I had a really good week. Things didn't go exactly the way we had planned, but Heavenly Father knows better than us and what we need. Sometimes I need to trust in him more and know that everything happens for a reason.
This week it seems like we had a ton of meetings. Last Monday and Tuesday I had to getempatronized. That is always so annoying and it seems like I have to tell everyone everything about my life because they get super confused about what missionaries are. I had to fill out a ton of papers because they made me change our piso contract and then I had to get things scanned
and set to the office and printed. I've never had to do that by myself before, the last time I was empatronized was in Gijon and I was the one being trained. I called the office and they told me that they wanted me to getempatronized so they could apply for my new residency card (mine now has been expired since NOVEMBER!) and then they said that I probably won't get it before I go home! Then why do I have to do this! Sometimes the office elders get lazy, but I have to be obedient and patient and trust that everything will work out. I just have to make sure I'm careful with the cops till I go home;)
On Wednesday we went to the temple. That was so fun. I love the temple and it had been a while since we had gone. It felt good to go back. I felt spiritually fed:)
This Sunday we had to go back to Pavones for our stake conference. It was really good and it was fun seeing everyone from Leganes. I miss a lot of them. President Jackson bore his testimony and said that the secret to missionary work was when the members love the missionaries and the missionaries love the members. When everything we do is centered on love we can work together more unified in Christ. It sounds like you and mom and doing exactly what you need to and I know how much it means to those missionaries, because it means to much to me here. President and Hermana Jackson also came up to me to ask me about Nini our investigator with the brain tumor. The Member that gave us her number spoke to the Jacksons about it and how much it is helping Nini and her husband. We haven't even met the husband and he called us "angels". I talked to the Jackson about her interest. Nini is, sad to say, really close to passing the veil and probably won't be able to get baptized. But this has changed my life. It has been such a sweet experience serving her and loving her. I know that we are preparing her to accept the gospel, if not now, then the afterlife. She is a sweet spirit and I know It's softening her husband’s heart as well.
This week we have the mission tour! I'm really excited to find out what Elder Dyches has to tell us! We'll have to travel back to Pavones though....that’s not too fun, but it’s worth it!
I can't believe Derek's home already! That’s really cool that he served in Cameroon. My district leader Elder Maya is from Cameroon. I've been in a couple of lessons with him where he had to speak French. It’s pretty cool.
I am always strengthened by the testimonies of others. I've been reading the Book of Mormon again. I have a Heavenly Father who loves me and Jesus Christ is my savior. I love you and miss you so much! I can't wait to see you guys. Have a great week. I pray for you guys every day!
