Wow. Wow. Wow. Wow. Wow.
Probably the best week of my life. I've had a lot of those but this one may have taken the cake.
So 2 cool things, we took a fun morning work out to see the sunrise on the coast for what we thought would be Hermana Glovers last day here...... But jokes! She is staying. I am too! ROUND THREE BABY!
Also today we went to the Cathedral in Santiago de Compostela, if you lack knowledge of southern European history I'll explain. It is the finishing place of the famous El Camino a Santiago. Okay that's all I feel like typing right now so just Google it. But it's a BIG DEAL.
How cool is that. I live in the coolest place ever!
I saw the hand of the Lord more in the last week than I think I have in all my life!
First off, with the help of an incredible member her we taught SIX NATIVE GALLEGOS! That may be a new all time high! We taught seven at once! It was insane but so fun! Spaniards are just such a hoot! And one of the men has some real potential, it was incredible to meet someone just so receptive to the spirit! He recognized it in each of the 3 lesson we had with him this week. That's right 3!
This week we also had an investigator come to the baptism of Ariel, a man who the elders here were working with, we invited her a few days prior to be baptized but she doesn't have a date yet. She also is just incredibly receptive to the spirit and we've been helping her to recognize it. At the baptism the spirit was so incredibly strong you could see it in her face that she could feel it. Afterwards she told us she wants to be baptized. So it was an incredible experience all around, aaaaaaaaaaaaand she was incredibly relieved to know that normal members wear pants as well! Haha! I love her. She is fantastic! She is working on her masters degree in bio chemistry so she is super busy all the time. It's so going but going. And that was probably the most powerful experience I've seen on the mission thus far!
Another miracle, our investigator Stephany is a 17 year old girl who was meeting with the hermanas just under a year and was waiting for her 18th birthday to be baptized due to a really rough relationship with her parents. But she and a member here sat down and called them this week and explained how important this is for her and her mom gave her permission to be baptized! Yayayayayayayayayayayayayayaya
I SAW SO MANY MIRACLES. GOD IS DIRECTING THIS WORK.
I am amazed at the miracles we saw this week! Amazed! Humbled and just blown away! The funny thing I keep finding about sacrifice is what little sacrifice is given on our behalf, the Lord acknowledges and pours out blessings to the point it doesn't even feel like a sacrifice. I am amazed with this work. What an opportunity it is to see the spirit changing the lives of the people here!
Now we just get to help them come to church!
My hearts is so full, what a beautiful thing Life is

Love you all!
