Hi guys!! ☺️
I truly did not think that I would be this bad at writing emails but I promise I'm alive and well, just soo busy!! Today we're in Madrid for zone conference so I had a little extra time to write something. We just went to the temple again too!!! 🤗 ahh I love it there!! Then on friday we'll head back to our little isla 🏝
These past couple of weeks have been so busy but SO good. God has been blessing us with so many miracles! After the majority of our progressing friends got baptized last transfer we have been on a diligent finding grind and God is preparing so many people for us to teach!
We have some really promising friends but lots of them are still super new! It's so cool meeting so many different people who want a change in their lives and have recognized that God can bring about that change. Knowing that this gospel blesses all of God's children in individual ways is so cool and makes teaching them so special!! I'm excited to keep teaching them and watching them grow. They all have such a strong desire to know the truth and I have no doubt that they will find it here!
We have eaten such good food here. Hermana Ence and my current obsession are acai bowls and cachapas. I think in an alternate universe I'm a venezuelan because hooolllyyyy crap their food is SO GOOD. I think that God knows me perfectly by sending me to Spain because one of the coolest parts about serving here is being able to learn about and experience so many other cultures. I love it!!!
Tonight we have another MLC and tomorrow we have Zone Conference and Elder Jack Gerard from the 70 is coming!! I'm super excited and I know that the spirit will be so strong!!

Mosiah 16:4-5
4 Surely he has borne our griefs, and carried our sorrows; yet we did esteem him stricken, smitten of God, and afflicted.
5 But he was wounded for our transgressions, he was bruised for our iniquities; the chastisement of our peace was upon him; and with his stripes we are healed.
I've been studying a lot about the atonement these past couple of weeks. For so long I didn't understand why Christ had to suffer such horrible things when he lived a perfect life. God is all powerful, why couldn't he just save us without having to send his son to suffer? I'm still just barely scratching the surface of the concept of the atonement and why Jesus Christ chose to take upon himself all of our sins and pains, but now I recognize just how necessary it was. It would literally be impossible to be saved into the kingdom of God without it. We needed a savior, someone to SAVE us, and no one else could've done such an act, it had to be Jesus Christ. I read this scripture the other day and I really just love it so much! "With his stripes we are healed". He suffered everything and because of him, we are healed! He has saved us!!
I wish I could tell you about every little miracle that I've seen these past couple of weeks but we both don't have the time for that. Just know that God loves me, and you, and everyone else. I love my mission and I'm so lucky to be in such a unique place gathering his children!!
Les quiero muchísimoooo! Email me and tell me whats up! ❤️🔥
