Hello family!!!! How are you all? Life is good here in good old
Barcelona. So an update on things, last week was a very slow week, we had all
of these 2nd visits set up and every single one of them fell through. The week
ended and I was a little down because we weren't able to find very many people
but I knew that there were miracles waiting for us this week. So Monday comes
and we didn't have any citas (visits) lined up and I was just praying for a
miracle. That afternoon we had planned to pass by a few less actives. We were
on a street we walked past quite often and I felt inspired to look at the menos
activos (less actives) that lived on the street. We decided to visit a less
active we had passed by a few times before. As we were ringing the timbre
(bell) we realized that when we were ringing the wrong one! haha So we rang it
and a man named Jorge answered, it turns out that he is the members father and
had previously met with missionaries quite a few times before. We started
talking and he said he had a Book of Mormón but he didn't understand the
purpose of it. So what did we do!? We taught him and helped him understand the
importance of the Book of Mormón. He got so excited, he told us he finally
understood and that he wants to meet with us more and read it! Such a miracle!
Another miracle, we were finally able to meet with a woman we
contacted on the street a few weeks ago. Her name is Karina and she's from
Bolivia. We met with her yesterday and she told us that she had actually met
with the missionaries before about five years ago and went to church and loved
it. But since that time she had moved and lost contact with them! She loved
hearing about the Book of Mormon and we are meeting with her again this week!
Another great thing we saw from el hábito misional that we're using
with all the members: we have officially presented it to all the members and
now we are starting to meet with the members and talk about each of the people
they wrote down. We are setting goals and making plans for each person that
they wrote down. Yesterday we met with a member and set all these goals and
made all these plans. As we were talking with her she just lit up, she felt
like she could finally start doing things for all these people in her life,
even as we were talking with her she started writing down more names! It was
incredible! I'll send a picture of the hábito misional we created!
Life is good here! Love you all, have a good week!
