Hola todos,
Mom and dad how does it feel to have that homecoming done?? im sure
you two did amazing like always. Did you have it recorded or typed up
or something? Because i would love to hear it. if not its totally
fine. And thanks for sending that card. Sorry i forgot to email you
the address last week but im glad you sent it to the office because
that will be easiest. That was such a good story about finding your
passports. Heavenly Father always hears our prayers and never forgets
to answer them. But theyre always in His time and His way. He
definitely has been hearing our prayers here in Lleida. We´ve had 5
people at church for the last 3 weeks in a row and we´re seeing tons
of miracles each day. Its insane.
Frank from Nigeria is doing so good. We see him almost every day and
this week we taught him the Gospel of Jesus Christ, the Word of
Wisdom, and the Law of Chastity. He struggles with the Law of
Chastity but has completely stopped smoking. He came to church
yesterday and loved it. He said he felt welcomed and everyone was
friendly to him. We had a miracle with him this past week on
Wednesday. We went to go teach him and we aksed him if he had prayed
to know if this was the true church and that the Book of Mormon is the
word of God. He said he hadnt so we invited him to pray right then
during the lesson to ask. We kneeled down and he began to pray. The
whole time he was praying, I was just praying and praying that he
would feel the Spirit and get an answer. He literally poured out his
whole soul asking for an answer. I definitely felt the Spirit and I
was hoping he would. He finished the prayer and we were just kind of
silent for a little bit and then we asked him how he felt and he said
that he felt a ton of peace and happiness. We told him that this was
the Spirit testifying to him that the church is true and that he needs
to get baptized. He said he knew it was the Spirit and is progressing
more and more each day towards his baptism on the 24th. I love Frank.
We will be having a baptism this weekend with Danny! He is from
Colombia and has been being taught for almost a year. He has had like
5 different dates to get baptized but now he finally is doing it. He
is way excited and ready. Also on saturday we get transfer calls... i
dont know how i´ve already been here in the field for a whole
transfer. We´re pretty sure that Elder Pericle and i will stay
together just because of the new training program but you never know.
So i´ll let you know next week. Chao!
Love, Elder Reeves

Lleida Week 4 - The cast outs
This week has been incredible. Elder Pericle and i have been working
ourselves to death and we´ve been blessed with tons of visits and new
investigators this past week.
On friday, we were walking on the street to one of our visits and this
gitano (gypsy) family who we´ve met before drove up and wanted to meet
with us again on saturday. The mother (Sara) is the sweetest lady
ever and her son (Gabriel) is amazing, but the dad is a complete drunk
and smoker. He is CONSTANTLY drunk and oustide smoking. It´s so sad
because the mom and the son are so nice and good. But anways we went
to go visit them on saturday and everything was going good. The dad
was drunk like always but he was treating us nicely and was respecting
us. We started teaching the 2nd lesson and the dad stayed for about 5
minutes and then he had to go out for a smoke. Then about 5 min
later, the dad walked back in with his brother and they told us to
leave. The brother didnt like us at all and said that everyone in the
gitano neighborhood knew that their family was meeting with the
mormons so he didnt want us there. Luckily we had a member with us
who was backing us up and helping us out and we said we were sorry but
we were almost done with the lesson so they let us finish. The Spirit
was completely gone and the dad was being dumb saying that he was the
boss of the family and that we need to talk to him if we ever wanted
to come back and visit, even though 10 min earlier he was all happy
and excited to see us. So we left and we dont know what´s going to
happen... but Sara and Gabriel totally want to learn more and could be
so ready for baptism.
We lost track of Dayo in the beginning of this last week and we didnt
know how to get ahold of him because he doesn´t have a phone or a
home. Elders Tirado and Rasmussen found him one day but he didnt want
to talk to him. Then we saw him in the street and he was acting
really weird and didn´t want to talk to us either. We told him that
we still wanted to meet with him and that we would meet him on
saturday at the university. At first he didn´t show up and we were
afraid he wouldn´t come, but we were praying that he would... and then
we saw him. We met with him and asked him what was happening and he
told us that everything he has was stolen: his clothes, money, and
even his Book of Mormon. His faith is really being tried right now.
We invited him to come to church yesterday and told him if he didnt
show up that we would meet him at the university again at 4 yesterday.
He didnt show up to church but he came to the university. He says he
still has desires to be baptized but he´s just going through some
really hard times in his life right now. We promised him blessings as
he continues to have faith and is baptized. We´ve set up more visits
this week and we need to teach him the 3rd and 4th lessons and he
needs to come to church twice still.
