Wow I didn´t know that President Pace had sent a letter to both of you mom and dad. He impresses me more and more each day. I seriously have grown so much love for him and Hermana Pace and thank Heavenly Father every day for the chance that he´s given me to be able to work with both of them. Next to you, mom and dad, they´re one of the most amazing couples I know. President and Hermana have so much love for everyone. Every missionary in the mission just cant get enough of them because they feel so much of their love. I think they´ve been to their home ward here in Barcelona like twice since they got here because they just love going out and being with all the saints all over the mission. They are incredible.Well the miracles keep happening with Geovani and his family. I was gone in Albacete these last couple of days on an intercambio with 2 Elders who are kind of struggling right now (it turned out super well and we found a lot of good people to teach. I´m praying that they´ll start to see success there) but Elder Keeler and Elder Cerqueira went and visited Geovani and his family on Tuesday. They watched the Joseph Smith movie (the full one) and the family loved it. Geovani said that he wanted to be like Joseph Smith with his diligence and his faith. They invited all to pray to know if Joseph Smith was a true prophet. Well, last night when I got back here in Barç, Elder Cerqueira called them to follow up on how their prayers went. Geovani said that he already knew he was a prophet before he prayed but that he still got a confirmation from the Spirit, Johan the son felt the Spirit as he prayed, and the daughter Jovana after praying got up and opened up the Book of Mormon and just started reading. ALL 3 of them had personal answers directly from Heavenly Father. We couldn´t believe when Elder Cerqueira told us what happened after he got off the phone with Geovani. We were so grateful to the Spirit and the key role that it plays in the conversion process of investigators. It´s those kind of experiences that help investigators obtain their own testimonies and move forward with faith and confidence in the Lord. We´re hoping that we can have a visit with them tonight and set their baptismal date for sure.
When I was on the train back from Albacete (about 5 hours long) I had some good time to study and ponder. Dont worry i also found some opportunities to share the gospel. But I read a verse in 2 Nephi 9:18 and it really hit me hard. All of those that endure the crosses of the world will inherit all the God has prepared for us. The love of God is great and His wisdom is perfect. I´m so grateful for the opportunity to serve my God and my Savior and carry a little bit of the cross that Jesus Christ carried for us. I love my Savior and I love this gospel. Until next week.
Elder Reeves
