Hello there!! 

This week was transfer week and thankfully, I¨m staying!!!! Hna Roan and I will be together for at least one more transfer :) We´re both very excited about it, we´ve got a lot of work to do together still.

This weekend we had a baptism! She´s a really nice girl a few years older than me named Nora. Her mom and brother were originally going to get baptized too, but they decided not too. I was really proud of her for continuing on the path she kenw was right. I´m sure it wasn´t easy, but she did it. Hna Roan and I and a girl from the ward did a musical number together and we chose the songs for the baptism really carefully. Both her brother and mom were there and then a couple investigators too, so we really wanted to bring the Spirit. I really felt it, it was one of the best baptisms I´ve experienced here. A lot of the ward was there too because there´d been a meeting just before so everyone stayed for the baptism. Sucess!

This week was tough. We struggled to stay focused, but even though we were struggling we still experienced miracles. I was feeling really frustrated earlier this week that we still didn´t have any investigators after a whole transfer. And the girl that we thought was going to be golden flo

pped earlier that week, so I was feeling pretty down.

 I prayed one day all day that I would be able to talk to just one person. Just one person who would be a good investigator, and that´d I´d recognize and know who to talk to. Because it´s still really hard for me to randomly talk to peopel on the street, I feel super awkward doign it. But I prayed for help and watched every face that walked past all day and tried to really feel for the Spirit and keep a prayer in my heart. That day as we were walking we passed someone and I said hi, just like we always do, not really even thinking about it.

 We walked past a few steps and he turned and said hi like he knew who i was so we stopped. He started talking to us and it took me a little bit to recognize him. He was an old investigator that Hna Brown and I had dropped because he hadn´t answered the door or his phone for a while. He said he has a job (which is a miracle here in Spain, he´d been looking forever) and he asked why we hadn´t stopped by lately. So we promised to call him soon and stop by!! 

I was on such a spiritual high. It was a direct answer to my prayer in a way I totally hadn´t expected. I was singing inside after we left, I was just so happy. It was such a testimony builder to me that specific, direct prayers with an intent to act lead to answers.

We actually had another really similar moment that same week. María, our recent convert, needed to move to a different piso really bad. The one´s she´s in is too expensive and the piso owner is a little scary. She was just feeling super overwhelmed and actually cried some (María NEVER cries). She´s just had a lot of really tough things going on in her life right now, and it was just one thing too many. SHe had to be out of her piso by the end of the month or they were goign to be on the street. 

So being the missionary´s we are, we said a prayer with her. There was no other way we coudl really help her. I was lucky enough to be the one to say it. I was praying really hard. Really hard. And then this overwhelming Spirit came over me and I felt the Gift of Tongues go to work. The Spirit guided me and I asked that she would be able to find a piso that week. This was Tuesday, And I just KNEW she´d find one. There was no doubt in my mind

. After that we got right to work and called her visiting teacher and when we left María called the bishop. María is wanting to move closer to the church so she can go easier, which is on the other side of town. But Hna Roan and I were over there during the week for visiting teaching and we wrote down the numbers for all the relators and piso´s for rent signs we saw. We wandered for like 45 minutes trying to help her find a piso.We called her during the week and she didn´t have one yet and sounded really discouraged.

That Sunday I sat down next to her and told her we had some numbers to help her. With a big smile she told me that she´d found one in her price range. It was such a miracle. I´m still amazed by it. 

I love you all a lot. I love this gospel so much. This week I´ve really learned that God does answer prayers. He is listening, and he wants to help us. We just have to have the faith and ask direct questions. Have a wonderful week! I´m giving you all internet hugs. 

Loves,
