4.16.18: Group Karaoke For the Ganar (Win)

Ok, wow! So many classic things this week! So much happens in one day that I cannot even remember what I did yesterday...

Just still living the dream here! The other night we went to an evangelical bible study group that one of our investigators insisted that we attend. Jajaja, I cannot even describe how classic it was...complete with some group karaoke Christian rock from YouTube (not just one, but 4 complete songs...) and some welcome goody bags for all the new people. (Ok that part was more Mormon than they will ever know, jajaja). By the time we left, an hour later, they were just barely starting the actual bible part...hahahaha...I love it! I left there with a renewed conviction that our church is so true!! Jajajaja.

The miracle of this week is Marta! Marta is an amazing woman who is here from Honduras! She just moved here from Sevilla. This week she not only got a job, but it is a job that she doesn't have to work on Sundays (which is very rare!). I know that is was literally a miracle from God that her job doesn't include Sundays so she can still come to church. This week we sent her a chapter to read in the Book of Mormon and she read it, and also read 4 other chapters after it as well! At church yesterday, she stayed all three hours, even though it meant she had to reschedule plans with her friend! I just love her so much and want her to be able to partake of the bounty of blessings that the gospel brings! She is such a strong woman and has been through so much in her life and I know that this gospel will bring her the peace that she deserves.

Today for preparation day, we had a zone activity of football... aka all the elders re-live their high school glory days...jajajaja love it! So classic! But no complaints because it finally stopped raining and the sun came out and we were by the ocean, so what more can I ask for?! Such a good lifeee!

I love you all and hope all is well in your worlds! 

Stay gold <3

3.19.18: GOLD

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] ...

Today, I will get a new comp...I have not had a comp for more than 1 transfer my entire mission...kind of crazy!
