Sheesh

Cool milagro. We got back into contact with an amigo who was ghosting us and had a call and lesson with him. I invited him that night to pray and then open his Book of Mormon to a random page and start reading. We have a baptismal date for Marzo 8. 

He did it and he "randomly" opened up to 4 Nephi 1:1. 

"And it came to pass that the thirty and fourth year passed away, and also the thirty and fifth, and behold the disciples of Jesus had formed a church of Christ in all the lands round about. And as many as did come unto them, and did truly repent of their sins, were baptized in the name of Jesus; and they did also receive the Holy Ghost." 

Fire. He is hyped to get baptized.

Four new misioneros got here this week. Elder Gomez and I went on the Madrid tour with them along with President and Hermana Eastland. The King of Spain and the King or Pharaoh (whatever they have rn) were in the royal palace so there were guards out and about. 

This transfer is gonna be wild, we are going to be zooming around Spain while trying to go crazy in the obra de dios. Please pray for the ppl here and us so that we can do what needs to get done.

Sheesh boi I've been a missionary for so long, pls send email to me.

Love, Elder Ditto

Muchas Cosas

Hola chavales

This was a packed week! 

I am working on punctuality, any tips?

Tuesday- exchange with Elder Irineo, good stuff, he's from Mexico

Wednesday- had a fire lesson with Nair, God loves His children!

Thursday- Futbol with a recent convert and his cousin, we played 8 on 8 on a turf field. It was super sick, I didn't play that well but I did score a goal. The opposing team was very good, they were a whole bunch of Spaniards and a Frenchman. After we zoomed over to the capilla and taught Genesis and her sister Mafer. They are currently having a hard life, pray for them! 

Friday- we zoomed over to the mission office to help the office elders buy tickets for transfers, lots of dinero. Afterward, we went to Tony Romas (a restaurant) for lunch. Turns out one of the office Elder's recent converts works there and is a less active member as well! It was sick! 

Saturday- Transfer calls, I am finishing my mission in this area in Madrid, Barrio 1. We zoomed over to the futbol sala court in between calls we were in charge of and taught our friend Armoush. He's from Jordan, the country! shoutout Abdullah. He has a lot of great questions about Jesus Christ. 

Sunday- Elder Gomez and I taught a Gospel Principles class in the second hour of church about Heavenly Father. It was pretty good for it being the first week. The idea is that it helps Recent Converts and Investigators more than the normal class. That night we drove to Presidentes house to plan MLC. The best part is that our amigo Jhon responded to us after 2 weeks of ghosting us. Vamos a ver que pasa con él.

Took like 0 pictures last week, I will try better this week

Two scriptures I used a few times this week:

Alma 36: 3 "And now, O my son Helaman, behold, thou art in thy youth, and therefore, I beseech of thee that thou wilt hear my words and learn of me; for I do know that whosoever shall put their trust in God shall be supported in their trials, and their troubles, and their afflictions, and shall be lifted up at the last day."

Ether 12: 41 "And now, I would commend you to seek this Jesus of whom the prophets and apostles have written, that the grace of God the Father, and also the Lord Jesus Christ, and the Holy Ghost, which beareth record of them, may be and abide in you forever. Amen."

We played volleyball today

Hola hombres! 

This week we started out in Vitoria on an exchange. It was lit to be back in the hometown, Pais Vasco. 

We had a call with the mission about the baptisms and confirmations that have happened in January.  I think it was a good way to unify the mission a little and celebrate the hijos de Dios that have made a covenant with God! 

We zoomed back to Madrid and had some más o menos normal days. 

Towards the end of the week we started working on the transfer board and had a meeting with Presidente and Hermana Eastland then another call with some of the missionaries. 

Lots of cool and fun things, but at the same time I am hoping and praying for some milagros in the missionary work this week, which is going to be equally loco. 

This week I finished the book Believing Christ. It was super fire.

Love, Elder Ditto

Kaixo

Hey fam,

Today we got to go to my casa, Pais Vasco. It had been too long. I'm glad to be back, but just for two days. 

I also got "My Plan" so I guess that means I am on the last part of my mission. Vamos a terminar bien.

This week Alba got baptized by her dad. Her dad and mom were inactive for a few years and after many calls, lessons, and prayers, they are living the gospel, which is amazing to see. It was actually so special to see her dad teach her and testify during the lessons. Now we gotta get them to the temple.

On Saturday I was able to give a priesthood blessing to an old lady (97 years old). We often went to her house to administer the sacrament to her. She was ingressed in the hospital and not looking too hot. During the blessing, I felt most impressed to bless her with peace and an assurance that she had fought the good fight and endured to the end. As I gave the blessing my whole body was warm. She passed away today. Even though during the blessing I didn't feel incredibly guided or see any vision or anything, I know that somehow the Spirit made sure the right things were expressed. And also I know that she is doing much better in the Spirit World than she was here. And one day she will be resurrected thanks to her Savior Jesus Christ! Buenas semana:)

Agur
