<span style="color: #191919; font-size: 13pt;"><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">I'm going to give a short summary
of the week. It was a good one. One highlight was visiting a less active going
through a lot of trials. She was crying using half a box of tissues that day.
Not the highlight. But when we came back two days later she had change 180
degrees. She was smiling. And happy. And hopeful admits what appeared to be the
worse thing that could happen to her. What made the difference? She had spent
the entire day reading in the Book of Mormon and listening to general
conference talks, the words of modern day prophets. Another testimony builder
of the importance of the little things. Also, we are visiting with a part
member family with a 7-year-old who wants to get baptized when he turns 8. He
got up yesterday to bear his testimony. He simply said that he'd read the Book
of Mormon completely (kid version) and knows it is true by the way he feels and
is grateful for what he is learning and is so excited for his baptism at the
end of the month. It brought such a sweet spirit to the meeting. I have learned
so much from that kid, Leo. He is a great example. We also taught quite a few
lessons with new people that I'm grateful for.<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>

<span style="color: #191919; font-size: 13pt;"><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">So this will be my last email. Next
week on Monday I will be visiting some people and going to the mission home for
my last night here in Spain. I have had many mixed emotions recently. I served
a mission to serve the Lord and help others come unto Christ through the
restored gospel. I've realized that although that was my main purpose in coming,
I have had countless blessings for myself while being here. As I have taught
others that the gospel of Jesus Christ has been restored with all the necessary
ordinances, I have come to know that for myself with more surety. As I have
taught and seen in others lives how living the gospel and keeping all the
commandments really brings us happiness, that families can literally be
together forever, that our Savior has felt everything we have and knows how to
help us in whatever circumstance, that the little things we do such as reading our
scriptures, praying, and coming to church make all the difference, that
missionary work is one of the most important things we can do, that service
brings us to Christ, that Joseph Smith was a prophet of God who translated the
Book of Mormon, and so much more, my testimony has truly been strengthened. I
can't be more grateful for these 18 months and all I've learned that I know
will truly bless me forever. I love Spain and my mission and every single
experience I've had here that has helped me become a better person. Thanks for
all your love and support. I can't imagine leaving here but am also excited to
see you next week.<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>

<span style="color: #191919; font-size: 13pt;"><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">I can't believe how fast time is
going. Almost to July. Like many of you said, yes, I have many mixed feelings
right now. This week had a few failed days - those days that are planned out so
well with many lessons, even new people we were all excited for, and then not a
single lesson happens. Yet the week wasn't long and I was grateful for other
finding activities that happened during that time. We have been finding so many
cool people in the streets. We pray they will become progressing investigators.
We had the opportunity to meet with some of the relief society presidency and
they gave us a great list of some less actives in the ward to work with. We
also had a great lesson with a friend, Carmela, of a couple in the ward. The
message of the Restoration of the church of Jesus Christ just made sense to
her. She was so happy to hear it, things seemed to actually really 'click' for her.
I love when that happens. We also ate with the couple after. The wife, Nancy,
is blind from an accident years ago in her life. Yet she is always smiling and
happy. That is what the gospel and a positive attitude can do. No matter what
trials we face, we can be happy and continue with life by really applying the
atonement in our lives. She is a great example.<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>

<span style="color: #191919; font-size: 13pt;"><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Friday Hermana Barlow and I got to
take a recent convert, Jenny, to the temple. As missionaries in this mission we
now have the opportunity to go for baptisms with recent converts once a
transfer. It was a great experience, Jenny's second time at the temple. I saw some
of my other converts as well. It was wonderful being in the temple with so many
missionaries and recent converts. The Packs (mission president and his family)
were also there. Our wonderful mission president and his wife let their
daughter Caroline come back with us and stay the night. Caroline is awesome.
I'm going to miss her. She was there basically just for the night, studies in
the morning, and one lesson before her dad came and picked her up but I was
happy to hang out with her before I leave.<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>

<span style="color: #191919; font-size: 13pt;"><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">I feel so blessed to be a
missionary. I love it. Let me tell you of just a few experiences this week that
help me feel that way. We met one lady, Margarita, with her daughter in the
street last week. When we called to set up an appointment, she said she would
like a blessing for her health (turns out her sister in NJ is a member). We
went to her home Saturday and the elders gave her a blessing. It was a beautiful
experience and the spirit was strong. She immediately felt more calm for her
surgery and already recognizes the power of the priesthood that has been
restored. Her and her daughter came to church yesterday as well. They are both
very excited and prepared to accept the message of the gospel. Saturday we had
another great experience.<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="mso-layout-grid-align: none; mso-pagination: none; text-autospace: none;">
<span style="color: #191919; font-size: 13pt;"><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Last minute we ended up visiting a
member who hasn't been to church in many years. As we talked, I felt a strong
impression to invite her boldly and directly then and there to come to church
the next morning. She kinda chuckled, but said, "yes, I need to be there,
I know it." We stopped by her house on the way to church Sunday and she
was ready and anxious. Old church friends were so happy to see her. And she
bore a beautiful testimony during relief society. I didn't do a thing, yet her
Heavenly Father knew what she needed to hear. Being willing to follow that
inspiration is key in missionary work. Our recent convert, Eloisa, also made a
cute comment in relief society. She said when she was baptized and looked at
herself in those white clothes she thought, "wow, I'm beautiful" and
looked younger (she's 73) and more vibrant. Another lady related that to how we
are literally more beautiful when we have the Spirit with us. It's true.
Anyway, it's been a great week for me.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">

<span style="color: #191919; font-size: 13pt;"><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">Hola! The weeks are flying. This
week we had a low number of lessons, but
Hermana Barlow and I still had fun. Even days when we were out in the heat a
lot of the day we came home feeling accomplished and as if we'd done our best.
We keep seeing the finding miracles as we talk to everyone. We have received
more numbers of people to go visit than I have in a long time this week. We
also were teaching a new investigator when her friend stopped by and wanted to
listen as well so we get to share the gospel with both of them. When we passed
by for an inactive member, she had already moved back to her country but her daughter
wanted us to visit her. The very last person we talked to the other night had
good memories of the missionaries when they visited her husband a long time ago
and invited us to visit the whole family.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>I actually had an interesting conversation with Hermana Olsen when I was
with her this week about how we see miracles daily - it doesn't always mean the
people we are teaching recognize these miracles and change, but it seems to be
just what we need as missionaries to keep going some days. Not sure if that
makes sense how I said it even, but I feel very blessed to recognize 'little'
miracles daily.<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>

