Quarantine: Week 7

Hola a todos!

I have been absolutely thrilled this week as I have heard that the overall cases has dropped, and a light in the tunnel has appeared! Spain has also released some news stating that in the coming weeks we will be able to take walks and get out of piso for a little bit. I am so excited, hints of normal life are coming back! Always keeping that positive mindset!

We have been doing our best to stay busy whilst in quarantine, and we have been meeting with members over zoom, which I am sure all of you know how user friendly that app is... But it has been a real faith builder and a humbling experience as we talk with these people. They share powerful testimonies of the Gospel, and how much joy it has brought into their lives. And clearly, their situation is not great, not great at all. Clearly they could have focused on the negative, the fact that we have been stuck in here over 43 days, and still will be here through May, that school, church, activities, basically everything has been cancelled. But no! They focus on what they do have, and that is the Gospel of Jesus Christ! They follow the words of Nephi, 2 Nephi 25:26

26 And we talk of Christ, we rejoice in Christ, we preach of Christ, we prophesy of Christ, and we write according to our prophecies, that our children may know to what source they may look for a remission of their sins.

We rejoice in Christ! Because... Philippians 4:13
13 I can do all things through Christ which strengtheneth me.

We can do all through him! We can have victory, through him! And who doesn't love the word victory??? I know this Gospel is true, and I know we achieve victory in ALL things through Christ. 

Until next week!
