Seriously i´m super sorry fam for not writing for 2 weeks... I wrote that email last week and didn´t realize that it didnt go through. Hope you´ll forgive me.
General conference was the BEST. I love general conference more every time that i watch it. Crazy revelation by President Monson!! Our missionary numbers are going to fly up! I think so many more people will be going on their missions. Actually here in Spain was one of the countries that allowed boys to go at 18. But now the whole world is going to be going on missions. We were super excited when we heard that. Still dont anything can beat how surprised I was when mom was called as 2nd counselor though... But mom you´re so incredible that i should have been expecting it.
The miracle we saw this last week was the power of God in getting our investigators to conference to hear His words and His servants. Saturday afternoon we didn´t have any investigators able to come but on Sunday we had a lot of investigators that had told us that they were coming. Sunday morning we woke up and headed out to see the priesthood session and as we went down in to the metro stop, there was a strike going on with the Barcelona metro system and the metros were only passing by about every HOUR (not very uncommon on work days, but the fact that there was a strike on a Sunday is almost unheard of). Elder Cerqueira turned to me and said, "wow, Satan´s smart. The most important Sunday and Satan throws out a strike so that people cant get to conference." I realized at that moment that Satan really was trying to stop our investigators from coming. We walked to the church praying the whole way that our investigators would be able to make it and hear the word of God. God heard our prayers. Nohemy couldn´t make it to any of the sessions because of work but she got to the church at 4:00 (during the break in between conferences) and we were able to put a session on a computer and she and other members who didn´t make it on time were able to watch the session of conference they missed. Elizabeth and André got an hour late to the session they were trying to get to but they got there right at the intermediate hymn and were able to hear Elder González, Elder Holland and President Monson speak. Luckily Victor lives pretty close to the church so he was able to come with Juana and the fam and see all the sessions on sunday, including priesthood session. Nohemy, Elizabeth and André all have fechas to be baptized. Every day in the mission makes the battle between God and Satan more real in my eyes. He is real. He doesn´t want us to have the happiness and the eternal life that comes through the Gospel of Jesus Christ. But even more important, Heavenly Father is real. And as He sees our true desires and our faith, He provides the way.
Hope you enjoy this email seeing that you havent received any for the last 3 weeks haha LOVE YOU ALL!!!!
