Hello from PALMA DE MALLORCA

With transfers and everything, I don't have too much time to write, but I've been transferred to the beautiful island of Mallorca and I am the new and only sister training leader for the islands. And I get to serve with my MTC companion, Hermana Gratzl!! I'm excited. (My trainer just went home and I'm actually just filling her spot! Crazy!

It was hard to say goodbye to Barc and more so the people and Hermana Ney. I really felt so at home here in Barc. My setting apart blessing actually talked about how I'd feel at home walking the streets of Barcelona and that was fulfilled 10 fold. I just love everyone I've have had the pleasure to meet here. 

Gustavo is doing so great. It was hard to say goodbye to him. He was so sad. He just told me about how happy he is to have found the church. He talked about how without Christ we are empty. He still is feasting upon the scriptures and has his sight set on the temple!

Carolina came to church and got up in fast and testimony meeting and talked about how grateful she is for having met the missionaries and the church and the peace that we and the members transmit. Yesterday, it was hard to say goodbye, but I left with pure joy in my heart because she told us how she is listening and relistening to the Book of Mormon and she was talking about all the blessings she has seen from it. Her heart is softening and it is the most beautiful thing to see. 

I don't have much time, but I love you all!! 
Have the best week! And I challenge you all to look everyday for someone who needs a smile and help them out. 
XOXO
