SCUATTY!!!! Happy Father´s Day!
There are so many things to be thankful for in life I wouldn´t know
where to start. One that I would like to focus on is how grateful I am
for my earthly father and heavenly father. I wouldn´t be where I am
today without either one of them. I can name experience after
experience of how each have had such a strong influence and good effect
on me. There have been times in my life where I was stuck and really
didn´t know how to move forward with my life. Sometimes I would go to
my heavenly father first but most of the time the first source I went to
was my earthly father. Always his councel, thoughtfulness, love,
and guidance taught me to rely on my heavenly father. How grateful I am
for being raised by goodly parents because now I have had no choice but
to rely on my heavenly father. How marvellous it is to have a earthly
father who has stayed true to the faith and been such a christ-like
example for me. ¡Gracias! ¡Te amo Papa!
This week in my studies I have gained an appreciation for the
pioneers. What marvellous miracles they saw as they sacrificed
everything they had. How merciful God is when we obey him and sacrifice
for his work on this earth. I have learned to appreciate and respect
who I am due to my ancestors sacrifice and faith. A great movie I
recommend is 17 miracles.
Thanks mom for the package! I loved it...every single treasure
that was inside haha :) I´m enjoying having the famous Cox´s honey
again! Also I need some good typical American recipes. Everyone and
their mother keeps asking! Thanks love you! and I´m excited to vote!
This past week we have worked hard, but also have enjoyed our
time. Ramoni, our Spaniard investigator, took us on the running of the
BULLS tour this week! One of my highlight moments in Spain! So fun!
She spoiled us. She took us out for lunch, showed us the city, let us
run the bull run, took pictures for us, bought us a DVD of the actual
bull run live since we will have to evacuate as missionaries, bought us
famous Beatriz, then ended in a popular Spaniard Bocadillo restaurante!
Quite nice and spectacular! I would love for you all to see it for
yourselves when you come! It´s neat! She told us all the interesting
facts and facts that I will not tell because I didn´t even want to know
them...haha. The next day we went with the Elders to Bilboa for Zone
Enfoque and I sadly lost like always to a competative Alphabet game on
the way home. That game takes a whole new course in a different
country! No air-ride equip....nothing haha. Something about the Latin
culture too is that dreams are very important to them and they take them
very seriously. We always have to listen to everyones crazzzy dreams.
It´s funny and their always about 20 minutes long to tell...there goes
the 45 minute lesson. haha. We´re also struggling a lot with people
just getting over things and fears to just baptize! It´s a new
challenge as a missionary trying to help them realize that as we put
faith in God and take the step of Baptism all will work out because it
has to work out. Lot´s of our investigators right now are having a hard
time giving up coffee. Slowly as I explain it as a commandment from
God and focus on the blessings I´ve seen a change in them. It´s really
neat when they hit that point. We´re also struggling with people who
have already been baptized. They don´t understand the authority
principle that we explain. My companion and I have become really
creative trying to explain this authority precept to them.
I pray for each of you individually and love you all!!!! Keep the faith ;0)
