ok, I´m writing this family letter first after the disaster
of last week. As we were finishing up we got a call from the other hermanas
saying that our bus to go bowling was going to be there soon and that we needed
to get to the stop. So i lost those five minutes I was going to write you guys.
I hope at least part of the letter was legible.
Málaga is awesome. Our piso is a little interesting... I´ve
duct taped a shower curtain up in my shower because there is no rod or curtain,
and im too poor to buy a rod. And we need to get some new lightbulbs. But its
pretty and its big, so thats nice. i´m in the downtown area again, just like
Granada.
This weekend we actually even went to Granada for stake
conference, which was a huge tender mercy for me. i was able to see all those
old members and talk to them and take a few pictures. it was so great to see
all of them again, now here in the end of my mission. And i was actually able
to talk to them which I couldn´t do very well at the beginning of my
mission.
Yesterday we saw an awesome miracle. We couldn´t fast on
fast sunday so we were fasting together this sunday, specifically to help our
area grow because its kind of at a lower point right now. So we ended our fast
after getting back from Granada and went out to visit this lady from Colombia
named Guillermina (Gee-er-min-eeah). We had this really powerfull lesson where
we talked about why we´re obedient to Gods commandments and how thats the only
path to happiness. We hadn´t planned on it, but I felt impressed to really
bring that to baptism and how thats the first step to getting our lives into
order and in line with Gods plan for us. She´d been talking to us about the
problems in her life beforehand and just saying how she´d made so many mistakes
and her life was a mess. She was really responsive, but didnt´want to commit to
baptism at all. But we told her to pray and think about it and she´d get an
answer that its what she´s looking for.
After her we were going to a baptism in our ward from the
other hermanas. We´d invited her before the lesson but she´d told us she had to
study and didnt have time. Afterwards as we were leaving we invited her one
last time, and she was on teh verge of saying yes when her ex
husband came up and they had to talk about a few things. So we went to the bus
stop, kind of bummed she wasn´t going to come.
The bus is late. One is out of service or something and we
see on the sign that its not coming for 10 more minutes. We quickly called
Guillermina and she rushed out the door and met us at the stop, just as the bus
pulled up. Later, she told us that her husband had just stepped into the
elevator as her phone rang. And she LOVED the baptism. It was a huge leap in
spirituality for her, it was amazing.
So thats the big miralce of the week. My faith in fasting
has grown so much on the miracle, becasue it truly seems that every time I fast
a miracle happens. The Lord is trying to answer our prayers in every way He
can.
Side note. Bowling was awesome. I won :)
Love you all! Don´t forget to talk to your Heavenly Father
every day, He´s waiting to hear from you :)
Loves,
