6.11.18: Blonds...What Can Ya Do?

The Lord once again has blessed us with many miracles this week! One of the highlights of this week was yesterday. We stopped a woman on the street who automatically said she wasn't interested in our message because of things she had read on the internet about the Mormons. We asked her for some specifics, and it turns out that what she read was completely false (go figure...) and we actually ended up sitting down with her right there on a bench and taught her the Restoration!  One of the things she read was that Mormons believe that people with blond hair and blue eyes are perfect and celestial, (pues...es verdad, jajaja  [well...it's true, hahaha]) and everyone else is going to hell...jajaja!  I have heard a lot of ridiculous things about Mormons, but that was a first! But the Spirit was so powerful and she told us that she has been praying to God for years that He would lead her to the truth and we testified to her that her answer was finally here! We gave her a Book of Mormon and are excited to meet with her again and teach her more! She has had a hard life and has a hunger for truth that I know this gospel can fill. You really never know who has been prepared and who is searching for the light of this beautiful gospel. God is so REAL! 

Today we woke up super early to go to Barce. We met up with some pals from the mtc because we are going to hit one year this week (um, what?). We went to some bunkers that overlook the entire city and it was such a dream! I cannot believe how blessed I am! I live in Spain! Pretty sure life just cannot get any better! 

Weekly gem comes to you from Spencer J. Condie (no idea who he actually is)...

"This life is the journey, not the final destination"  <--- just meditate on that for a sec...es verdad [it's true]! 

Hope you are all still living the DREAM! I adore you all<3

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] ...
