My new area is incredible! My companion is incredible! Area first:
There are tons of members. They are super good and they just want to
help us. This ward is super good. Our bishop is from Oregon. Our area consists
of a bunch of little towns that are just south of Sabadell (for example
Barbara, Montcada, Badía). It is surprising how many members are in these
little towns. Usually the members are just in the big city and not in the
towns. You can tell that the church is well established here.
My companion. Elder Kimball. He is a boss. He was an SBO at Mountain
Crest. We get along as well as I did with the boys in the tie crew. I feel like
I am working with my best friend. This is a real blessing to be with him. The
trick now is staying focused the whole time because we just love all the same
stuff (yes, baptism included).
Huge miracles this week. Our miracle
this week came from a good American soul. Joaquim was driving a taxi one day
when he talked with an American named Bryan who told him where he could find
peace and God. Joaquim called the office and that was when we went and shared
the message of the restoration. He loved what we shared and accepted the
invitation to be baptized. He came to church and when they asked him to present
himself he just said how glad he was to have been brought to the church by us
and how thankful he was to us. Such a blessing to be part of the conversion
process.
Also the other Elders found an
old Spanish lady who is catholic named Monica. She accepted a Book of Mormon
and is reading. She missed church but accepted a fecha later that afternoon.
Tons of miracles and blessings.
We are just going as hard as we
can until that bell rings.
Thank you for your prayers and support
in my behalf and in behalf of our friends.
Love y´all!
