October 17, 2018 Week #64 Madrid Spain Mission "Gotcha pt. 2 hehe not really"



Well folks sorry to let you down on Monday with no email, it's just that this transfer has been going by pretty fast and I totally/kinda forgot that this week we had the temple, I knew,  just was floating around there in the back of my mind. 

So today was killer, temple is so cool. One thing I want to testify of first off is patience. Just because you don't get what you want in the moment you want, doesn't mean your faith isn't enough, or your faith in God and Jesus Christ is wrong, it just means it's not the right moment. Don't put conditions pertaining to your beliefs or faith that are based on something you cant control. I would love to have some amazing experience in the temple, and let's be real it's very possible because those things happen (not because I'm special lol). But it's never gonna happen when I want it to, it will happen when God wants it to happen. Our part is to be patience, be humble, and prepare ourselves. 

As for the week, it was good. Lots of work, lots of people, lots of potential. Even though Valentín didn't get baptized because his sister didn't let him, he is still preparing to be baptized some day. We have Alex who is still doing well, taking steps little by little. Then we had Ivan, a reference from a member who we met a while back, he came to church Sunday. Then we started working with a few more people. This week we had two days of companion exchanges and we saw a ton of miracles. People are gonna get saved. The work goes on!

I hope all of you are studying the scriptures, and the words of our modern day prophets. Don't forget to do it! Remember to pray, count your blessings, be more understanding and patient, take advantage of everyday, remember to be humble, and DON'T GIVE UP!

Love all of you, have a good week!


Pics coming later..... maybe

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...
