Visiting with Leonardo
It has been a great week!!! And wow is it hot!!! We have had a very full schedule, and this week flew by quite fast, it was a crazy week, but we had some really awesome experiences, and we took advantage of being able to meet with people in parks!
We went to Lorca, a neighboring city, so we could chill and talk with our friend Leonardo. He is a beast! He is from Columbia but moved to Spain very recently with his family. He is just a super awesome dude, and we got to walk around the streets of Lorca with him, and sit in a park and just be his friend, and listen to him. He has had some really tough times recently, with finding a job and adjusting to living in Spain, but it was great to be able to sit with him, and just have some laughs. We were able to give him a Book of Mormon, and we told him this book can change your life. And he was very excited about it and told us he would read it!
This week we also went to Pulpí, another small neighborhood city, and we walked around the city and chatted with a family of recent converts. They too are from Columbia and are super cool people. And, they were who I was planning on giving my painting too. So after we walked around with them, we explained how families can be together forever, and we talked about the importance of family history work, and they really liked the painting. They hung it up in their living room, and they told me the room looked brighter. I did not think my abilities in painting were that good, however, I am super happy to hear that it brings the Spirit to their home. That's what matters to me!
No reminder needed, but I hope everyone has a great 4th of July!!!
