First off i would also just like to give my thanks for Emily and for the life she lived. I feel of her help and her work that she is doing on the other side of the veil. She has always been such an example to me and always will be. I cant wait for that day when we can all be with her again. I´m so grateful for the plan that God has for all of us and that we are a family sealed for all eternity.
What is this storm that happened?? 102 m/h winds?! Thats crazy! I know Heavenly Father is always watching over and protecting my family while im away. It´s so weird because i dont feel scared for you haha sorry if that sounds a little harsh fam but i just know i can trust in Heavenly Father and make my will His will. I know He is always watching over you all.
Alright so i have some noticias for all of you..... first of all, this week there´s a lot of Christmas conferences and meetings for the mission that President has to go to SO...................... we got transfer calls today instead of next week!! Actually it was all on our emails and so i know whats happening next week. AND............... im getting transfered out of Lleida! AND..................... im going to the OFFICE! Yeah i know, the LAST thing i thought would happen to me. Im going to be ayudante at 6 months! Haha no im just kidding im going to either be over the finances or over the distribution. President isnt sure yet. But crazy huh?? Im going to be in Barcelona in the office every day for the next 6 months at least! I think we have to be in the office until 5 every day and then we can go out and proselite for the rest of the night. And im not sure who my companion is yet but i´ll let you know next week. Its definitely going to be a trial for me not being able to proselite all day all the time but i know President Hinckley is called of God and receives revelation for this mission. Im going to learn a lot and im excited to work closer with President and Hermana Hinckley. Elder Bajaña is staying here in Lleida and is going to be Zone Leader again! The Zone Leaders of this zone have always been in Zaragoza but the zone conferences have always been here in Lleida because its the Lleida zone. So President changed it so everything is a lot easier for the conferences and intercambios. His companion will be Elder Jimenez who ive never met but he seems like an amazing missionary. Elder Rasmussen is going to Alcoy which is in the Valencia zone and Elder Kane is staying here and is going to get the Elder who´s coming from Alcoy. So, BIG changes in the Lleida zone. Alright onto my story for this week.
This miracle story starts 3 weeks ago when our recent convert Maria brought her friend Elena to church. We had a good lesson with her right after church and we set another visit with her for that next tuesday. We went to the visit that tuesday and Elena didnt show up. Maria told us that she said she´s been in her church for too long and she doesnt want anything else from another church. We were pretty let down because we thought she would be a miracle baptism. Then this last saturday we went to visit Maria and.... Elena was there! She told us that things in her life are not going so good and she´s looking for the happiness and peace that she doesnt have. She started crying and the thought came to my head to give her a blessing. We taught her about the power of the priesthood and we gave her a blessing. It was amazing to feel the power of the Holy Ghost work through me and feel my mouth get filled with the words to say. During the blessing she stopped crying and was SO calm and quiet. We set a fecha with her right after the blessing. She came to church yesterday with Maria and told us that during the blessing she knew that she had to get baptized in the church.
Fam, the power of the priesthood is real and miracles still happen today. I have felt it work through me and i know that this is the true church of Jesus Christ with God´s authority and power. I love this work and the experiences that i have every day. I love you all and will talk to you next week.... in BARCELONA!! The good thing is i´ll get all my letters and packages right on time haha
