Message View Million Years Ago

Hello everyone, it has been a busy week. Not too much has happened, since we had pday on Tuesday last week and then Zone Conference on Thursday. In between we had "exchanges" with all the people in the zone here, and nothing to do. It looked like we were going to contact all day, but a packed morning and preparations for zone conference helped a bit. We also found 12 people between us 4. 

We also had choir (My comp has to play the piano and I have to sing) twice, 4 people at church, and 5 dates for baptism. It's going pretty well and looks like the transfer will end pretty well.

Not too much else happened, except for an archeological museum last pday (not that interesting to be honest), another small thunderstorm, and a lot of member meals set this week. Today we had a very Spanish pday, starting with churros and basically ending with making and eating paella and a tradition that goes with it🥘. 

For a spiritual thought:

I have been reading and studying a lot in President Monson's talks as we know and he seems to have a favorite scripture that he shares. I think that I have talked about this very subject before, but I want to share it again because it has become one of mine.

"Inasmuch as ye have done it unto one of the least of these my brethren, ye have done it unto me."

These words, spoken by the Savior, have inspired me a lot throughout my mission and I just keep hearing them. In talks (in person and conference), videos, family home evenings, and even in songs. One of my favorites has always been "A Poor Wayfaring Man of Grief." I'd love to invite you all to listen to it, but paying very close attention to the lyrics. Based off of these verses, it expands them and creates such great imagery. Anyways, thats about it for now! Hope you're all doing well and to hear all about it!

Id con Dios,

Hello everyone, this week has been much, much better. We found a lot more people and now have 2 people on date. This week was also transfers, so we had a ton of people in piso like usual. Trainers, zone leaders, and random people that got some of the worsts travel plans I have ever seen were all staying the nights Tuesday, Wednesday, and Thursday. A little crazy, but part of the start of a good week. Like I said earlier, we found a lot of people this week, over 25. I haven't hit those numbers since Alicante and there's a lot of promising people in there, too. Including one of the people on date for baptism. We met with him about 2 days after we met him, tried talking about the Plan of Salvation, but he was already ready for an invitation. Afterwards, he said he could sleep better after reading the Book of Mormon and felt so much peace at church. Diego also accepted the invitation after almost 2 whole transfers of working with him. He's always been really invested the lesson...

Hello everyone, it's been a long week. Why New Year's is a Pday and Christmas wasn't is beyond me, but we're here now. The next few weeks will be thursdays, too so everyone knows. We left off at ZL exchanges, and to be honest not much happened. We found a few people on the streets, brought a homeless member meat to cook in the church, and called a ton of people. Not quite as fun as ZL monkey, but still good. The next day was Christmas Eve, where we had a very odd, but fun dinner. From blasting Last Christmas during the toast to random english songs until 11:30, there was always something happening.  Christmas Day was looking good with all 3 meals, until only breakfast got confirmed. It was really good, but not quite the same. Christmas also brought completely empty streets. Contacting wasn't too fruitful this week, but by miracles alone we found some great people, including a family.  We also did some service this week, for a whole morning. It consisted of taking al...

  Hello everyone, since its not been long since we last spoke, this may (hopefully) be a little shorter. We ended off starting exchanges again, with me leading the area, also again. Elder Veater came to Barrio 2 with me, and apparently his famous. He's super good at singing so I believe it. It went pretty well, even when contacting 60+ year old Spaniards. Pretty entertaining, but not much happened. Our friend also said I have a gringo accent, so now im grinding pronunciation again. Zone conference was pretty good, pretty usual though. They also fed us twice which was a big bonus. Not much happened Saturday besides a baptism that was supposed to be combined with ours but we had to push it back unfortunately.  Sunday was pretty usual too, except we met with a member (I think?) from Mexico to bring the Sacrament to her. She then tried to give us what she insisted "wasn't tea," even after we pointed out the name of the whold drink was literally just "iced tea." ...
