Well,
I will start off with the bummer news. Laura and Scott have moved!!!!
They are the cute American couple that we stayed with for Thanksgiving
and Christmas. Oh man, we are so bummed! We went to their house one last
time on Thursday
and had a good time. We even made them an anniversary dinner because it
is this week and they will miss being together. It was great. Scott got
a job in Antarctica, and Laura and their little girl are going back to
Texas. It is the worst situation in the world that just makes you want
to die for them. Hard separation. We will definitely miss them! Keep
them in your prayers because being away from family for that long is
hard.
So, I went to Valdepeñas this week. Whew! It is cold
up their! It´s a beautiful city though. We had some great lessons. One
made me think a lot. We were teaching this guy, and his roommate came in
and sat down to listen. We gave the first lesson and at the end, gave
the baptismal invitation. The one guy accepted it, but his roommate just
sat there in silence. The Spirit got so stinking strong at this point.
The room was just filled. I wish you all could have felt it. Just
incredible. So this guy says that his family is all Mormon, so we asked
him if he thought they were happy. He said that they are the happiest
people he knows and he knows it is from the gospel. Then we asked if he
wanted that same happiness. Whew, the Spirit just kept getting stronger
and stronger. He sat there for a while and then told us that he was
baptized a long time ago, but wants nothing to do it now. He just shut it
down. It was sad because the Spirit was so strong and then he just
slapped it away. He felt the Spirit and then shews it off. We were
talking about how that happens and how it is so hard to see people who
could have so much in their lives, but then shut out what will bring it
to them. The girls there are going to work with him now though.
One of our cute 8 year old investigators Alba moved
away this week. We had one last lesson with her and we taught about how
a man was waiting in the water for God to save him. A boat comes to
help him, but the man says he is waiting for God. An airplane comes, but
the man says the same thing. Well, he ends up drowning. The moral of the
story is suppose to be that God works through other people a lot of
times, but we hadn´t said that part. Well, Alba had 2 friends over and
before we could say the moral of the story, one little girls face got
super shocked and said, ¨So God just let him die???!!!¨ Haha, it was
pretty funny. We cleared everything up, but just her look made us giggle
afterward.
Alright, well those are all the highlights of the
week! Next week is the council in Málaga. We are thinking of doing
splits with Jaen afterwards since it is so far from here, so I might not be
able to email next week. We will see. Hopefully we will get a little
time. Love you all and thanks for everything!