<span style="color: #191919; font-size: 13pt;"><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">On Thursday Hermana Barlow and I
were in Barrio 3 (Carabanchel) with our sister training leaders for the day for
exchanges. I got to be companions with Hermana Olsen - we served together a
year ago. It was super fun being together, sharing fun mission stories, and
seeing how much we have both changed in a year. Good times. Hermana Barlow and
I stayed with Hermanas Olsen and Graff for the night then we all went to zone
conference on Friday. We talked about a lot of basics there, but a good review.
We also are having a few changes in the mission.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Nothing too drastic, just good opportunities to help us stay
focused on our purpose and see miracles. <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>We have a tradition in this mission where all the
missionaries going home bear their testimonies at their last zone conference -
which was this one for me. It was strange. Last zone conference. I don't like
those moments when I realize how close to the end I really am. But I'm grateful
for every moment I have here!<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>

Training Hermana Barlow.<div class="MsoNormal" style="mso-layout-grid-align: none; mso-pagination: none; text-autospace: none;">
<span style="color: #191919; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: 13.0pt;">Family and Friends,<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="color: #191919; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: 13.0pt;">What a great week! For Monday night
and Tuesday morning I stayed with Hermanas Duffin and Campillo in Alcorcón
until my companion came Tuesday. I had a great time with them! I got to meet
more awesome people here in Spain. Then on Tuesday I met my new companion
Hermana Barlow. She's great! She is from Las Vegas. I'm so blessed to train her.
In fact, our mission president, President Pack, said how clear it was this
transfer with who the companionships would be between the trainers and the
trainees- that we all had something to give and learn. I've figured out what I
needed to learn from Hermana Barlow already, hopefully she learns something
from me.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="mso-layout-grid-align: none; mso-pagination: none; text-autospace: none;">

<div class="MsoNormal" style="mso-layout-grid-align: none; mso-pagination: none; text-autospace: none;">
<span style="color: #191919; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: 13.0pt;">We are still focusing a lot on
finding more people to teach. There is a mission-wide challenge to attempt at
sharing the gospel with at least 25 people a day for each missionary. Doesn't
seem like too many but with busy days or meeting days we have to literally talk
to everyone. And it's been so fun. I love coming home at the end of a day and
feeling that I've really put all my effort in sharing the gospel with as many
as I can. And as we do it with prayer, we have been led to some great people.
Yesterday we weren't having much success and had about 10 minutes until a
lesson but stopped and prayed to be led to someone who was prepared to listen
and know what to say. The second person we talked to is from Columbia, has
friends from our church there, and was interested and wanted to meet again. I
know the Lord helps us in His work.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="color: #191919; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: 13.0pt;">We met with a really great new lady
this week. She lives in very humble circumstances and is searching for exactly
what the gospel can give her. We had a good lesson that led us all to tears as
we felt the spirit so strong. I love experiences like that. With another lady,
we had been debating if we really should keep visiting her now or if she needed
a little time because she hadn't been progressing- she loves our visits but
hadn't read in the Book of Mormon or been to church in a long time. Hermana
Barlow had a great idea to help her and as we shared it, the lady opened up
about her doubts. We talked about a few things and read from the Book of Mormon
with her. Two days later she showed up at church. It was a wonderful 'surprise'
to see her there.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

full-time for the Lord is the best job ever.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="color: #191919;"><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">I feel like I just wrote since it
was Wednesday, but the last few days have
been great. Saturday Eloisa was baptized. Her sister and a few<span style="mso-tab-count: 1;"> </span>other family members are members of the church and live in the south of Spain.
They came for the baptism as well as a good amount of members. The ward is
great for support. It was a beautiful baptism. Eloisa
was so happy.<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>

<span style="color: #191919;"><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">We also have transfers today. My
companion, Hermana Smith, is going<span style="mso-tab-count: 1;"> </span>home.
It's pretty weird having her go, but I get to train for my last transfer!
I'm so excited. When I was in Santiago I prayed to be able to end my mission
training if possible, but figured it wouldn't happen when I was STL again.
Heavenly Father is so aware of me and knows what is best for me. I will meet my
new companion tomorrow so I'll have to let know next week who she is.<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>

<span style="color: #191919; font-size: 13pt;"><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">I can't believe it's been another
week! This transfer already end this week. It's flown. Anyway, I am still doing
well. It's been a pretty normal, but good, week. We have eaten with more
members, and even investigators, than any other. It's been great getting to
know them on a more personal level. We also had great lessons with less actives.
We had a great experience with one as she explained to us how her life has
changed recently since we've come to visit. I have come to realize that the
Lord does not only prepare people who aren't members to accept the gospel, but
also those who have fallen away to return. That was the case with this lady -
she was prepared and ready to come back, just needed a small nudge.<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>

<span style="color: #191919; font-size: 13pt;"><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">I got to go to the temple today!
With being in the north and the way transfers worked, it had been about 6
months. I had an overwhelming feeling of peace going in. I'm so happy I'm in a
mission with a temple I get to attend. I'm even more grateful for the priesthood
that has been restored and the ability to make covenants with our Heavenly Father
that will allow us to return to His presence.<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>

<span style="color: #191919; font-size: 13pt;"><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">What a great week it has been to be
a missionary here in Madrid. I have been privileged to be in many amazing
meetings, be very aware of the Spirit helping me daily, and receive tender
mercies that confirm to me my Heavenly Father is aware of me personally. On
Wednesday we had interviews with our mission president. He always helps me out
and has great things to say. Him and Hermana Pack stayed for our district meeting.
We talked a lot about the importance of using and studying the Book of Mormon
in our personal lives as well as all those we are in contact with. On Friday to
Saturday morning the hermanas from Alcorcón were with us for intercambios. I
had the opportunity to work with Hermana Duffin, who has been out for 3 weeks.
I related to her a lot and we had an awesome day together. She's a great
example of service, diligence, and giving our all. We didn't have any planned lessons
for the morning but decided it would be good to pass by for a few members. The
visit to a young, new mom was just what she needed and after building more
confidence she openly shared with us about a friend she's been trying to share
the gospel with. In the evening we taught the little boy, Leo, and once he
understood we were talking about tithing (in Spanish DIEZmo) and not the 10
commandments (DIEZ mandamientos) and the slightly advanced math for him, he
offered to give us his money on the spot. Haha. How great would it be if
everyone was so willing to keep all the commandments so willingly?<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal" style="mso-layout-grid-align: none; mso-pagination: none; text-autospace: none;">
<span style="color: #191919; font-size: 13pt;"><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">Between Saturday and Sunday I was
able to attend 3 meetings with Elder Bednar of the Quorum of the Twelve
Apostles - one with the missionaries, one with the stake, and one with the
youth and young single adults. It was an amazing experience. During the meeting
with the stake Elder Bednar specifically addressed those who aren't members of
our church and basically taught the Restoration of the church of<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="mso-layout-grid-align: none; mso-pagination: none; text-autospace: none;">
<span style="color: #191919; font-size: 13pt;"><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">Jesus Christ in the most powerful way
I've heard it. Amazing. The meeting with the missionaries and youth/YSA was more
of a discussion with Elder Bednar. And lots of question and answer time. I
learned a ton, way too much to write here. Some of my favorite things were talking
about our personal conversion - it comes little by little. And how we should
take our questions into the Book of Mormon. I'm grateful for all I learned from
him and all the impressions I personally received.<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>

