Alma 26:27

Hola familia! 

My thanksgiving was fun, the food was horrible though. Let me tell you, a potluck thanksgiving dinner with a bunch of missionaries does NOT workout. Our district was in charge of the main dish so we were like (there are 4 companionships in my district) so we were like ok two of us can bring chicken(bc spain doesn't have turkey) and the two of us can bring mashed potatoes. So we brought a rotisserie chicken and the elders made mashed potatoes and the other elders in our district decided to bring drinks and cake. So we had one chicken and a bowl of mashed potatoes. 18 people, so hermana penner and I ran and bought two more chickens. HAHAHAHA good thing this is only happening once. At least it was fun. But at zone conference we talked about #IluminaElMundo o sea #LightTheWorld and let me tell you I'm STOKED, and the ward is now stoked and we are just going around sharing it with everybody we can can because we can make this Christmas great for ourselves and for others and we can truly find Christ this Christmas, and I love the video it's so good and shows that we really can become like our Savior. Hmm, let's see what else happened this week, Chris told us he doesn't want to read the Book of Mormon so we are going to have to drop him, that's really sad. I was reading in PMG and it said that this gospel is either true or it isn't. Like we are either crazy or we are going to be saved and becoming Gods and Goddesses, don't be stubborn and lose out. Ugh it's so frustrating pero bueno. On the bright side we ate with Nancy and Moises yesterday, some members here, and let me tell you, they treat us like Goddesses. They made us salad, pumpkin soup, bread, fish, rice, fried egg plant(which was delicious but gave me some weird diarrhea) and fresh orange juice. I was stuffed but happy. Did I mention Nancy was blind? Yeah, she did all that blind and it was delicious she is the best and the sweetest women everrrrr. I also ate fried squid with another member, gross. My comp likes it though so she ate it all, que suerte. This ward is filled with like little old Spainard women who are either widows or their husbands are not members and they loveeee to feed us, it's nice and they are so crazy and funny and sweet they just never stop talking and you never know what you are gonna get to eat🙊. What do the sister in your ward do when they are not teaching? We don't have anything we go talk to people on the streets but you can't really do that, hmm every mission is different. As far as our other investigators... poco a poco. People are stubborn must be that Moroni 8&9, and lazy. anyways, love you all!!!! GO BOMBERS💛💚💛💚💛💚💛💚

Alma 14:28

!hola familia!

well... Leganes. it is definitely not A Coruna or barrio 8... i think it will take some time before it grows on me. Like all areas there are amazing people. Let me start with one of the first I've met that instantly fell in love with. Eloisa, she is probably about 76 and is a spainard women baptized about 6 months ago. She is just the amazing and nicest little lady. Her faith is an example for all of us. She is just the cutest and i will have to take a picture with her so you can all see her. Also let me explain what i learned this week about being an agent and not an object. So we have two investigators. First let me tell you about one of them, Christopher. He is 20 years old and just recently moved here from somewhere in Africa. Anyways, Chris is a man of GREAT faith. He reads the bible everyday and really strives to learn God´s word and do God´s will. So we introduce to him the Book of Mormon. We invite him to read it. He doesn't read it. We ask why, he explains thats he's never heard of it and we have the bible so we don't need another book, he told us he's been talking to a prophet in his country and that he's never heard of the Book of Mormon, its something new and that we have the Bible. First off, why are you asking your prophet and not God? So we asked why he reads the bible, to learn about the word of God. And i literally promise you, i bore the strongest testimony that the Book of Mormon is the word of God too, i literally in that moment have never felt the Book of