Yesterday Elder Pericle and I went to teach one of our new
investigators, Pilar, the first lesson and as we were beginning to
teach her, another guy walked in named Chaz. We invited him to stay
and listen so he said he would. As we continued to teach, we invited
both Pilar and Chaz to be baptized and they both said yes. Chaz
shared with us how he hadn´t been to church in a while but he decided
to go yesterday to the Catholic church. He said, "I know it´s not a
coincidence that I met you 2 elders today. I´ve been waiting to find
the correct way of baptism." It´s amazing to see how when people
begin to put their faith in God and have the desires to change that
Heavenly Father puts us in their path or puts them in ours.
Family i grow to love the mission more and more every day. Yeah its
hard and we sweat bucketfulls every day, but i love it. Love you.

Lleida Week 3 Chino Man
A new nephew!! Andrew is a good name. Congrats Julie and Brett! And
Val i love hearing your stories and your successes in France. The
work is amazing.
This week has been a crazy week filled with miracles and hard times.
So on saturday Elder Pericle and i were walking back from a visit we
had with one of our investigators and we saw this chinese guy standing
on the sidewalk with buckets and a bag full of vegetables. We started
talking to him and asked if we could help him take his vegetables to
his piso. He barely spoke any spanish and had a crazy chino accent
mixed in with the spanish so it was way hard to understand him. After
like 10 miles (or it seemed like it because the buckets were so heavy)
we got to his piso and we went inside with him. When we got inside
there was another chino and we hoped that maybe he knew more spanish
and we could talk to him... NOPE! He was even worse than the other
one haha but we found out his name was Jhung Hai or however you spell
it. Anways we tried to tell them that we were missionaries and we
pulled out a pass along card. Jhung Hai figured out what we were
talking about and he quickly ran out of the room and came running back
with a chinese Bible. He pointed to it and then to himself and said,
"Yo... Jesus... por dos años" We realized that they were christians!
We wrote down the address of the church and when it starts and invited
them to come. We didnt think anything would come out of it but then
the next day on sunday, guess who showed up to church.... Jhung Hai
with his wife!! Haha it was amazing. We sat with them and they didnt
understand anything but they could see that we were so happy that they
were there. We´re not exactly sure what we´re going to do now with
them... but we´re going to get a Book of Mormon in chinese and give it
to them.
Speaking about church, we havent been having very much success with
getting investigators to church lately and this last sunday we really
wanted to have a lot of people to show up. Saturday night we
specifically prayed that we would have 5 investigators show up to
church the next day. We got to church and there was only one
investigator there already, Andrés, who comes to church every sunday.
Then right before sacrament meeting started another investigator,
Adriana, walked in with a member. Sacrament meeting started and we
were afraid we would only have the 2 investigators there. But then,
Danny, another investigator walked in and right after him, was Jhung
Hai and his wife that we had met the day before. We had exactly 5
investigators at church. Heavenly Father always hears and answers our
prayers.
This week we met a man in the street who is homeless and has no job,
named Dayo. He is from Nigeria and is about 30 years old. He has no
family here and he barely speaks any spanish. We set up a visit with
him on thursday at the University but didnt really think anything
would come out of it. We got to the University and there he was
sitting on a bench. We talked to him about the restoration and told
him that he can know for himself if these things are true. We asked
him that when he knows these things to be true if he would be baptized
and he said yes! Friday and saturday we met with him again and taught
him more. His date to be baptized was September 10th but he didnt
show up to church yesterday for some reason so we have to push it back
to September 17th. He doesnt have a phone or a house so we´re trying
to find him again but we know the Lord will guide us to find him. He
is definitely an elegido.
Our baptismal date with Mami was on 10th also but she left this
weekend again to go to Barcelona. She had the same excuse last
weekend and we dont know why she goes there but we have to push her
date back to the 17th. We tried to get with her every day this week
and have a visit but she fired us 4 times and we were only able to
meet with her once. We´re working hard with her and trying to help
her progress but we´re afraid that she´s going to keep cancelling our
visits. We´ll see what happens this week.
Love you fam. I´ll talk to you all next week!

Lleida Week 2
Familia!!
Alright to start off i need to apologize to mom for not wishing happy
birthday last week... i totally remembered your birthday last week and
i was going to write you happy birthday but then i forgot. So HAPPY
BIRTHDAY MADRE!!! and happy birthday to all the nieces and nephews and
anyone else! im sorry birthdays are probably the last things i
remember.
Anyways this week has been a great week. I cant believe how fast time
is going again. it started to slow down when i first got here to
Lleida but now its flying by again. something thats hard here in
Lleida is that everyone we teach says they will come to church but
then they never do. And nobody can progress towards baptism unless
they come to church. We´re trying to help people realize the
importance of going to church but its hard for them to understand. Oh
a funny story i just remembered about church yesterday... so Elder
Pericle was teaching our class with the investigadors about the
priesthood and i started to bare my testimony at the end of the
lesson. There´s 2 words in spanish that i get confused sometimes
"olivdar" (to forget) and "odiar" (to hate). I was going to say,
"sometimes i forget the power that we have as priesthood holders"...
but it ended up coming out "sometimes i hate the power that we have as
priesthood holders" hahaha it was hilarious. Luckily there was only
us four missionaries in there with one of our investigadors and
Luciano who just got baptized. gotta love making mistakes when youre
learning spanish... but thats how you learn.
