MILAGROS 10/2

October 2, 2017

Hola familia y amigos!!! How are you? Looks like you all had a great conference weekend! I literally love conference so much, we were able to watch all sessions except Sunday afternoon so I was extremely grateful for that! We set up an elder’s tablet and plugged it into a speaker and we were able to watch it in english! I love conference, but as a missionary it is just 10x better. Also, we had an investigator come to the Sunday morning session, Gustavo! I've mentioned him before, he's the one that contacted us and was curious about genealogy and english classes. He's been coming to all of our classes and we have been able to teach him after our English class. We have also been getting a lot of the members involved, this past Thursday we had a member come to the english class and she was amazing. Her testimony was just what he needed to hear and he went to conference a few days after. We’re meeting with him again this Thursday with the same member and I am so excited. 

We also met an amazing woman from Bolivia this past week, she has a 1 year old son and she is so excited to learn more about the gospel! We’re meeting again with her on Wednesday! Something we have also really been focusing on is getting the members involved and getting them excited to help us, as we meet with them and talk to them about missionary work they are so excited and so willing to help us and I truly have seen miracles as they share their testimonies in our citas (appointments) with investigators! 

Which brings me back to conference, I wish I had my notes with me but I just want to share a few thoughts I had from conference. I thought a large theme of conference was service. As latter day saints, we must always be looking for ways to serve and help others. I don't remember the speaker but something that stood out to me was about service, we should wake up every morning and ask ourselves, "how can I be a light in someone's life today?" There is always someone out there that needs our help, or needs the blessings of the gospel. God is always preparing people for is, so we must always be humble enough to listen to the prompting of the spirit and help those around us! 

Well other news, I'm sure you have heard, and I actually don't know if it's that huge. But Catalunya is trying to be there own country and there have been lots of riots going on here. We haven't seen any of it (we've been staying away) but we've heard shouting and chants at night. I don't know what will happen but don't worry we’re safe here in good old Sabadell (town Katie is serving in).

Love you all!!!