<span style="color: #191919; font-size: 13pt;"><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">Another highlight of the week was getting
to have an old companion visit me. Hermana Maza, who I trained, went home
(south of Spain) for knee surgery. She got permission to come to Madrid for the
meetings with Elder Bednar and... To stay in our piso Saturday night!! It was awesome
talking to her and seeing how she was doing. It basically was the best weekend
I've had in the mission between that and Elder Bednar.<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>

<span style="color: #191919; font-size: 13pt;"><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">On Tuesday we had concilio in the
mission home. It was a great experience as always. <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>We talked a lot about the importance of reviewing the basics
and watched parts of a worldwide missionary training again. I was reminded of
not only the important of teaching people how to repent and really be converts
themselves but also what the atonement means in my personal life. The mission
presidents wife made a comment that I loved. She talked about how the atonement
is all about change and becoming better. She also mentioned how Christ died even
just so that we can have better, happier lives. I am so grateful for every
aspect of the atonement.<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>

<span style="color: #191919; font-size: 13pt;"><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">Thursday to Friday we had
intercambios. We were here in Leganés and I was with Hermana Karlen. We had
some great experiences together as we followed the Spirit and were able to
realize we were in the right place at the right time because of it. She's a new
missionary but I still learned so much from her. One of my favorite parts of
being STL is getting to work with many other Hermanas and learn from them.<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>

<span style="color: #191919; font-size: 13pt;"><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">I also had a tender mercy/answer to
prayer this week. It has nothing to do with missionary work, but it reminding
me that my Heavenly Father cares about everything in my life. I was pretty sick
this week, with the worse sore throat I remember having. It was really hurting Wednesday
evening. I knew we were going to visit someone who always gave us a snack, and
I prayed it'd be something to help my throat feel better. After the lesson she
brought in big glasses of fruit smoothies. Seems like a little thing but I was
so grateful for the daily blessings I receive that show how much Heavenly
Father really cares about me individually.<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="color: #191919; font-size: 13pt;"><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">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. </span></span><br />
<span style="color: #191919; font-size: 13pt;"><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><br /></span></span>
<span style="color: #191919; font-size: 13pt;"><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">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. </span></span><br />

<pre style="color: #444444; font-size: 15px; line-height: 21.299999237060547px; white-space: normal;"><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">I don't even know exactly where to start, but it seems like a lot has
happened this week. It started as a pretty normal week- some pretty
rough times and miracles all in the same day. Hermana Hill and I spent
lots of time trying to find some new investigators that would
progress. Our most creative activity was using her artistic talent and
using chalk in the park to draw superman and Christ and strike up
conversations with people then ask what superheroes and Christ have in
common. Some had to really think and some immediately said they both
save people. It was a fun activity. We also taught the special sabbath
day devotional to a few other members and I felt the spirit strong. I
think two of those lessons were some of my spiritual highlights from
the whole week. </span></pre>
<pre style="color: #444444; font-size: 15px; line-height: 21.299999237060547px; white-space: normal;"><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">On Friday we had an awesome 1st annual Styrofoam Derby activity with
the branch. It took quite a bit of preparation, but was completely
worth it. There was a great turn out and the branch had a blast. </span></pre>
<pre style="color: #444444; font-size: 15px; line-height: 21.299999237060547px; white-space: normal;"><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">Everyone took good care of me on my bday Saturday. Hermana Hill woke
up in the middle of the night to decorate the piso with balloons and
birthday signs. Members called. The Bakes made dinner and a birthday
cake for me. And after dinner we found out about transfers. Everyone
stayed, but me. I'm headed to Leganés, a small town to the southwest
of Madrid. My new companion will be Hermana Smith. I already miss
Santiago and the people. A short 12 weeks didn't seem like enough. And
to realize I have my 11 more weeks in Leganés then home is even more
crazy. I'm excited to get to know and love more people here in Spain! </span></pre>

<pre style="color: #444444; font-size: 15px; line-height: 21.299999237060547px; white-space: normal;"><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">This week was good. We had some good lessons with a few of our
investigators and members. Hermana Hill and I were talking about all
the people we visit and the privilege it is. Literally about 2/3 of
the people we teach are special in their own way- psychological
problems, depression, addictions, etc. We could easily look at it as
how hard it is, but we feel honored that the Lord trusts us to take
care of these children of His. Each one of them literally has a need
for the gospel and the healing effects of the Atonement of Jesus
Christ and we get to be the messengers of the wonderful news. </span></pre>
<pre style="color: #444444; font-size: 15px; line-height: 21.299999237060547px; white-space: normal;"><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">On Tuesday night we went out and visited the branch president,
President Goyes, and his family who live out about and hour in the
country on a farm. We had a little family home evening. After, Hermana
Goyes asked if we wanted some fresh milk and eggs. We said yes, then
realized a few minutes later she had left to go get it right off the
farm. President Goyes invited us to go look and gave us a small tour.
It was pretty cool. And I found out I like fresh milk. </span></pre>
<pre style="color: #444444; font-size: 15px; line-height: 21.299999237060547px; white-space: normal;"><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">This week I also had the opportunity to meet a less active member who
was the first man baptized in Santiago. Him and his wife are so sweet
and kind, great people. It breaks my heart when the rush of life keeps
people from making it to church and enjoy all the blessings of living
the gospel. He had some amazing experiences to share. It was also his
simple testimony to a friend years ago that converted the biggest
active family - kids/grandkids- of our branch here. We never know what
the affect of sharing a simple testimony could be. </span></pre>
<pre style="color: #444444; font-size: 15px; line-height: 21.299999237060547px; white-space: normal;"><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">Yesterday in church we talked a lot about love. I have seen how
important love in missionary work is. Two great blessings came from
showing this love. Hermana Hill and I have been trying to get ahold of
two members and haven't been able to for quite awhile and were sad we
couldn't. We went to both of their houses about two weeks ago and left
them a little nice note with our number. Yesterday one of them called
us to let us know her phone had been stolen and the only way she could
get ahold of us is from that note which had our number. The other has
just been really busy but found the note in the back of her mailbox
and just helped her remember we're here and love her and sent us a
text to be able to come visit her. I know as we show little acts of
kindness it really softens people's hearts. </span></pre>
<pre style="color: #444444; font-size: 15px; line-height: 21.299999237060547px; white-space: normal;"><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">For pday today we went to the cathedral here and visited where the
apostle James is supposedly buried. Also, the Bakes went to Madrid
this weekend and there's a Costco there now so they brought us some
delicious treats. And I keep forgetting to mention this, but they
speak Gallego here. Almost everyone speaks Spanish as well, but I'm
getting to learn some Gallego - very little. All the signs are in
Gallego so I learn random phrases. It's a Spanish and Portuguese mix.
I think that's about it for the week. Hope you all have a great one! </span></pre>

