Teaching and Learning

God works in miraculous ways. It is super fascinating. A whole bunch of miracles happened in Spain this week and what an absolute privilege it is to watch and be a small part of the work of God. 

Hit up Pamplona this week on an exchange and saw the stadium where the running of the bulls ends.

Typical Spaniard door

There is a couple named Victor Hugo and Annie who live in a little house set up inside of a semi-truck garage in Zarautz. They are immigrants from Guatemala and have not attended church for about 2 years. God sent us to them on Thursday night. Annie shared with us through her tears how grateful she was for this demonstration that God still cared about her as she shared that missionaries usually meet with amigos and non-members, but how God still cares about her even though she is already a member of the church. The spirit was so strong in that lesson and I learned that Victor Hugo and Annie probably have more faith than I do. They are so awesome. 

Alma 17:9 "...they fasted and prayed much that the Lord would grant unto them a portion of his Spirit to go with them and abide with them, that they might be an instrument in the hands of God to bring, if it were possible, their brethren, the _________ to the knowledge of the truth."

My absolute G of a cousin, George.ditto@missionary.org started his mission today. God just acquired another prime instrument in His orchestra.

Jose Maria is feeling really happy with his decision to be baptized on the 30th of this month.

We put Claudia on date for baptism! She feels the peacefulness of the Spirit really strong when she prays.

Baliadas after a blessed lesson of 9 amigos with Elder Anderson.  A baleada is a traditional Central American dish, believed to have originated on the northern coast of Honduras. It is composed of a flour tortilla, filled with a smear of mashed "refried" red beans, crema, and crumbled queso duro.

Quick update on the language: I can understand almost everything, the rules and grammar mess me up when speaking. Level of a 6-year-old probs 

Life has many ups and downs. I cannot say that I am the best at handling the downs, so to fix that this week I am going to have more trust in the Lord, be more obedient, and smile more.

I learned how to pray in Euskera last week:

Aita zeruko maitea. Eskerrik asko egun honengatik eta nire familiarengatik. Mesedez lagundu iezaguzu Espiritu Santua sentitzen. Jesukristoren izenean amen.

I actually cooked something that was good.  It was a mixture of potatoes, noodles, ham, corn, and cream.  It took forever to cook, though.

Os quiero!
