!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).