<pre style="color: #444444; font-size: 15px; line-height: 21.299999237060547px; white-space: normal;"><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">I had another wonderful week. Heavenly Father continues to bless us. </span></pre>
<pre style="color: #444444; font-size: 15px; line-height: 21.299999237060547px; white-space: normal;"><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">The saddest part of the week happened Monday evening. We were supposed
to go back to Alcobendas, my first area, to work before going to the
mission home. I was sooo excited to work there and visit a few people,
but we had a delay getting there. On the renfe train we were at one
stop where we had to change trains and after 3 trains coming by then
saying it was out of service we heard there was an 'obstruction' on
the track (never found out what) so we went in metro which took a long
time and we got to Alcobendas just in time to leave for the mission
home. It was a bummer, but hopefully I'll get another opportunity. I
did get to talk to Karen (recent convert) and her kids on the phone
for a few minutes and they're doing great!Hermana Hill and I with 4
other hermanas from the north and islands slept at the mission home
then we had concilio on Tuesday. I love concilio. It's a huge blessing
to be a part of. This month we talked about the importance of our
teaching skills and how to improve them. I had another moment where I
realized so many of my experiences now will be a huge blessing for the
rest of my life, not just these 18 months. </span></pre>
<pre style="color: #444444; font-size: 15px; line-height: 21.299999237060547px; white-space: normal;"><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">We got back to Santiago really late Tuesday night. We had a few really
good lessons on Tuesday. A new man we have been teaching is doing
great, and it is partially thanks to a member who has been helping us
out. Belinda (the member) is awesome. She's taken time to show him
where the church is, just be his friend, and bear great testimonies in
the lesson. I'm grateful for the help we receive. We also taught a new
man where the lesson opened my eyes a bit. Long story short, I am so
grateful to be raised in the gospel and understand the importance and

chapel there that is beautiful! And huge! Can't wait for the day when
Santiago has a chapel. The work is slowly progressing and we pray to
be able to get a stake up here in the north. The training went well. I
learned lots from all the comments made. After we came back to
Santiago with the A Coruña hermanas and we had intercambios. I was
with Hermana Robertson, who's been in the field for a month. I love
new missionaries. Even without understanding everything they give such
a powerful, pure testimony during lessons that really help. We saw
miracles together, including meeting with a less active that I've been
trying to meet with since I've been here and set some great goals. </span></pre>

Alexander. We met on Sunday in a park area because we couldn't find a
member to meet inside. We were under a covering, but it was pouring
and cold. He invited us to a cafe for hot cocoa. He has a cousin
that's a member and knows quite a bit about our beliefs. He knew we
wouldn't buy it, but said that's why he would. We felt bad because it
was so cold bit we explained WHY it was so important to us to keep the
sabbath day holy and why we felt uncomfortable doing that. It ended up
being a great teaching and learning opportunity, and he patiently sat
in the cold for 30 minutes. Shows his commitment to me as well. </span></pre>

email, but it really was great. I'm loving Santiago and my mission in
general more and more each week. </span></pre>

