Hello everyone!
This has pretty much been the greatest week EVER!...not unlike all the
other weeks but this one was especially great.
One great thing was that we had a mini missionary for the week and he
was the best! He had just come from a church youth camp and so he was
so excited and ready to work. He really helped remind us of how
exciting missionary work should be! He was always energetic and asking
what we were going to do next. One time we were on the bus, I started
talking to someone, my companion started talking to someone else, and
so instead of joining with one of the conversations he just looked
over and started talking to the guy next to him. He was great.
The highlight of the week was one of our investigators who I met my
second day here in Sevilla deciding to be baptized. The week was full
of difficulties, people coming out of nowhere to tell her not to and
other unforeseen issues, but at the end we were able to have one of
the greatest baptismal services ever!
I seriously don't know if I could ever be happier! I am so happy for
every single thing that has happened in my time here because I know
that if I wouldn't have had the difficult times I could not have
appreciated so much these moments of joy. When I think about why God
allows us to have trials, I think of all of the times in the
scriptures that the people were highly blessed and then fell into
iniquity. Without the constant reminders of trials and tests in our
lives, we would forget so quickly of the dependence we have on God. I
guess we could all be a little more grateful for the trials in our
lives.
Well, I hope you all have a great week!
Love,
