Feliz thanksgiving mi familia!
Honestly i dont even remember what day thanksgiving is on but maybe we´ll cook up some pig or something here in Lleida. That sounds super fun that everyone´s going up to the house in Bountiful to celebrate. Just know me and Valerie will be sleeping when all of you are eating haha i hope you eat tons and gain the weight that i cant gain on the mission. Who´s all going to be there? Is there going to be a turkey bowl? Sorry that i cant be there to win the game for all of you. I´ll be there in 2 years! It´s actually really scary that i´ll only have one thanksgiving left in the mission after this one... alright im not going to think about it because everythings going way too fast.
A miracle happened this last week in La Seu. Elder Rasmussen and i went and visited this investigator named Melvi from Bolivia. Her daughter, Yhanaina is 11 and always goes to the church activities during the week and sometimes to church on sunday. We had a visit with Melvi and Yhanaina on Saturday and we taught them the restoration. After watching the Restoration movie, Melvi opened up and started to tell us how she believes way strongly in prayers being answered through dreams. She said there´s been a lot of times when she dreams something and then it happens soon after. One time she dreamed about 2 young men who came from a church. She didnt know who they were but she could recognize their faces. A little while later, Elder Pericle and Elder Estrada went to La Seu and met her at an activity in the chapel. She didnt say anything to them at the time but when she was telling Elder Rasmussen and I this story she said that Elder Pericle and Elder Estrada were the 2 young men from her dream. We told her that that wasnt a coincidence and that sometimes God really does prepare people through dreams. The Spirit was SO strong and she felt it. We invited her to be baptized on the 10th of December and she wasnt sure, but then Elder Rasmussen asked her what would be holding her back from being baptized. She said that she cant get baptized unless she´s been taught everything! We laughed and told her that that´s what we do as missionaries and that she can be ready for the 10th. Melvi and Yhanaina are preparing to receive the blessings of the gospel. God prepares people. We just need to find them. And usually God just puts them in our path just to make it easier for us.
Things are wonderful here in Lleida too. We´re still working hard and we know God will bless us with miracles this last part of the month. Thank you so much for all of your prayers and fasting. Prayer and fasting works. I love you all and hope thanksgiving has a lot of giving of thanks. Eat some turduken for me Nyall.
Elder Reeves