<pre style="color: #444444; font-size: 15px; line-height: 21.299999237060547px; white-space: normal;"><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">It has been an amazing, spiritual, humbling, miracle-filled week for
me. On Tuesday we had zone conference. What most impressed me in the
meeting was the importance to include the Lord in missionary work, His
work. I had a humbling experience and felt silly for acting this way
for so long - but I had gotten caught up in how I need to be more
creative for finding, I need to work harder, I need to figure out how
to teach and touch these people, I, I... Yeah I think I made my point.
I was humbled as I remembered that is has nothing to do with me, it's
the Lord's work and He will help me as I ask and seek for His help.
Hermana Hill and I tried to apply what we learned immediately that
evening. Long story short, we had an appointment with a man at 6:30
who just moved here and number is from another country which our phone
can't contact so through helpful members we had the lesson set up, but
no way to confirm it. We were in the park, and as many days in
Santiago, the sky was full of grey clouds, ready to rain any minute.
Separately, and unconscious that the other was doing it, Hermana Hill
and I prayed that 1) the man would come and 2) it wouldn't rain until
after the lesson- it could pour right after, but wait until we
finished. About 15 minutes late the man showed up, we had a great
lesson with him, we prayed, stood up from the bench, and literally
within seconds it was pouring. I know it wasn't a coincidence.
Heavenly Father answers prayers. We also had a cool experience
knocking doors this week. The truth is I haven't found too much
success doing it throughout my mission, but with the situation we had
a few minutes and it was pouring and thought maybe we should try. We
got inside a building, prayed to know where we should go. I thought 4,
Hermana Hill 7 so we did both floors. Between the 3 doors on each
floor we picked one and in both cases had great conversations and an
invitation to come back. I know that was with the help of the Lord as
well. These are only 2 of the many miracles we've witnessed is week. </span></pre>
<pre style="color: #444444; font-size: 15px; line-height: 21.299999237060547px; white-space: normal;"><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Another highlight of the week was general conference. I feel blessed I
was able to listen to it all (besides Sunday afternoon still because
of time difference). There were many talks I loved and I was able to
receive answers to some questions. I'm not going to list all my
favorites but I loved Elder Stevenson's analogy of priesthood keys,
Elder Bednar's explanation of how baptism, the gift of the Holy Ghost,
and the sacrament are related, and Sister Oscarson's question of 'do I
REALLY believe it?'. I felt like there was a big emphasis on saving
the lost sheep, reaching out and loving all, truly living and
believing what we know, and remembering who we are. With a lot of
other great stuff in between. I'm so grateful to have living prophets
and apostles and the opportunity to literally hear what Heavenly
Father wants me to hear every six months. </span></pre>
<pre style="color: #444444; font-size: 15px; line-height: 21.299999237060547px; white-space: normal;"><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">I have a funny dog story to add for the week as well. Hermana Hill and
I wanted to stop by someone's house that lives out in the country. The
Bakes drove us out, but as we got closer the roads got smaller and
rougher so Hermana Hill and I got out of the car to walk the rest of
the way. We were casually walking down this dirt path out in the
middle of no where (picture beautiful green country with wild flowers,
really far apart houses, picturesque basically) when a little
ferocious dog started barking at us and running toward us. My first
instinct was run, but realized it could easily outrun me. So we just
froze there. Two of its little dog friends joined, blocking our path.
We didn't know if we should go back, ask the Bakes to drive us, wait,
or what. As we sat contemplating our options we couldn't help crying
of laughter at ourselves for being in such a dilemma over three little
dogs. In the end we played the slowly walk method and we were fine, no
dog attacks, but I was grateful that I'm not serving out in the
country with loose animals normally. :) </span></pre>
<pre style="color: #444444; font-size: 15px; line-height: 21.299999237060547px; white-space: normal;"><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Between conferences yesterday Hermana Hill and I flew down to Madrid
so we can be here for our leadership meeting Tuesday morning. We got
to the stake center in Pavones right at 6 when conference was
starting. It was fun being back in my old building. And a huge tender
mercy to see many people from my previous area. On top of that, I get
to go to my first area tonight to work before heading to the mission
home. I hope to be able to find some of the old people I taught. It's
going to be great! </span></pre>
<pre style="color: #444444; font-size: 15px; line-height: 21.299999237060547px; white-space: normal;"><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">I'm so grateful to be serving here in Spain. I continue to see
miracles and have experiences that change me for the better. I'm
grateful I choose to serve a mission. I know the church that Jesus
Christ established has been restored. We have the priesthood keys on
the earth that make it possible to live with our Heavenly Father
again. His plan for us is a plan of love. </span></pre>

<pre style="color: #444444; font-size: 15px; line-height: 21.299999237060547px; white-space: normal;"><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">Hope you all had a great Easter yesterday! I think I mentioned last
week that they celebrate a whole Easter week here, so many people were
out of school and work and on vacations. A whole one of our
investigators stayed in Santiago, but we still had a good week. Okay,
it also was honestly a little bit of a long week. Hermana Hill and I
have applied the quote "push it, push it, to the limit, limit" to our
current mission life. Some of my most challenging times in the mission
have been the best, especially looking back. And the awesome miracles
also come soon after the challenging times. We are just setting up for
the miracles. :) </span></pre>
<pre style="color: #444444; font-size: 15px; line-height: 21.299999237060547px; white-space: normal;"><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">We've had some really good finding experiences this week. Miracles are
already starting. We were challenged to really push our comfort limits
and not just say "hey we are missionaries", but to have more fun and
talk to them like normal people first. It's been fun. Hermana Hill and
I have our favorite park now to go talk with people. We found a super
cool man, Ramón, that was just reading on a bench and also some high
school boys who were playing soccer and they taught us to do a trick.
During intercambios, we talked with a lady who was doing the Camino de
Santiago and had a great conversation with her. </span></pre>
<pre style="color: #444444; font-size: 15px; line-height: 21.299999237060547px; white-space: normal;"><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">Sorry this is a short email, can't really think of anything else. I'm
now in Vigo with the zone for a zone pday then a zone conference
tomorrow. We were going to take a boat to a small island, but sadly
there is a big storm so we can't. It will still be a fun day. Love you
all! </span></pre>

<pre style="color: #444444; font-size: 15px; line-height: 21.299999237060547px; white-space: normal;"><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">It's been kinda a crazy week. Let's start at the beginning. Monday
night Hermana Hill and I met with a member I didn't know too well. She
is great and even has ideas of some youth we can meet with and help
out. It will be great. She's also big into outdoorsy stuff so will
hopefully be able to take us hiking on a pday soon! Tuesday morning we
also met with another lady from the ward with Hermana Bake. We talked
about Easter and the role of Christ in our personal lives. The Spirit
was definitely guiding the lesson and it went great (normally does
when we let the Spirit teach :) ). Tuesday afternoon we had an
adventure taking a 'shortcut' to our lesson that our maps app told us
which ended up basically going over a mini mountain. Okay, that's an
exaggeration, but it was crazy steep and long, not shorter.
Unfortunately we made it to be failed, but ran into a different
investigator soon after and we think finally got the importance of
praying from our heart not a recitation. Fun fact that a lady on the
street told us (so not sure if it's actually true..) is that Santiago
is the second largest Catholic city in Europe, next to Rome. </span></pre>
<pre style="color: #444444; font-size: 15px; line-height: 21.299999237060547px; white-space: normal;"><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">Wednesday another adventure of the week started. The morning was
normal. Had a good lesson with a progressing investigator then
district meeting. Both went well. Then I headed off in train to Madrid
to renew my residency card. Got there around 9 and stayed with
Hermanas Olsen and Spencer, who I love. Thursday morning we went to
renew the card but the office elders were missing a paper they though
they had so I went to a different government building then back to the
other. It took longer and I missed my train to go home. My options
were wait until Monday (next available train) or a 9 hour bus ride to
Vigo on Friday then another two hours to Santiago. I chose the bus. It
was kinda sad because I felt like I missed out on real missionary work
for basically half the week, but it was important to take care of. </span></pre>
<pre style="color: #444444; font-size: 15px; line-height: 21.299999237060547px; white-space: normal;"><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">On Saturday we were back to work. We met with one of our
investigator's mom and had a great conversation about our role in her
daughter's life. We keep praying that one day the mom will be open to
hearing this wonderful message as well. It would be a huge blessing
for the whole family.</span></pre>
<pre style="color: #444444; font-size: 15px; line-height: 21.299999237060547px; white-space: normal;"><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">We have met with more members this week and it is helping he attitude
of missionary work here and our relationships with them. Yesterday at
church we had 43 members! A record in quite a while. </span></pre>
<pre style="color: #444444; font-size: 15px; line-height: 21.299999237060547px; white-space: normal;"><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">This week is semana Santa in Spain, basically like Easter week. There
will probably be some fun celebrations. It's also been great having an
emphasis in my studies of Christ's life and His resurrection. I know
He lives. And I know we can all find peace through His atonement.
Hope you all have a great week! </span></pre>

