Wow...(get ready for your weekly update of Sevilla weather).. I did
not know that it was possible for it to rain so much! It rained from
Sunday to Saturday only stopping enough every day at 4:55 pm, just
enough to convince us not to bring our umbrellas, before it started
again at 5:05. It was pretty miserable, but at least it will make us
thankful for the heat that is going to hit us this next week.
Highlight of this week was definitely learning how to make Fufu, which
is the flour/water mixture that they use in Africa to eat with. It's a
great substitute for forks and spoons! You can just use your hands,
grab the fufu, dip it in the sauce, and enjoy! Surely my future kids
are going to love weekly "Friday Fufu night" :)
It's so important in missionary work that we are guided by the spirit;
however, I always expected that that guidance would come similar to
gps "turn left here, now take a right, first exit in the roundabout".
I'm slowly learning that we just need to walk by faith and trust that
the guidance is there, and only after will we realize we are being
guided. Last week, we were just walking down the street and we saw a
lady who was throwing stuff away in the garbage (I have a niche for
finding people around trash cans) and we offered our help and then
asked if we could pass by another day. When we finally got to her
home, she told us that she was returning from a trip to her country,
where she arrived just in time to say her last words to her father.
She has been investigating various churches for quite some time now,
but in this special time of need we just happened to "show up" and
were able to testify of God's plan as it has been revealed by prophets
and in the scriptures. I knew that we had been led to her doorstep,
which give me confidence that even in the moments of rejection and
doubt, we are still being guided by Gods hand.
I hope that you all have a great week!
Love,
elder Jenkins
