3.26.18: Milagros pt.567

The Lord truly blesses us with miracles every.single.day! Everyday as we come into the door to our piso [apartment] and I reflect on all the events of the day, I am reminded over and over again that this truly is the Lord's work. Yesterday I was bummed because none of our investigators were able to make it to church and all of our citas [appointments] for the afternoon ended up cancelling. We ended up going to a pueblo to do pass-bys, but then by some crazy coincidence our phone and my tablet (with all of the pass-by points in them) ended up dying. Que suerte[What luck]! We went to the last address we had seen right before the phone died and it ended up that the woman who was in the area book doesn't live there anymore. However, the two adorable women who answered the door ended up letting us come in and teach them about the Book of Mormon! They are both amazing women who have had hard lives and have so much faith in the Savior, and I know that our message of Jesus Christ truly is the only thing that can bring them the lasting peace and happiness that they are searching for.

The Lord is so good to us and truly has a plan.  The hard part is having the patience to trust in His timing and keep the faith when everything seems to be falling apart. I have been taught over and over again that the Lord knows His children and knows what they need better than I do! I am so blessed to be here in Spain and it makes me so happy to represent my Savior in the streets of San Se!!

Today we went to a little pueblo by the ocean and took a little boat ride! Also, by some miracle the sun came out and it stopped raining for a quick 5 secs!! So blessed!! 

I hope you are all living the dream!! Thanks for all of the thoughts and prayers. I love you all!

Another week full of beautiful places and people here in San Sebastian! Wow, we have seen so many miracles this week! I cannot believe how good God has been to us. Hermana Jenkins and I have been so blessed!  Our mission has had a slow start to the year with baptisms, so we are doing a month long fast where every district takes a turn fasting for 24 hours. This week it was our district's turn  on  Friday/Saturday. Literally 2 hours after we started fasting, we met with a woman who the elders contacted on the street over a month ago....  Finally meeting with her, in and of itself, was a miracle! However, while we were talking with her on a bench, one of her friends walked by and came up to us. She started talking to us like we had met before and Hermana Jenkins and I were both really confused. I kept looking at my comp hoping she knew who this woman was because I, for sure, didn't!  It turns out that we had contacted her in my first week here, but it was late...

6.4.18: I Hope You Dance

Wow, life is so good! Every Wednesday, we go and volunteer in the local residencia de viejitos (retirement home mas o menos  [more or less] ). There are so many old people here, it is insane. Also, I am convinced that I want to die young.  Being old looks miserable! But anyway, they always have us help them with different little activities, and this week they were listening to music and they wanted us to sing for them, jajaja. That was a hard pass. But if you can't sing, then obviously you can at least dance, right?...Um actually no...but they made us dance anyway, jajaja.  There were like 50 old mujeres  [women]  and only like 3 or 4 little old hombres  [men] . Of course, all the women were too broken to even walk, so my comp and I were naturally the next in line to dance with the old men to random Spanish songs of amor  [love] . Probs not allowed as a missionary, but they are ancient so no pasa nada  [nothing happened] ...
