This week has been wonderful.

Tuesday we (all of the missionaries in the Spain Madrid South mission) were able to go to the temple in Madrid, and it was so amazing. The Spirit was the strongest that I have ever felt in my life. I got to stay overnight with Elder Jensen in Madrid to get my residency, and so we went an hour and a half to the police station, went to get my residency card, and then realized I didn't have my passport, so we went back to Madrid and got dinner and slept 🤣

Wednesday we got Elder Jensen's residency and it was super lit, he is such a funny guy, I love him so much. 

Thursday we taught Luis and Juan the rest of the things that they need to know for baptism, and they are all ready for Saturday the 21st!! Please pray for them 🙏

Friday there was a concert of people with clarinets and big band in the church, and it was beautiful. Although nobody was really interested in the church, it was pretty cool.

Saturday we were able to go to a JAS (young single adult) activity with our amigos, and it was super friend. There is a recent convert that is deaf, his name is Jader, and he is so sweet. I've been able to learn a bit of sign language to talk to him and he is just the coolest guy ever, he is so sweet and spiritual, I love him so much. One of our members also gave us all a Christmas present, and it was the sweetest thing ever. The people here are the nicest ever, I love them so much.

Sunday was a pretty normal day. We had a lot of people come to church and it was wonderful. We also ate with a couple who the wife served her mission in Barcelona, and the husband is from Colombia and plays the saxophone, and they were so nice and loving and have the coolest story. Im so grateful for all of the amazing people here.

Today has been wonderful. We went to Benidorm and went to a chocolate factory and then the beach, and it was so beautiful. The chocolate factory had Hernan cortes and Mayan artifacts and it was super cool.

I would love to invite each and every one of you to take charge of your personal conversion. If the only things you know are from what other people have told you, then you will never know enough. You have to know for yourself. So, take charge of your personal conversion. Read the Book of Mormon. Invite and learn from the Spirit. Allow the Holy Ghost to give you a personal witness of the truth. This is the church of Jesus Christ. God is our loving Heavenly Father. Jesus Christ is the only way to return back to live with Him and our Heavenly Father in eternal glory and joy.

I love you all, and I am so grateful for each and every one of you, I love you all so much 🫶❤️🫶❤️🫶❤️

¡Adios!
