¡¡¡Feliz año nuevooo!!! ¡¿Cómo estáis?!
This week has been one to remember for forever!!
Tuesday was a wonderful way to end off the year, we got to stay up until midnight, so we played some card games after work hours and then ate a bunch of grapes when it hit midnight 🤣
Wednesday we did exchanges and I got to be with the wonderful Elder Locci, and we had a great time, and got to record a video to post on the mission facebook, so that will be super super cool 🤣 We also ate at a member's house that has an owl and a super cool house and they are super amazing, I love them so much.
Thursday I was able to confer the Aaronic priesthood to our 2 most recent converts, Luis and Juan, and it was such an amazing experience. Our Heavenly Father and Jesus Christ will change so many lives through them. After that, we had English class and it was super super good, we had a bunch of people come and they were all super locked in 🤣 After that, Jonny talked with Obispo Moreira, and he said that he wanted to be baptized on Saturday!!! They are both from ecuador and so they get along super well, and the Spirit is always so strong when we are with bishop.
Friday we had a wonderful lesson with Maribel. Prayers would be very appreciated for her because she is going through a lot of hard times. Even though shes going through all of these hard things, she is super faithful. Elder Locci had the baptismal interviews with both Jonny and José Antonio, and they are both ready to be baptized tomorrow!!!
Saturday Daniel Cabal, soon to be Elder Cabal, opened his mission call, and he is going to the Concepción, Chile Mission!! Chile is the tierra prometida 🤣🤣 We also got transfer news, and Elder Palmer and I will be reopening Elda on Tuesday!! The STL's have been working there and in Elche, and from what ive heard it will be a great time 🤣 We meet in the Marriot Hotel for church and so I am super excited for that, its going to be super fun 🤣 Jonny and José Antonio got baptized as well!!! It was a super amazing experience, it makes me so happy to see so many people wanting to change and come closer to their Savior, Jesus Christ, and their Heavenly Father.
Sunday is the best day as always, Jonny and José Antonio recibieron el Espíritu Santo, and it was so amazing. The santa cena is always the best part of every week. We got to say goodbye to a bunch of the members and take pictures with them. Jader, a recent convert in Barrio 2 who is deaf and one of my best friends was super sad to see us go, he is so so sweet and such a máquina, he studies the scriptures so much and is so dedicated and continuously working to grow closer to Christ, I love that guy so much. We also got to have dinner with and say goodbye to the Justiniano's and they are so amazing, they do so much for us and I love them so much.
Today will be pretty lit, packing up and having a wonderful time here in the zone of Elche 🤣
I love you all so much. I would like to end off this email by asking a few questions for you guys to ponder about.
- How do you show God, your loving Heavenly Father, that you love Him?
- What is keeping you from feeling the Spirit stronger in your life?
- How can you develop your relationship with your Heavenly Father, and Savior, Jesus Christ?
- Why is it important to have a relationship with God, your Heavenly Father?
- What can Jesus Christ do for your life? What wounds can He heal? How can you allow him to change your life, heal your wounds, bring you peace and love?
Questions are so important. Questions that are sincerely asked, with true intent to listen and act and change, will do so much for each and every one of you. God has the answer to every question. You should have an eternal perspective and seek divinely appointed resources as you seek answers to your questions. Good questions, sought to be answered in the correct way, will lead to a deeper conversion. So, turn to God, ask Him questions with the intent to change and act on the impression that you receive, and wait for the change that the Lord brings to you.
I love you all and I am sincerely sorry if I am not able to respond to your email, things might be a little crazy with packing bags and this being the last p-day of the transfer, but I can promise you that I haven't forgotten about you and that I will get to it as soon as possible.
¡Que tengáis la mejor semana de vuestra vida! 🫶❤️
¡Os quiero!
