'ello loves!
Ventured out to Manacor today with the Zone. :) Another city here on Mallorca and hiked up to an abandoned Cathedral, ate some sandwiches, enjoyed the sun and played a few minutes of kickball. It was a great time!
Jesus is doing so great! Growing more and more everyday, and his testimony is giving the branch some much needed animo about missionary work! He recieved the Aaronic Priesthood yesterday and was ordained a priest. He is so excited and is introducing us to someone to teach tonight! Leo also got the Aaronic Priesthood before church and was able to pass the sacrament. It was so cute and just filled my heart with joy. He had a big smile on his face and I made sure to thank him and help him know just how grateful I am for the priesthood that makes it possible for me to partake of the sacrament.
Zone Conference this week was excellent. Our zone is so unified. And it definitely helps that most of us stuck around with our companions the last transfer. We are definitely seeing the fruits of our labor and our unity as a Zone. The work is even more fun with the support of a team. I also learned a few key details I am working on changing and repenting of so I can really use every minute and truly become one with my companion.
We are starting a "Inundir la isla con El Libro de Mormon" program with the branch and we taught relief society yesterday and everyone got so excited to share the Book of Mormon and the challenge to read 5 minutes for 5 days. Miracles are coming!
A few of this weeks miracles!
Yesterday, our one and only cita in the evening was asleep when we got there and the dad turned us away, but we found 3 more very prepared people in that building then the spirit continued to guide us to call a family we found months ago, and we were able to meet with Maria and her 2 nephews Jose Luis and Aron (9 and 10 year olds) that were so excited about the gospel and had incredibly mature and inspired questions. When their mom walked in, they jumped up and ran over asking if they could be baptized! It made me even MORE excited about the gospel! All three of them are working towards the 19th of May.
Now I don't know how much I talked about David, but he is dating a member and was about to get baptized in December but all but ran from the church. Well 2 weeks ago, we get a call from him begging for our help with a sincere desire to know for himself, he asked if we could begin meeting again but in secret. Now in all my time here, he would never say the prayer, but as guided by the spirit Hermana Garcia and I were finally able to help him overcome that obstacle and HE PRAYED!!! It was so refreshing, and he texts us everyday and is really working to find his answer.
I studied Elder Bednar's talk on meekness and it just refueled the desire I have to just turn everything over and let all my faults be changed by Christ. It is so hard, but I have really been putting my effort to changing the little things that make all the difference.
I love my companion! I know Hermana Garcia and I are going to be friends forever! The work is even more fun when you are working with your best friend!
I know this is His work and it sure is the greatest to be on His errand!
I love you all! Thank you for your love and support!
Have the best week!
