I´ve just kind of given up trying to recognize the neices and nephews. Theyre so huge! Thanks for the pictures of your birthday mom. Seemed like a wild party with all those crazy sobrinos that i love so much. Cant wait to see them all again. Just kidding, i can wait a while... as long as i´m here on the mission.These last couple of days have been a whirlwind travelling around and giving these zone conferences. But i´ve loved every second of it. We have such incredible missionaries in the mission and there´s something new that i learn from each one of them. We first started out flying to Palma de Mallorca (one of the Baleares island) saturday night and then we were there for all Sunday and had the conference Monday morning. Then we flew to Valencia Monday night and had the conference Tuesday morning. We have a little break to write the fam this morning but tonight we drive up to Lleida for Zone conference up there. This sunday we take a train to Bilbao and have the conference on monday and then we have zone conference with Barcelona and Hospitalet Wendsay and Thursday. Never thought i would travel so much on my mission.
This last Sunday i was on splits with Elder Bronson and Elder Weiss in Palma. After church, we went to go visit an investigator, Jaime, who had been coming to church for a while with his girlfriend, who is a member. We sat down with him and the family and we found out that he had listened to the missionaries a lot before but he could never get baptized because he had a problem with smoking. For years he´s been trying to give it up but has never been able to. Now by some miracle, he has stopped completely. I never heard how he ended up being able to stop but he doesnt have any problems now. Elder Bronson talked about how all these years he´s been putting his faith in God and has been trying to repent and now he´s further along the repentence process by giving it up completely. Elder Bronson asked him what his next step will be. He said, "well now i just have to get baptized!" He is now preparing to be baptized on the 15th of this month and will be getting married to his girlfriend on the 21st. God is preparing His children. This is the second harvest of Spain.
We luckily have time to go visit Victor today in about an hour which will be super good. We´re going to try to get a date set for him and try to figure out how he can either get married to Juana or move out. He´s been reading 20 pages a day in the Book of Mormon. Incredible man.
I love the people here in Spain and it just makes me wanna punch a wall realizing how fast it´s just slipping away from me. I love all the missionaries and i especially love my companions. I have the best companions ever. And I have the best family ever. Love you all
Elder Reeves
