Well
what a week it has been, it has just been full of emotions. I'm now writing you
from a Dunkin Donuts shop here in Zaragoza. Definitely a bit different compared
to the mission office, ha I was a bit spoiled in Barcelona. But as you can
tell, I've been transferred! It's been an emotional few days as I've had to say
goodbye to soooo many people that I love. I definitely left a part of my heart
in Barcelona. Sunday was fast and testimony meeting so I was able to share my
testimony. I was definitely holding back tears as I looked out at so many faces
that I love so much. I was able to learn and grow so much in that area and I'm
very excited to apply it to my new area in Zaragoza. We live 45 minutes out of
our area here. My companion is so great, she is very energetic and loves the
work. This companionship was inspired and I'm very excited to be here! My
companions name is Hermana Helton, she's from Iowa and she has about 4 months
in the mission! We live in a 4 man piso (apartment) here and the other Hermanas
are natives so I'll be able to speak some more Spanish! I'm really excited to
get working with the members here and just get the work moving!
Well, on Saturday we saw the baptism of Flora!!! It was amazing, she was so happy and we had such great support from the ward members. Flora has a five-month old baby girl who loves to cry at the wrong moments but it was still a very beautiful service. She was confirmed on Sunday and I was able to go and say goodbye to her yesterday! (I have lots of pictures to send so be ready) I said goodbye to most of the members I was wanting to say goodbye to and I could just feel so much love from them. Our recent convert Santi and his wife Wanda were definitely hard to say goodbye to. But we were able to do a niche de hogar (family home evening) with them last night and our investigator Nestor and we learned how to make Venezuelan arrepas (Venezuelan Bread)! Santi is honestly the greatest member missionary I have ever seen and he was baptized 2 weeks ago!
I loved being able to talk to you all on Sunday, it's so crazy to think we were all in different parts of the world but we were all still able to see and talk to each other at the same time. Oh I love technology ;).
Love you all so much!
