t-5: Longest week of my life!

Hey folks, jolines. 

This week, 26 greenies (new missionaries) got to Spain. Along with 2 senior couples. This meant that Elder Porras, the mission presidents, senior couples, office elders, and I had many things to do. Many cosas, and lots of time, but it was all worth it and it was super fun.

 After that, we had MLC with the more experienced missionaries, which was also a lot of time and preparation. We got it done. I think Elder Porras and I spent around 50 hours either in the mission office/home or out and about doing things for the mission. It made me think about missionary work. What even is missionary work? Instead of preaching and teaching the good news to investigators. We spent our time helping missionaries be able to preach and teach the good word. Interesante. Kinda like the good ole saying: give a man a fish and he eats for a day, teach a man to fish and he can eat forever. Either way, it was fun to be able to help all the other people, and I am glad to be back to a "normal schedule" this week. 

My comp is from Mexico so that's hype, he speaks really good English. This week he found out about the pronunciation of Kansas and Arkansas, it blew his mind lol. So funny.

General Conference was this last Saturday and Sunday. The whole time the prophet spoke, I felt a soft burning in my heart confirming that President Nelson really is the prophet today! He said that he doesn't know the day or hour when Jesus Christ will come again, but that he does know that the Lord is urging him to prepare us for that great and dreadful day. I am hyped to relisten to the talks this week.

Love, Elder Ditto
