Wherefore, ye must press forward with a steadfastness in Christ, having a perfect brightness of hope, and a love of God and of all men. Wherefore if ye shall press forward, feasting upon the word of Christ, and endure to the end, behold, thus saith the father: Ye shall have eternal life. -2 Nephi 31:20

Barcelona week 5 - Time flys when you´re flying around Spain

Wow it´s been so much fun being able to go around the mission and see all the beautiful areas with Pres and Hna Pace. Last week we had specialized training with Hospitalet and Barcelona, then on saturday we drove up to Bilbao, were there for the weekend on intercambios, and then had specialized training with their zone yesterday. Monday night we drove down to Lleida and then had their training this morning. We drove back after that and got home tonight. These last couple of days are seriously a blur. But it has been such a blessing to be with all the other missionaries and learn and grow from them. Tomorrow we´re catching a train and going down to Valencia and then coming back home on Thursday. On sunday we´ll be catching a flight to go to the Baleares Islands and have specialized training with that zone Monday morning, which will be the last zone. 2 days later we´ll be starting the transfers process which will go for at least 2 days. SO CRAZY. It´s been hard though having to be out of the area and not being with the investigators or members. We´ve got to learn to work a lot better with the members so that they can visit our investigators while we´re gone. Good news is that after tranfsers, we should have a couple of weeks free to work in the area. Then after that we start another round of Zone Conferences. Oh and we´re hoping to be having a baptism this weekend of a little 8 year old boy named Adrian from BOLIVIA!! His grandma got baptized a couple of years ago and we´ve been working with him and his mom. We havent been able to meet with Silvana too much because she works a lot. She wants to be baptized too though. Quick little miracle and sweet experience was that Silvana wasn´t coming to church with Adrian and he later went up to his mom and asked her why she didn´t go to church with him. She said that she was just so busy and tired that she couldn´t go. Then he asked her, "But don´t you want to live with me forever?" Sweetest thing ever. Adrian is incredible. Pray for both of them!

Alright gotta get going. Hope everyone´s doing well. Love you all
