¡¡¡HOLA A TODOOOOS!!!
This week has been FULL of miracles.
Tuesday: To start off, we got to do exchanges, and I had the amazing pleasure to be with the wonderful Elder Sircable. He has the same time in the mission as me, and he is such an amazing missionary, he is so hard working. We saw a bunch of miracles. We met someone from Poland and we were able to get her number and hopefully we will have a cita with her soon. We also found an amigo of the Elders that were here a few months ago named Adam and he and the Spaniard that he takes care of were super excited and interested in english class and the church. We also met some Canadians, and they didn't want to come to church but it was pretty sick to meet more English speakers 😂
Wednesday: Wednesday was super good, we got to pick oranges and eat with Obispo, and I figured out that he is my stepmom's step-dad's second cousin, which was wild to find out. We had a lesson with Felipe and made a plan for him to quit tobacco by the time of his fecha (baptismal date)! He is so willing and he understands everything so clearly. I know that he can only go up from here.
Thursday: We were able to teach a family from Colombia at a park near our house, and they are so amazing. They are also very interested in English class 😂 But they have a love for Christ and are pretty religious and spiritual. I know that as they read the Book of Mormon, they will come closer and closer to Him and partake more and more of His love. We were also able to give a blessing to a member from Barcelona, and she is so nice and gave us Coke and Magdalenas after the blessing.
Friday: Not much happened on Friday. We had district council and went to meet with people but then when we got there they said they couldn't meet, so basically just some contacts in the street and on the phone.
Saturday: Saturday was probably the craziest day of my mission. We had 5 lessons, and the first one was not the most productive, the person we taught told us a bunch of crazy stories, but we were able to teach about how God is our loving Heavenly Father and we were able to give a Book of Mormon and testify of it, and i know that the Book of Mormon will lead and guide her.
We then had a call with a friend, and we were teaching him the restoration, and I was half way through the first vision and then he just hung up, when we called him back he was acting funny and then told us that he took 140 pills, and so long story short we called the ambulance over to his house and everything was fine, he is ok and living luckily.
Right after that, we had a lesson with some recent converts from Portugal and they were so nice and such a spiritual family. We talked about the Book of Mormon and they had such amazing insights and things to say. It made me so happy to see such a strong spiritual family. After that, we made arepas with our friend Yeigris and her family. She is just waiting to get married and then she will get baptized, her daughter is a recent convert and her brother is a member as well, and they are such a fun family, the arepas were delicious and the lesson was so amazing, the Spirit is so strong every time.
Sunday: Sunday was pretty great. Our amigo Javier offered to take us to church, and so that was super nice of him. We got a referencia from someone and we called him and usually they don't answer, or they say they aren't interested, but he was so interested and we were able to meet with him that night just a few hours later and talk to him about the Book of Mormon and the restauración, and it was so amazing he really wants to read and he is so wonderful.
Today me and Elder Sircable and Elder Kailiponi went to the Alcázar in Jerez and it was so cool. It reminded me of the Prince of Persia 😂 We are on our way to Madrid right now, so watch out for churros on my photo album 😂

This week I would invite you all to read your patriarchal blessing. And if you haven't already gotten it, then I would invite you all to get it. It will bless your life and give you so much direction. Read it frequently. Read the Book of Mormon frequently and abide by its precepts, do what it says, live the Doctrine of Christ. By doing so, you will feel the most love, joy, and peace in your life as possible. I know that the Lord loves and knows each and every single one of you personally and perfectly. Turn to Him, and He will lead you. In the name of Jesus Christ, amén.
Os quiero, que tengáis lo mejor día de vuestra vida ❤️
