it has blessed and changed my life.

I'll see you guys soon!

Love Kenzie

Ps. My companion, Sister Spencer from Parma, Idaho, was taught math by Aunt Pam! What a small world!