A miracle we had this week was on wednesday we were going to go see
Andrés (12 year old kid, amazing and always comes to church) who has
been ready to be baptized for a while now (Elder Pericle has been
trying to get him baptized since May) but his mom has been being weird
and wont allow it even though she´s a member herself. We decided to
fast for him that day and ask for a miracle to happen so he could be
baptized. That day was SO hot and EVERYONE we visited was offering us
food and water. We rufused all the offers and kept fasting. The
visit with Andrés was our last visit of the day and we brought the
bishop with us. We had a great lesson with him about the importance
of baptism but his mom at first didnt agree. But we continued to
teach and the mom slowly started to change and now she is totally for
having Andrés to be baptized! We know that Heavenly Father heard our
prayers and blessed us with this miracle through our fasting and
faith. His date to be baptized is September 17.
We got a new baptismal date this week with a lady named Mami (mommy).
She´s from Gineau Ecuatorial and is about 50 years old with no job.
She was a referral from the Elders in Hospitalet and we met her on
wednesday i think. She always has good questions to ask while we´re
teaching and she´s willing to change. We taught her the first lesson
and committed her to be baptized on September 10! We were going to
set it for September 3 but she was leaving on a trip to Barcelona
yesterday so she couldn´t go to church yesterday. We´re meeting with
her again tonight. She is an amazing lady! I´ll attach a picture
with her.
I love you fam. I pray for you all every day and i definitely need
your prayers too. Thank you for all your support and your prayers.

Lleida Week 1
Familia!! I love Lleida! Elder Pericle and i have been working hard
here in the city. A little more about Lleida: i thought it was north
of barcelona but it´s actually almost directly west from Barcelona.
it´s in the Hospitalet stake (1 of the 2 stakes in Barcelona) and isnt
a very big city but it´s still pretty good sized. it´s not very green
or mountainous here but it´s definitely hilly in some parts. right
now we dont have the city split between us 2 companionships so we have
both just been working around the whole city. But President called us
and told us that we have to split the city sadly... so probably on
thursday it will be split.
Mom, Elder Pericle has been out for a little over a year haha i was
saying that he´s been in Lleida for 2 transfers. They have this whole
new program that all the missions around the world are starting with
all the trainers and the trainees. We have steps and goals that we
have to accomplish every week that goes for 12 weeks. Its called "the
first 12 weeks". Pretty much by the end of the 2 transfers with your
trainer, you should be ready to become a trainer if youre called
upon... its kinda putting a lot of pressure on the trainee but the
program is really good and will help a ton for the new missionaries.
it´s weird though because my group that just got to the mission field
is the first one to start this program so we´re just getting used to
it.
Yesterday at church was quite the experience... i met all the people
in the ward and i had to get up during sacrament meeting and introduce
myself to the ward. i love all the members here in the ward, they´re
all really strong and good members but i had no idea what people we´re
saying to me most of the time haha. the spanish is still coming but
im getting better each day. and also Elder Rassmussen and Elder
Tirado had a baptism on saturday with this guy from Romania named
Luciano. He is an amazing convert and it was a great baptism.
One miracle experience that we had this week:
Yesterday all of our visits were falling through and no one was home
that we wanted to visit. Elder Pericle and I were pretty disappointed
but he had a feeling to go visit this family from Dominican Republic.
We walked over to their piso and they let us in. Not only were the
husband and wife there (Eusevio and Janet) but they had 5 other adult
friends there in their living room. We taught all of them the first
lesson and the Spirit was so strong. 3 of the adults werent very
receptive to the message but 2 of them (Francisco and Ana) were very
receptive and both took Book of Mormons. We have another visit set up
to visit both of them and teach them more. It was an amazing
experience for me to teach 7 adults all at once but we could
definitely tell who was ready to here the Gospel and who wasnt.
If you cant tell, im trying to keep the rules and not use any slang in
this email. It´s something that President and Sister Hinckley stress
a ton that all the missionaries are trying to keep. We cant say
anything that´s even remotely close to being slang (cool, awesome,
ect.) its probably the hardest thing ive ever tried to do in my life.
Well we have a visita soon so i have to get going but here´s some
pictures of when i first arrived to barcelona and there´s a picture of
me and Elder Pericle with one of our investigadors Donato from Africa.
Adios mi familia!
