Week 100 (Welcome to the 100th week)

Wow! Hey everyone, welcome to the 100th week of the mission. That's kinda wild. Anyway, we had a good productive week this past week and we saw lots of miracles. We've had to clean out a lot of our teaching pool, but we've been finding a lot and working with the members. Our friend Antonio is awesome. He has some challenges but is so ready to learn and have a positive change in his life. It's gonna be really really good for him. I had my second to last Sunday and got to bear a quick testimony and it was awesome. But we're looking forward to this upcoming week and getting after it. 

Next week I'll have a good email and kind of recap the past 2ish years of my mission. But for now, just know it has been the biggest blessing in my life. For those who are thinking about serving a mission or have just received a mission call; Take courage, it will be the best thing you ever do. 

Pensamiento Espiritual: 
I love what Nephi says in 1 Nephi 16:29 he says, "And thus we see that by small means the Lord can bring about great things." Just a reminder that what we do can make a big difference in the lives of others. 
Have a great week! Os quiero

Week 97 (It's always more beautiful after the storm)

Image
That it's always more beautiful after the storm. It was a good reminder of that this week. After a decently difficult weekend this past week we were looking to get out there and have a good rebound week and get things going. The first two days of this past week were toughhh. I just mean that it was all day trying to find and only finding rejection. But it all worked out ok in the end! We tried to keep our head up and do the best we could. After those tough days and a little extra prayer we started to see miracles, like way above the normal amount of miracles and it was so so amazing to see and be a part of that. From random encounters with people that we've taught in the past to meeting some awesome people with lots of potential, to just the little things, it was very humbling to be a part of.  One of these examples is when we were traveling to an area to contact. We jumped on the metro and started some contacts. I made eye contact with this woman and her daughter and they bot...

Week 13 (Tower of Babel!)(General Conference!)

Image
Qué pasa mis amigos!?! Cómo les van con todo?  This week was soooo awesome and flew by so I hope this email makes sense and I can fit everything in.  Elder Poppitti and I are working hard and it's so fun. We're street contacting and talking to more people, and I can tell my Spanish is getting a little better. But sometimes people start talking about random stuff and I just don't have the vocab so I pretend I understand what's going on and that seems to get me by for now, hahaha.  The Tower of Babel: People in this part of Spain like to speak Valenciano. It's super cool but also not super cool if you're trying to learn to understand spanish. We were at a ward lunch and I was talking with a group of ladies in the ward. I was following the conversation until they started talking with each other. Suddenly, I didn't understand a thing. It felt like my ability to communicate was confounded, and all my progress in speaking Spanish had vanished. Then I realized they...

Week 94 (We're just a little behind!)

Image
That's what I got told as we entered the mission office for interviews with the president this week. We were supposed to start at 3, but didn't actually start until 5. But, I always love interviews and getting to talk with my mission president! And we had a good week on top of all of that so that's good. We're working hard and we're seeing lots of blessings in the work! This week we also had the privilege of fasting so that's always a spiritual bonus. We're entering the last week of the transfer so we're looking to go at it.  This week we had exchanges and I got to be with Elder Michaelson. He's awesome, we started the mission at the same time and both got trained in the Valencia zone so we've been pretty good mission buddies. But it's just been fun to see how we've all grown and changed as missionaries. It's been pretty special.  Pensamiento Espiritual:  I loved Come Follow Me this week. The story of Enos and the power of sincere pra...