Mormon to be more true.  And do you know what happened? He said its not true because the Bible is the word of God!!!!! I was crushed and frustrated. So then i made him kneel down and pray to ask God, and he said an amazing prayer, he really wants to do God´s will and so he prayed for that and about the Book of Mormon and the Spirit was there and we left him with that, so now we will see what happens. Let me tell you about another investigator, Sara. She has had a really dark past that caused her to turn on her religion (catolica) so we taught her about the santa cena and the importance of Jesus Christ and the Atonement. So we invited her to church. Do you know what she told us? that she is just looking for the true church and therefore won't come. LADY, LET ME PUT SOMETHING IN YOUR BRAIN. You are never gonna find the true church, if you don't go!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I literally promised Chris and Sara all the blessings God has to offer plus more if they will just read the Book of Mormon or come to church and yet they still choose not do. DONT LOSE BLESSINGS FROM GOD AND DOING WHATS RIGHT FOR YOUR LIFE BY BEING STUBBORN AND STUPID. Ok that's what i learned this week. Also lets talk about church. soooo i'm like chilling saying hi to everybody and the second counselor introduces himself and he's like hey to welcome you to the ward you are going to lead music, i was like haha ok but i don't know how acting like it was a funny joke because that what he was acting like it was. Ssure enough guess who leads the music? Lets talk about how i don't know how to lead music and it was horrible and now the ward hates me. And then, the sunday school teacher didn't show up, so do you know who out of the blue had to teach sunday school? leganes is great though!!!! HP is actually super cool. We really get along. She is very sarcastic so we are sarcastic together, we should probably turn that into optimism though, hahaha. i'm actually having a lot of fun in leganes and i know once i get to know the ward better i won't want to leave. Thats about it for this week✌ love you all!!! have a good week!!!!!! Skype in five weeks!!!! (literally not counting just know its at the end of the transfer).

hola familia! 

 

well, probably the saddest thing happened to me this week. i was transferred out of b8. its sad but i knew my time had come. even sadder than that is b8 hermanas got shut down. there were just more hermanas going out than coming in and b8 got shut down. we are all so sad. it was definitely very hard but i am in Leganes. it is still in madrid. but i am so excited to be here! ive heard great things about this area!!! my new companion is hermana penner. she is awesome, this is her third transfer in the mission. she is from san diego has very nice hair and super sweet and funny and always laughing! it is going to be a great transfer! also we get to Skype this transfer!!! im stoked but thats not till the end so i will focus until then. well here in Leganes there is a mall that has an apple store so i am currently emailing on a mac😁 BLESSED anyways my last week in b8 was good. i made marta banana bread and we decided to take it to her before district meeting and we just expected to drop it off and tell her we love her  but she had time to meet!!!!!!! we passed her on to the elders and we know they will take great care of her. i ate empanadas at the alvarez family again aka heaven. and i forgot pday was last wednesday so not much has happened other than the switch. anyways it was very sad the way things ended in b8 but i know God has a plan for that barrio and all the people we were teaching and i know that i have work to do here in leganes. im excited!! well have a good week love you all!!!!!!

¡Hola familia! 

This week was super good! And I had an awesome birthday! I ate cake three times in one day.. so hermana Bates made me frenchtoast for breakfast and then the morning was normal and then we went to lunch with the De la Cruz family and they made me a cake and lasagna and then we went to sports where lisbeth brought me a surprise cake and then after we went to Dora(she's my mom here in B8) and she threw me a surprise party!!!!! She is so nice and hermana Bates bought me flowers which was nice, and I got my birthday package I was a little bit confused but I am excited to make the cake and the nativity and it's a good idea to use for fhe! We saw a miracle this week. Do you remember our investigator deisy? Well we had a lesson with her and she suprised us with a friend! Her friend is spainard, and she is really looking for peace, we met with her Sunday and we are excited to meet with her again this week, and she is super excited to come to church! She seems super promising and seems willing to do anything she asks us. All our investigators are being kinda flojo, deisy hasn't come to church, Francisco failed us like three times this week and didn't come to church. 🙄 the temple was super awesome today, I felt like the world is about to go down in flames but we have nothing to worry about because we have this gospel and Gods promises. And then we played sports. And it's been a good week. 

Ok love you all have a good week!!!!