<pre style="color: #444444; font-size: 15px; line-height: 21.299999237060547px; white-space: normal;"><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">What an amazing, miracle-filled, productive, fun week it has been.
Hermana Hill and I have had a great first week together. The week
before I really felt like things were starting to pick up in the work
here, and it took off. We have met more new friends that are
interested in the gospel this week than any other. Hermana Hill wanted
to meet all the members so we met with many of them, which
strengthened our relationship with each one. It was awesome. And, the
sun has shined the past few days, and I'm loving it! </span></pre>
<pre style="color: #444444; font-size: 15px; line-height: 21.299999237060547px; white-space: normal;"><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">We met with an investigator who has been visiting home in Mexico for
the past few months, but is back. He actually called us when he
returned to Spain. We had a great, powerful lesson and he is excited
to prepare for baptism. We also met with a member's cousin again, it
had been awhile since we had met with schedules and the distance she
lives. She has great questions that help us think and be able to
explain the gospel in the simple, pure manner that it is. </span></pre>
<pre style="color: #444444; font-size: 15px; line-height: 21.299999237060547px; white-space: normal;"><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">On Friday night we had a relief society dinner and talent show. They
wanted Hermana Hill and I to perform, so with the little time we had
we went to a member's house, cut a few songs, and danced. Had maybe 20
minutes to practice, but it was super fun. There were a handful of
sisters that don't usually come to church that were there, it was
great talking to them. The show and dinner were nice. </span></pre>
<pre style="color: #444444; font-size: 15px; line-height: 21.299999237060547px; white-space: normal;"><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">Saturday was the YW New Beginnings that we went to. A very small YW
program but they gave wonderful short talks about their experiences.
After, we went to a basketball game. Tyler Haws, former BYU basketball
player, is our branch mission leader. Our mission president gave us
permission to go to a game if we brought a friend with us, and got
tickets for his family, who happened to be in the north this weekend.
So the Packs, elders, Bakes (senior couple), José and Jonathan
(friends from ward) all went. It was a little weird, had a taste of
'real life' and I felt strange just sitting watching a game for so
long (double overtime), but we had a lot of fun! </span></pre>
<pre style="color: #444444; font-size: 15px; line-height: 21.299999237060547px; white-space: normal;"><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">The missionary work here is improving little by little. I love Hermana
Hill and am already becoming a better missionary by following her
example. I'm very grateful to be here in Santiago. </span></pre>

<span style="color: #444444; font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif; font-size: 15px;">Family and Friends, </span><br />
<span style="color: #444444; font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif; font-size: 15px;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: #444444; font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif; font-size: 15px;">This week has been another great one. This week I could feel the
excitement of the missionary work grow, and our faith. We have worked
on finding new people, trying to get creative my whole time here. When
you're in that stage for a few weeks and nothing new comes it can be
hard. This week all 4 of us here in Santiago had many ideas, our
Spirits and faith were a lot increased, and although I can't say we
all have new people, we can feel it coming. There's been a lot more
excitement, energy, willingness to really share the gospel with
everyone. </span><br />
<span style="color: #444444; font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif; font-size: 15px;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: #444444; font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif; font-size: 15px;">Hermana Iregui and I did have a good lesson with Antón. He read a lot
in the Book of Mormon and we basically discussed his questions about
that, what he'd learned, how he feels, etc. We taught something
completely different than what was planned and I felt the Spirit there
guiding us. </span><br />
<span style="color: #444444; font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif; font-size: 15px;">We had district conference (like stake conference but for the
branches) yesterday. Elder Adler from the Seventy was here along with
President Pack(mission president) and his wife. It was a great meeting
and reminder of the importance of the 'little things'- daily scripture
study and prayer, building our own personal testimonies, going to the
temple, loving your neighbor, etc. </span><br />
<span style="color: #444444; font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif; font-size: 15px;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: #444444; font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif; font-size: 15px;">This transfer was a short one so we already had transfers today.
Hermana Iregui left to Guadalajara, Madrid. My new companion is
Hermana Hill. She's from Missouri and great. We have served in the
same district previously and finish the mission at the same time. I'm
going to miss Hermana Iregui but am also excited for this transfer. </span><br />
<span style="color: #444444; font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif; font-size: 15px;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: #444444; font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif; font-size: 15px;">I hope you all have a great week! </span><span style="color: #444444; font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif; font-size: 15px;">Love you! </span><br />
<span style="color: #444444; font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif; font-size: 15px;"><br /></span>

A long time ago people thought the earth ended here, no more land. Pioneers also burn their shoes here after their long journey there. There's probably a lot more history about it that I don't know.

<pre style="color: #444444; font-size: 15px; line-height: 21.299999237060547px; white-space: normal;"><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">I can't believe that I've already been in Santiago for a month. For
those of you who know my sense of direction, or lack there of, I wish
I could say I've learned the area well. We had intercambios this week
and when I was with Hermana Clements we got a little lost. That's why
we have maps, right? Haha. Overall it was a good intercambio. One cool
thing that happened was a man walked by, saw our Book of Mormon, and
asked if it was free. When we said yes, he kinda laughed and I guess
wanted to try it out so took it right out of my hands and walked away
quickly. After realizing we were going to let him go, he turned back
around and actually listened to us for awhile.
We also taught a lesson to a new man, Victor. He is from Swaziland,
Africa and although we only had a few minutes, he loved the lesson of
the Restoration. I love when people realize how blessed we really are
to live in a time with the fullness of the gospel and its ordinances. </span></pre>
<pre style="color: #444444; font-size: 15px; line-height: 21.299999237060547px; white-space: normal;"><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">We also are working as missionaries and with the president of the
district here to give a short devotional about the Atonement,
sacrament, and Sabbath Day to as many members as we can. We are
starting with the leaders and did it once to the RS president, Hermana
Etlvina. We have great stories, scriptures, quotes, and an object
lesson that all together make a powerful lesson. A lot of hard work
was put into planning it by president and I think it's going to pay
off and really help this area. </span></pre>
<pre style="color: #444444; font-size: 15px; line-height: 21.299999237060547px; white-space: normal;"><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">We still only have few investigators here, but each week seem to meet
someone else new and see little miracles frequently. It's been fun
being creative in ways to reach out to people. For example, one member
offered to teach free karate classes so we went out to the city
handing out and putting up flyers for the classes. We pray many people
come and we can meet more people. Being here is stretching me and
helping me grow and learn even more. I know it's what I needed. </span></pre>

