Spanish holiday

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. :)
