Family and Friends,
I've had a good first week in
Leganés. The people here are very kind.
In fact, at church, many people were anxious to introduce themselves
to
me. I know I'm going to love it here.
I've met a lot of new people this week, I'll tell you about a few of them. Our most progressing investigator is Eloisa, a cute 73-year-old Spanish lady. She already believes everything is true. Although she has trials in her life she truly recognizes the peace the gospel brings her and loves studying the scriptures. She has a great desire to learn more. She's preparing well for her baptism at the end of the month. We are also teaching a genius 7-year-old boy (mom's just coming back to church and dad isn't a member). He's amazing. The other Hermanas gave him a children's version of the Book of Mormon two days before and he had already read almost the entire book and could tell us his favorite stories with names and details I surely didn't know at 7. He's teaching me a lot, doesn't even need us. His example of patience with his younger brother is also amazing. He already is an amazing little missionary and will continue to bless the church. I also met a lady from Portugal who was baptized here a few weeks ago. Her story of finding the church is long but basically the missionaries were completely led by the spirit to find her. She has lung cancer and has been given 3 months max to live. It was a blessing to hear the way she spoke of how grateful she is to have found the gospel. Jenny is another recent convert here in Leganés. A recent returned missionary gave her number to the missionaries a few months ago. She acts like s he's been a member her whole life (she's 17) and has been a great blessing already to this ward. I know the Lord has hastened His work here recently and will continue to do so.
I'm excited to work in Leganés! And to talk to my family Sunday! Love you all!
