Helloooo family!!
Hope everythings well with everyone this
week. This week was a week of learning and growth.
We had a cita with a less active, Nancy, this week that
we´ve been trying to get ahold of for months. She´s super busy and instead of
calling her like we normally do, we went and knocked her door. So glad she was
there because she lives out on the edge of the city so it took us a while to
walk there. We´re her visiting teachers too so it was really awesome to finally
meet her.
It´s been a hard week, but we´re pushing foward. With God
all things are possible. And only with Him, because on our own we´re too weak
to do the things we need to do. I¨m actually grateful for how hard its been,
because its really teaching me how to rely on the Lord. I´ve learned so much
here in Granada and drawn so much closer to the Lord. I had to or I couldn´t
have made it this far.
This weekend is a holiday here in Spain so grocery shopping
today was interesting. This morning in correlacion (meeting with the ward
mission leader. Normally not on Mondays but this weekend was messed up with the
holiday) we found out that all the grocery stores are closed. So instead of
going two streets over like usual we went to the edge of town where Nancy
lives. There´s a Carrefour out there and that sells American food and isn´t a
Spanish store so we were hoping that it might be open.
Unfortunately, it wasn´t. So we treaded all the way back to
where we live and bought fruit at a little fruit store and a few other things
at a corner store. We´ll survive, but it´ll be interesting this week. But we
found ramen! Real ramen, not the american stuff. I´m really excited to try it.
As all my roommates from last year know, I LOVE ramen. I add onion and
sometimes soy sauce and spinach and sometimes an egg. It´s sooooooo
goooooooood. So I´m pretty excited about that. It was definately a tender mercy
this week.
Also, another miracle this week. There´s this Nigerian lady
that begs outside our piso every day that we´ve made friends with. We ran into
her in another part of town on the way to another cita and got her address and
number. It was perfect! So we´re really excited to start working with her,
hopefully everythign will pan out. I´ll keep you updated.
This week we also had specialized training and interviews
with President. It was reallly nice to see him. Every mission president handles
thier missionary´s a little different, and ours treats us like we´re his kids.
I love it. We´re starting a new program for the next month to try and help all
the missionary´s find and baptize a lot more people and he was training us in
that.
I love you all a lot. Hope it´s a good week for you all,
thanks for all the prayers. :) I know Christ lives and loves us. Now more than
ever. He knows we aren´t perfect but still wants us. He will never leave us to
struggle on our own if we ask for his help. This is key as I´m coming to learn.
Loves. :)
