The mission is so awesome, because it is full of miracles, and we saw one awesome this week! This past week, we had a guy who I had never met just show up at church. He lives kinda close to the capilla, and took a route that went around the church to go to his job. But, one day this past week, he felt prompted to not take the normal route, taking him right in front of the capilla. He said that as he did so, he felt something he hadn't ever felt, and he could just tell it was something good. Luckily, some members of the Bishopric were at the capilla for some meetings, and he was able to go in the capilla, and meet some of these members. And that is how he came to church. He stayed for 2 hours, and honestly loved it. We got to know him, and immediately set a cita to get to know each other, and start teaching him. Just a few days later, we met in the capilla to do just that, and we had a great cita. The Spirit was SO strong in this cita as we listened to him and his tough current life situations. We talked about faith, about God, and he easily accepted the Book of Mormon. My companion and I were on the same frequency that day, because I had felt a strong impression to set a baptism date with this guy, and my companion felt the same exact thing. There was a time, I swear we just looked at each other, knew exactly what we were thinking, nodded our heads, and we asked him if he wanted to follow the example of Jesus Christ by setting a goal to be baptized. Without hesitation, he accepted. And you will never guess what day!! July 4th!!!! The BEST day of the year! I thought it was pretty awesome that we invited him to be baptized that day, because it is a great day hahaha. So super awesome experience we had with him this week, and we are super excited to keep meeting with him.
We also had transfers this week, and I have a new companion, Elder Villamizar! He is from Venezuela, But not too long ago he and his family moved here to Spain. He is a super awesome guy, and we get along really well! We also teach super well together just from this cita we had haha, it is going to be a fun transfer.
Another miracle is that starting June 26th, masks are no longer obligatory in outside places!! Now for all of you Americans, that's probably pretty pathetic, but in Spain we call it a MILAGRO! Better days are makin their way to the land of Spain! Pues, esperamos jaja.
Until next week!