<pre style="color: #444444; font-size: 15px; line-height: 21.299999237060547px; white-space: normal;"><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">What a great week it's been. The first half was basically spent in
leadership training and the zone meeting. Last Monday I left with
Hermana Sykes on the train to Madrid for concilio- our leadership
meeting. It was at the mission home, and really weird to be in my
first area again without time to visit people! But it was fun to be
back. We stayed at the mission home Monday night and Tuesday for the
meeting. It was amazing. I learned so much from what was said as well
and through the Holy Ghost of specific things I can apply here in
Santiago. The zone leaders and Hermana Sykes and I planned a little
Tuesday night for what we would share in zone meeting. Stayed with
some Hermanas Tuesday night then back to the north Wednesday. It was a
long trip and I hardly slept for three days, but it was definitely
worth it. Hermana Sykes and Graff stayed with us Wednesday since the
zone meeting was in Santiago. Then after the meeting Hermanas Staker
and Jensen stayed with us for exchanges - we are trying to do them now
where both Hermanas come to our area. We had a lot of success.
Hermanas Iregui and Jensen had some great lessons and Hermana Staker
and I found some great new potentials. They left Friday afternoon, and
I was finally with my actual companion again for the last few days of
the week. </span></pre>
<pre style="color: #444444; font-size: 15px; line-height: 21.299999237060547px; white-space: normal;"><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">Hermana Iregui and I found a family that has met with the missionaries
a few years ago. They are probably some of the nicest people I've met
here and hope that they find the time and have the desire to progress.
We also met with a man Hermana Staker and I contacted on the street,
Francisco Javier, who was so happy to find out that more sacred
scriptures, the Book of Mormon, exist. I've already been a witness of
the help of the Lord with His work here. </span></pre>
<pre style="color: #444444; font-size: 15px; line-height: 21.299999237060547px; white-space: normal;"><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">We might be small in number
of Mormons, or even those that believe in God, but He hasn't forgotten
about his children here.
The branch president also made a comment on Sunday that I liked. He
asked us how we would prepare ourselves if we received a special
invitation to spend the day with Christ. He told us THIS is the way
that we should use the Sabbath Day. A great thing to ponder. </span></pre>

you have a wonderful week. </span></pre>

<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br style="line-height: 21.299999237060547px;" /></span><span style="font-family: inherit;">This week we had a few great lessons. One of the less actives that we </span><span style="font-family: inherit;">met with my first week here was having a really hard time with some </span><span style="font-family: inherit;">personal life problems. After only one week her personality had </span><span style="font-family: inherit;">completely changed. The lesson was great. She was smiling, laughing, </span><span style="font-family: inherit;">and happy. She came to church for the first time in a long time this </span><span style="font-family: inherit;">week. I love seeing the physical effect living the gospel can have. We </span><span style="font-family: inherit;">also went out to a pueblo, over an hour in car, with the Bakes and RS </span><span style="font-family: inherit;">president to visit a member and her husband, who isn't a member. They </span><span style="font-family: inherit;">are very kind and we had a good time. The husband has never seemed </span><span style="font-family: inherit;">really open to listening about our religion, but I could tell his </span><span style="font-family: inherit;">heart was softened with the conversion story of the Relief Society </span><span style="font-family: inherit;">president. I pray little by little we will be able to share with him.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br style="line-height: 21.299999237060547px;" /></span><span style="font-family: inherit;">Friday night we had a family home evening. We acted out the story of </span><span style="font-family: inherit;">Nephi building the boat. It turned out to be pretty fun. We also have </span><span style="font-family: inherit;">a ping pong table at the church which everyone loves.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br style="line-height: 21.299999237060547px;" /></span><span style="font-family: inherit;">We've done a lot more work with the branch list and area book. We have </span><span style="font-family: inherit;">tried to be creative in thinking of new ways to find people here. Many </span><span style="font-family: inherit;">things I did in Madrid just aren't effective here, but I'm excited </span><span style="font-family: inherit;">about some ideas we have. I know as we work hard and follow the Spirit </span><span style="font-family: inherit;">we will be able to find people who want to accept this wonderful </span><span style="font-family: inherit;">message of the gospel of Jesus Christ!</span><br />
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br style="line-height: 21.299999237060547px;" /></span><span style="font-family: inherit;">Hope you all have a wonderful week!</span><br />
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br style="line-height: 21.299999237060547px;" /></span><span style="font-family: inherit;">Love,</span><br />

<pre style="color: #444444; font-size: 15px; line-height: 21.299999237060547px; white-space: normal;"><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">It's been a good week. Very different, but good. Here in Santiago
there is just a small branch - yesterday there were 28 people at
church, including the baby. Our area is Santiago and a ton of little
towns surrounding it. It's a great blessing to have a senior couple
serving here with a car to help us get out to the far places. The
Bakes are awesome and a huge help. </span></pre>
<pre style="color: #444444; font-size: 15px; line-height: 21.299999237060547px; white-space: normal;"><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">The truth is we currently only have a couple of people we are
teaching. I met two of them last week, Antón and Cielo. Antón is 61
and they just started teaching him. Cielo is 13 and waiting for
permission to be baptized. We also taught a new guy, Michael. Hermanas
Iregui and Baxter talked to him the other week on the street. Hermana
Iregui told me he wasn't too sure if a god even existed. So we studied
specifically to teach about our loving Heavenly Father. And the lesson
went great. Way better than I thought it would. He wants to learn
more, but with his whole family. We pray his family will be as
receptive as him. </span></pre>
<pre style="color: #444444; font-size: 15px; line-height: 21.299999237060547px; white-space: normal;"><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">We had a mission tour last week as well with Elder Moreda from the
Seventy. He came and visited the two zones in the north on Friday. He
talked about a lot of things. One that specifically stuck out to me
has to do with the fact that many missionaries have the mind set that
the north is hard, there's hardly any work, and no one wants to
listen. He told us pretty boldly that if we think like this, we better
repent. We must rely on the Lord and he WILL help us find those who
are prepared to listen to the gospel. Because they are here. I hope to
do all I can to help find these people. I know as I increase my faith,
we will find them. He also said if we don't know what to talk about as
we start talking to people, testify of Christ. After the leaders of
the zones had a meeting with him. 8 missionaries, President and
Hermana Pack, and Elder Moreda and his wife. We had a question and
answer and then he gave us specific advice on working in this area.
I'm so grateful I got to be part of it. </span></pre>

to be serving here in Santiago and for everything I'm learning and the
opportunity I have to testify of Christ! </span></pre>

