Bom día!! Como estem vocês?? Eu estou aprendendo português!
So transfers happened and I said goodbye to my best friend ever Hermana Ence 😪 we had so much fun together and saw countless miracles. God really used us as his instruments these last 2 transfers. Good thing I'll see her in a couple of weeks!
It's been a while. Soo much has happened these past couple of weeks! We had zone conference in Madrid with a general 70 and it was so good and spiritual! (And I got to see all of my best friends hehe)
We've done lots of exploring around our island. Went to this place called "Monkey park". I'm sure you can guess what that was like hahaha and then we went to the sand dunes on the other island! Didn't even know that those existed here but they were so beautiful!!
Ate lots of good food as always! Andddd then last week we had transfers!
My new companion is Hermana Teixiera and she is from BRAZIL!! 🇧🇷 She is so beautiful and such a light. Speaking spanish all day is super different and has definitely humbled me but it's been so good and I'm soo excited to spend these next couple of weeks with her!! I have also been on my portuguese studying GRIND these past couple of days. I've never wanted to learn this language more than I do right now. Catch me at the end of this transfer falando português!
We are also now ward sharing!! The Elders stole our piso 😒 so we now live with the other hermanas in their area! It will be an experience for sure but I'm happy. There's so much work to do here and the elders are going to help so much! Oh AND now we're the STLs over Pamplona so I get to go back there for exchanges!! Soo random but I'm so excited
We have some really amazing friends who are progressing so fast. I could talk about them all day! About a week ago we put our friend Darío on date to be baptized and then after teaching him the word of wisdom he said "you don't understand, I am ADDICTED to coffee. I can't go a day without it." We invited him to pray about it and try going just one day without it. We met with him the other day and I'm happy to report that out of 7 days of the week, he drank coffee 2 of those days!! 😁 I'm so proud of him and his efforts to do what he thought was impossible! God is so good. We have some other friends preparing to be baptized this transfer too and I just love meeting with them and bringing this light into their lives that they didn't even know was missing 🥹 that's my favorite part of being a missionary!!
This transfer might be the busiest transfer I will ever have. There's been a lot of changes and I'm still learning how to balance everything. Between flying to different places every week for exchanges, calls, preparing our friends for baptism, and now living 40 minutes from our area, it feels like we are hardly going to have any free time for the basics, like finding. I look at the transfer as a whole and genuinely don't know how we're going to be able to do it all. BUT I'm taking everything day by day and realizing that everything will work out according to God's plan!!
33 But if ye will turn to the Lord with full purpose of heart, and put your trust in him, and serve him with all diligence of mind, if ye do this, he will, according to his own will and pleasure, deliver you out of bondage.
This is just a scripture that I love!! If we turn to him, serve him, and trust him, we will be blessed. It's a simple act for a lifetime of blessings and protection!
I'm currently at the airport about to head to Madrid for MLC buttt we just missed our flight!!! We'll get there eventually 🫠 I hope you all have a goooood week!! Les quiero muchísimo! ❤️🔥
