Spanish is comin' along and so is the missionary work!!
Every day is hard but there is always a reward in every day. I'm
starting to understand the Spanish words.. BUT I don't necessarily know
what they're talking about. But hey, you got to start somewhere, right?
This week started off with us being a bit nervous. We realized that we
were down to no investigators and we had to do something about that
quick. Well, we ended up having a couple days of miracles!! We had
first lessons with several new people!! There is this one lady that we
had contacted several weeks ago in the street who is very sweet. When
we went to pass for her house, I just prayed that she would be there.
We ended up teaching here lesson 1 and she seemed so excited!! I really
felt the spirit and hope that she will continue to see us!
This
week was just the week I needed. It was filled with challenges and
also days of joy!! I love Hermana Finch so much!! We have so much fun
together. She is a perfect example of a diligent worker and is very
very knowledgeable. (I think that is a word..) I love feeling peace
when I read the scriptures and study the lessons every morning. There
is a special peace that I've felt only on my mission, being away from a
lot of worldly distractions. Although I am no where near the person I
want to be yet, I am so GRATEFUL for this opportunity to really
understand what this gospel is about and really understand how to have a
happy life!! My testimony and love for my Father in Heaven and Savior
grows every week.
I continue to try new food
every week and for anyone who knows me knows that is a miracle itself
that I am eating chicken off the bone.. But hey, more protein for me!!!
It's fun to try different things from so many different people. Spain
is filled with people who are from many different countries in South
America. We are very lucky to be able to know people from all of these
different countries!! We always say how Madrid, Spain is literally the
best mission in the world!!!
Sorry this one is
very short!!! I hope everyone is having a great month of April!!! Things
are warming up here and the sun is shining A LOT!. This week we get to
go to the Madrid Temple!! My favorite place ever. I am reading in Alma
in the Book of Mormon.. It is so awesome! I encourage you to read
chapters 5-12!!! I love that everything makes more sense to me now.
haha. I love to see the Temple, and read my scriptures.. and I am so
happy that I am at a point in my life they have a whole other meaning.
Love YOU ALL!!!!
Love, Hermana Berry (Fresa)
