September 24, 2018 "My Honduran/ steak on my balcony" Week # 61 Madrid Spain Mission






Well folks this week was quite interesting. Today (here in Madrid) we played basketball for a solid 5 hours so not gonna lie my desire to write this is waning along with my proper use of grammar but I'll try my best.

Okay so i have a new comp Elder Cubas. Great dude we get along great and this week we went hard in the paint. Trying to really get things rolling with all the potential we have. We have a couple people who are progressing pretty well. First off dude named Al. He moved from Bangladesh to England pretty young now he's teaching English here in Spain. Super awesome. Then we have these two Romanian twins that are still hanging in there. We have another Romanian named Alex who is my age. Absolute stud. Freak athlete super humble super nice. He'll get bapped.  We also are going hard with less actives and their non member family 

When we taught Al this week he invited over to his flat to eat. We hung out for a bit talking, then he serves up steak, potatoes, zuchinni, and a great salad. All washed down with some OJ. 

Miracle Saturday coming in clutch, goes to show we will get more out of serving others than ourselves. We went to a branch activity, which was hiking a mountain. That was fun, then we went to help a member move. After a couple hours we ate lunch shared a message, and there was a friend of one of the daughters who is inactive who helped with the move. He loved the message and we ate lunch again Sunday and shared another message. He's doing great. 

Things are good. I hope you all have a good week, remember to say your prsyers, count your blessings, read your scriptures, be humble, be obedient, and keep on going! Love you all!

What's up what's up its your favorite door to door salesman out  here doing the Lords work! (If you never saw the Snapchat series I'm sorry you missed out) This week was killer, we straight grinded. We've started a lot of new things lately and there are about to be some changes, were just laying that solid foundation right now. This week we taught a little, our investigator Jenny is practically a member we're just waiting till the week after General Conference to have the baptism. Our boy Juan is doing good, after his contact with missionaries in 92 he hasn't had much more but little by little were watching the spirit change his heart and pique his interest. If Anyone knows of some guy with the last name of Sampson thats from Alpine and is in his 40s, give him my numb.... uh email. Haha it would be cool to reconnect him and Juan after 25 years. Everyone is still pretty basic and we've started to work with new people so more updates coming soon!  This...

Good Morning U.S.A.!!  Well what can I say, last week was Christmas and we had a good call with the fam. Now were looking down the barrel of 2019.  It's been a couple great weeks here in Badajoz, there is a ton of potential and we have a couple of friends that are progressing well and will soon have baptismal dates. The branch is great, I've eaten lunch in our flat a total of 4 times since I've gotten here haha. And apart from that they are all incredible when it comes to the work, and we had a really inspiring class from President Vallecio on the changes in the church and how it's going to help the members and the missionary work!  If you can't tell I am excited on a whole other level to get the work going!  This past week we spent Christmas in Cáceres with the other Elders and a matrimony the Hubbs. It was great and we ate pretty similar to a normal Christmas which was fantastic! Then we came back and put some work in. In one day our di...

The Week of the Elect Week #9

Image
This week was absolutely nuts! So some back story, every since I've gotten here in the mission I've told my companion that we need to find the Lord's "elect"  D&C 33:6 And even so will I gather mine elect from the four quarters of the earth, even as many as will believe in me, and hearken unto my voice.  D&C 29:7 And ye are called to bring to pass the gathering of mine elect; for mine elect hear my voice and harden not their hearts; Because me being fresh out of the mtc I was gung-ho on taking care of business. My companion gets hung up on every single person, so I constantly reminded that we need to find those that are ready to except the gospel. This week our hard works came to fruition. We finally were able to meet and teach a member referral Christina. So last week when she showed up for her appointment her and the member were in an all out like screaming match so that was super scary but it all calmed down. We had already set a baptismal date wi...
