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

Bilbao week 4 - Marriages left and right??

Val and Evan, just adding onto my list of people getting married and engaged while I´ve been gone! But seriously i´m super excited for both of you. Welcome to the fam Evan!! It´s good to know that i´ve got awesome in-laws. That includes you too, Tim. Hopefully i´ll be able to be at your wedding at least Valerie?? Haha if not it´s all good. I´ve been to quite a few in our family
Things are going well here in país vasco. We actually have some sun today! Probably the second time i´ve seen sun in the last week. Yesica and Yesenia came to church yesterday and are progressing well. We´re praying for them so that everything turns out good and that the baptisms go through. I wanna share the miracle of when we set a fecha with Susana. Susana is from Ecuador and is the wife of a less active named Pedro. He was baptized about 6 years ago i think and hasn´t been to active for the last couple of years. But he has a strong testimony of the gospel. We went to visit them on Saturday and we taught them the restoration. It wasn´t the most spiritual lesson because they have 3 little kids that were running around the whole time and going crazy. But as Susana listened you could tell that the Spirit was touching her heart. We invited her to be baptized and she said yes without hesitation. We set up her conversion plan and set the date for the 16th of february. At the end of the lesson we invited her to say the closing prayer. As she prayed, she thanked Heavenly Father for the chance that He is giving her to prepare for baptism and just started crying. She cried in silence for about a minute. We all stayed there kneeling as the Spirit testified to all in the room. It was so incredible. We invited both of them to church and she said she was coming for sure but Pedro wasn´t too sure. Yesterday, both of them showed up to church with the help of another member. They´re doing great. Tons of miracles are happening here in Bilbao. I love it. I love the people.

Well family im out again. Love you all. Try to not have any more weddings while im gone haha

Agur,
Elder Reeves
