Hello family!
Well, I somehow completely ran out time today, so I´ll have
to be quick.
We had an awesome week this week! We saw some really cool
miracles. We found this awesome young couple (like really young, they must be
19 both of them). Javier and Yesabel. They are from the Dominican Republic and
they have a 6-month-old baby. We are not sure if they are married (experience
tells me that no) but they are amazing! They are so humble and so full of
faith. Javier told us from the first moment that he believes in God more than
in his own life. At first he didn´t understand why it was important that we
find the one true church, but after explaining he understood and said that he
wanted to know. They both committed to read and pray and they have been doing
it. They also came to church on Sunday! And the members were amazing! They took
them right in and made them feel at home. The whole branch eats together every
fast Sunday after the meetings (how cool is that?), everyone brings something.
So they stayed for that and it was awesome! We didn´t even have to sit by them.
The members just took care of them. I love this branch!
We also brought some members with us to visit Sara and
Martha and the same thing happened there. They hit it off from the first
minute. Then they went to a Relief Society activity the next day and got to
know all the women in the branch. They couldn´t come to church because of work,
but I´m really excited for the progress they are making as well.
The Lord is really blessing us here and I feel it´s for the
hard work we are doing. I came up with the goal to leave behind any barrier
that keeps me from being my best. I´ve been really talking with almost everyone
I can (not perfect still) much more than I ever have and there are some days
it´s been hard, but the Lord is showing that He blesses us for our best
efforts. I want to go home the best missionary I´ve been. And I feel like I´m
doing it.
Last cool thing. I saw the ocean today!!! It was awesome! We
went up to the tower of Hercules, one of the oldest Roman lighthouses still standing.
It was really cool! And I got sprayed by the waves :D It was so cool to be by
the sea again. I´ll send some pics along next week.
Well gotta run. Love you all! Till next week
Love,
Quinn
