God Has It All Planned Out

Hola amigos. 

I am now serving in a little jam-packed city called Alcorcon. It is also in Madrid, like my last area but on the west side. I have been here for about a week and it seems super good. 

I am serving in a "branch" (the name for the group of members in the church here, there are like 70 that come on Sundays) and the Branch President seems mad helpful and the Counselor and Secretary gave us a member list so facilmente it was actually a milagro. So the branch is lit fr.

Fun facts:

☺ the Alcorcon soccer team is sponsored by Kappa

☺ my comp is actually so good a the piano, when he plays songs his fingers go so fast and tickle so many keys it looks like a lizard is running around the ivories

☺worth the read -- We went to the temple on Thursday and as we were approaching I was thinking about the one time like 4 months ago I was at the temple and the Pamplona ward happened to be there the same day and got to see Maryori and Luana. Insane miracle btw. And then as I was thinking about that I heard "Ditto!!" So I looked yonder and saw MARYORI??!?! Ya fr, she was on vacation from Pamplona in Madrid and was walking next to the temple right as we got there, insane, so we took a pic and she facetimed Betzabeth and Luana, and we talked for a sec, idk how that all worked out but it was so awesome, god is insanely good.

Elder Farnsworth and I are different from each other and that's chill tbh, we both rlly want to become insane misisoneros, like Alma and Amulek or like Paul and someone else lol. so we are trying to change the way we do "missionary work" in any more effective way we can. Just trying to work hard every day and do things that really help the Lord's work. At the end of the day, I know that it comes down to following the spirit and finding the one elect person who God has been preparing. Are we having a mid-mission crisis? lol

Doctrine and Covenants 64: 33-34

"Wherefore, be not weary in well-doing, for ye are laying the foundation of a great work. And out of small things proceedeth that which is great.

 Behold, the Lord requireth the heart and a willing mind; and the willing and obedient shall eat the good of the land of Zion in these last days"

This scripture helped me a lot. If I desire to help and focus on this work the Lord is able to magnify my efforts and it'll all be ok. Idk how He does it, but he did it again. I am grateful for my Heavenly Father and my Savior's love for me. 

Classical music is lowkey fire, it makes me feel smart. if you send me an email I wont be mad.

Love, 

Elder Ditto
