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 10 - Contact the elect

Hello fam

I dont have a lot of time but everything´s going super well. The mission is going up in numbers and we´re starting to see a ton of miracles all over the mission. Elder Cerqueira has been doing intercambios all over the mission while Elder Keeler and I have been helping at zone conferences and teaching. Victor is still reading and is starting to notice more and more the truthfulness of the gospel. He´s still reading but we havent been able to set a baptismal date with him yet. We have so many good people we´re working with. We´re going to be seeing a lot of miracles here soon.This last Saturday we went to go visit a part member family that we found about a month ago contacting the less active mom in the metro. We had been contacting everyone in the metro and were just arriving to our stop. We could have stopped contacting because we were about to get off the metro but we saw the mom seated accross from us in the metro and seemed to be a nice lady so we started talking to her. Turns out that she was baptized Ecuador when she was like 14 i think and went to church for about a year but then stopped. Luckily she was getting off at the same metro stop as us so we were able to walk with her for a little bit and get her info. She is now married to her husband, Geovani, and they have 2 kids, the son Johan who is 14 years old and the daughter Jhovana who is 12. None of them are baptized. We´ve only been able to visit them like twice because of our schedule travelling and their work schedule. We´ve invited them to be baptized and Geovani told us that if he comes to know that this church is true that he´ll stay faithful for his whole life and bring his whole family and all his friends to church. This last Saturday we were able to visit Geovani. The rest of the family was gone but we taught him about the restoration and watched the movie with him. He LOVED it. Then on Sunday he came to church with Jhovana for the first time. LOVED church too. We have another visit with them tonight. We never would have found them if we hadn´t contacted that last lady on the metro. I love contacting. Pray for this family so that they can all come to church and start progressing together towards the temple.
I´m so grateful for our family and that we´re all sealed together for time and all eternity. You´re all examples for me and am grateful for your prayers. Mom good luck with everything in your calling. Hermana Pace is excited to listen to you in a couple of weeks. P.S. cant WAIT for general conference.

Love, Elder Reeves
