1. First.. We had intercambios, so I went to Vigo to hang out with Hermana White for a day. She is about to go home and she just preached how fast it goes and learn to love each day. Something cool. We took a boat to our teaching appointment! Haha it was awesome! We sat up top and we got sprayed hard with ocean water. Coolest most beautiful thing ever. There are some seriously beautiful islands round these parts.
2. We met the best new investigators ever! We contacted them awhile ago and gave a book of Mormon so we go teach them and Kati and her cute daughter Esthefani explain how they loved reading the first few chapters and were able to apply the story of Nephi to their own life this week......... What!? We hadn't even taught them yet. I'm so excited to keep teaching them. They also remembered we mentioned this drink that we hadn't tried called Morir Soñando and so they had it all set up cute ti make it with us. Wow. It's crazy the love you can feel for people after knowing them for 1 hour. I want sooooooooooooooooooooooookoooo
3. We are helping a member quit smoking so we put together a little project. We've been visiting her and it's great. But cats....... And dogs............ Haha. Heaven Help me.
4. Also this week was the big Christmas holiday here in Spain, Día de los Reyes, it's when they get the gifts instead of Santa coming the three wise men come. But yeah... They have partying here since Christmas haha. But it's over now and everyone goes back to normal life today. But we used it as a contacting method and learned lots about the Spanish traditions, so of course we had to try it out. They have this cake called Roscón de Reyes, so we got some to try and then people keep giving more to us.. We've eaten so much. Haha and our Fridge just broke so we have a lot of food to put down today so it doesn't all go bad!
Yeah. I'm so happy. I just love the people here! Even if they don't love me! Haha.
I've been studying some if the Book of Mormon missionaries. I love Alma and Ammulek. Wow. They knew what it was like to sacrifice. They made covenants, kept them, accepted a calling and with that call were given authority. Through their diligence and this authority they were given power. This power is available through Jesus christ for each of us to serve in God's kingdom in ways that may seem impossible.
Through the atonement if Jesus christ we can receive power that enables us to be more than we now think possible.
Also.... I just am obsessed with being happy... Haha sometimes I miss my old 'Life is Good' hat... Life is good. If you want to be happy....... Then Be Happy! I really believe we are as happy as we want to be. It sure helps to understand the atonement of Jesus christ and spend time thinking about others, but really, if you want more joy in your life, you can have it! Today! Despite circumstances.
Living the gospel of Jesus christ brings Joy!
Haha that is what I keep telling people! And I'm just pumped for others to come to learn that for themselves!
Life is Good!
Love you all!