<pre style="color: #444444; font-size: 15px; line-height: 21.299999237060547px; white-space: normal;"><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Well it's been a crazy week. But a good one. One thing that I was
really grateful for this week are the ward members. We had members
helping in lessons, that changed the lessons for the better. Members
inviting friends to church and family home evenings. Members helping
out at church, feeding us, sharing their testimonies, and showing lots
of their love. We also had a few service projects with members - one
helping a family move. I've grown to love the members here. I've also
learned missionary work is so much better as we work together as full
time missionaries and members. </span></pre>
<pre style="color: #444444; font-size: 15px; line-height: 21.299999237060547px; white-space: normal;"><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">This week we also had appointments for some of my residency paperwork
and with the doctor that seemed to take awhile, but the missionary
work continues. We had some great lessons as well. It's a blessing to
study and teach the basic doctrine daily.</span></pre>
<pre style="color: #444444; font-size: 15px; line-height: 21.299999237060547px; white-space: normal;"><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">This past day has been crazy. Saturday I found out that I will be
serving in the north of Spain now, in an area called Santiago, in
Galicia. I'm going to the beautiful, green, cold, rainy north. I am
currently sitting in my 5 hour train ride. I will be companions - with
another native!! I'm so blessed to have so many native companions. Her
name is Hermana Iregui and is from Columbia. I'll be a sister training
leader for the zone there. I'm excited and pray constantly for the
help of my Heavenly Father with His work. </span></pre>

And Gerbert was baptized!<pre style="color: #444444; font-size: 15px; line-height: 21.299999237060547px; white-space: normal;"><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">Family and Friends, </span></pre>
<pre style="color: #444444; font-size: 15px; line-height: 21.299999237060547px; white-space: normal;"><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">

<pre style="color: #444444; font-size: 15px; line-height: 21.299999237060547px; white-space: normal;"><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">I've had an amazing week. I'm so blessed to serve here. As a
missionary, I've found so much joy in seeing little progress or little
things that the people we visit do. I had many of these happy moments
this week. In a lesson with Gerbert he explained that he found out
that two of his friends are members, both inactive, and that he's been
trying to get them to come to church with him for awhile. He invited
them to his baptism as well. He's been 'secretly' doing his missionary
work. He's a great example for them. We also taught a less active
member and she had read in the Book of Mormon for the first time in a
long time and learned a lot. At church we saw a tithing envelope in
Victor's hands, ready to give to the bishop. When we called Gerbert,
he was studying the Book of Mormon. A new investigator asked us if he
came to church this Sunday if he could be baptized the following
Saturday. A recent convert asked us a few questions about something
specific she was studying to be able to explain it better to her
friend. We were reading the Book of Mormon for kids with a kid we are
teaching and he didn't want to stop and put it down. Another recent
convert is going to teach Sunday school and is really excited. A lot
of little, beautiful moments this week. </span></pre>
<pre style="color: #444444; font-size: 15px; line-height: 21.299999237060547px; white-space: normal;"><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">We had a worldwide missionary training on Wednesday. It was called 'We
teach repentance to baptize converts' and was amazing. I love the
guide from leaders of the church. </span></pre>
<pre style="color: #444444; font-size: 15px; line-height: 21.299999237060547px; white-space: normal;"><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">Gerbert was also baptized Saturday and received the gift of the Holy
Ghost yesterday. He was so happy the whole weekend. Smiling and
telling everyone how good he felt. His two sons were able to come.
It's great to literally see a difference from the first time we talked
to now. The gospel is amazing and truly changes lives. </span></pre>
<pre style="color: #444444; font-size: 15px; line-height: 21.299999237060547px; white-space: normal;"><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">This week I also hit my one year mark. I can't believe it. This year
has been amazing. Everyday I learn something new or have some
experience that helps me understand how loving our Heavenly Father
really is and that helps me learn more about the gospel and how
blessed I am. This year I've had some of the best and hardest
experiences in my life. I have learned and grown a lot, and still have
so much more to learn and improve. More than anything, I'm really
grateful to be a missionary for The Church of Jesus Christ of
Latter-Day Saints and testify of Him and His restored gospel and the
happiness that comes and importance of living it so we can qualify to
live with our Heavenly Father again. </span></pre>

<pre style="color: #444444; line-height: 21.299999237060547px; white-space: normal;"><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">Another week, can't believe it. It was a great one. The beginning of
the week was pretty normal missionary work, still great. </span></pre>
<pre style="color: #444444; line-height: 21.299999237060547px; white-space: normal;"><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">On Thursday to Friday we had intercambios, but we are doing them
different in the mission now. Hermana Maza and I both went to the area
of the sister training leaders for the day. It felt weird leaving our
area 'naked' for the day, but was a good experience. I do always learn
from intercambios. I was with Hermana Staker, who I absolutely love. </span></pre>
<pre style="color: #444444; line-height: 21.299999237060547px; white-space: normal;"><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">Victor was baptized on Saturday! He's a great kid. It was a beautiful
baptism. His great-grandma, who is member, had the cutest, biggest
smile the whole day. The Spirit was really strong during his
confirmation Sunday. I'm really excited to see the great things he
does in his life! </span></pre>
<pre style="color: #444444; line-height: 21.299999237060547px; white-space: normal;"><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">Sunday we had interviews with President Pack. He's a great President.
I always feel so inspired to become a better missionary after meetings
with him. </span></pre>
<pre style="color: #444444; line-height: 21.299999237060547px; white-space: normal;"><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">This week I also learned where chocolate comes from, a fruit! No, I
didn't know. I'll attach the photo. The chocolate is inside the seeds,
that have to be dried out. The white part is the fruit you can eat.
I hope you've all enjoyed your week!
</span></pre>
