Well Paco is officially a baptized man! His baptism was so fabulous! He invited just about everyone he knows, including his Catholic priest friend who conveniently had a "full calendar," haha shocker! Also the chapel does not have a font, so we set up a little swimming pool in the basement and filled it with water. It was quite the process to assemble it, but it all worked out in the end (with a few minor leaks!). The real miracle is that Paco only took 5 mins to bear his testimony. The man can talk FOREVER. We told him he had a time limit and he did pretty well. The best was the end when we were waving him down, he lifted both hands in the air and made peace sounds and yelled "PAZ, PAZZZ, PAZZZ EN EL NOMBRE DE JESUS" jajaja it was the BEST! Now we are supposed to reteach him all the lessons, but usually he ends up teaching us! He has taught me so much about faith and really handing everything over to the Savior and letting him change you! We all have different weaknesses and challenges, but the Savior has been through it all and can help us overcome anything. It is truly an incomprehensible gift! (Wow, I am such a missionary, sry.)
The ward here is small and very diverse, but they are great! I feel right at home during sacrament meeting because everyone is so terrible at singing, haha. It is seriously painful sometimes! Overall, they are wonderful, and very patient with my lack of Spanish!
Spain is the best! On Saturday, we went on a hike with our investigators to an old castle and it was so rad! Everything is so green! And today we went with our district to a monastery on a mountain called Monserrat. We hiked up to it from the train stop and it was gorgeous! My comp was not a fan of the the hike (bless her heart), but I adored it:)
I hope everyone is doing well! I always adore getting your emails:)
Stay gold everyone!
I love you all!!
