Long time no see!! Here in Zaragoza, it has been a very busy couple of weeks, but a very fun couple of weeks. Just this past weekend I produced 10 different videos! It has been insane! They were mostly Why I believe videos for the missionaries that were going home this week, and I am just glad that I was able to put their testimonies and experiences into a video that can be easily shared with people. So much fun!
Another very fun thing from this past week was we went back to my tierra of PAIS VASCO!! Basque Country!! Being the Social Media Specialists, we took the opportunity to travel the mission a little bit, and how could I skip the North?? We went up to Bilbao and did a little Zone Conference, Social Media edition, with the missionaries up there. We gave some training, helped the missionaries with some new tools, and took some missionaries out with our camera equipment to take some photos and videos to be used for the pages. It was SO AWESOME going back to Bilbao! It was kind of weird going back, as we arrived, and I knew exactly where we were, and exactly where to go, although I didn't live there anymore. Just weird vibes, but I even met up with some of my member friends, and we made a little video with them too! So it was a day full of big dubs! The next day, we went to San Sebastian, rated as one of the most beautiful cities in Europe, and we did intercambios with the Zone Leaders there, and did online finding with them, and discussed the social media needs of the zone. It also happened that my friend Elder Ireland was there, so it was great to see him, and we also filmed a music video on La Concha, San Sebastian´s very famous beach. Just from what I saw on the camera, it was looking very good, so I am super excited to edit that video! But it was a really awesome few days, and although it was tons of fun going back to an old area, we did get work done, and we were very productive, and I am very happy with the content that we got. Now I am just hoping that I can convince President to let us do the same thing in Mallorca😂🤞
Amidst the very stressful and busy life I live, I have found the importance of getting on my knees and praying, Just as I have stated before, the power of prayer is an amazing thing. I love the quote by Gordon B. Hinckley that says, "If life gets too hard to stand, kneel." I love that! If you also feel that life is too hard to stand, I invite you to kneel and pray. There is a loving Heavenly Father up there who will listen to you, and if you pray fervently, you will feel His love.
Until next week!
