Skating Barcelona

Side note: I've been told my English is deteriorating so..we'll see how this goes haha

Well this week was just the best!!!! After being sick for a week (me and my companion were dying), we finally met with all the people that we were going to see the week before! So we actually ended up meeting with 9 people for the first time this week. Which is a lot. And a lot of teaching about the Book of Mormon and Joseph Smith which is my favorite topic!!!!! 

Probably the best part of the whole this was what happened on Thursday. So our mission president put out this idea of having every district in the mission do a fast together and report back the miracles we see. So from Thursday to Friday we fasted as a district and we saw such a miracle!!!!
So. We went to pass by someone who we had been trying to be in contact with for forever and just had never been able to find her and then our texts stopped going through and everything. We just could not get in contact with her. So we go to her apartment and GUESS WHO WALKS UP RIGHT AS WE RING THE TIMBRE!!!!!!!! Her!!!!!! And her friend!!!!!! AND THEY INVITED US IN!!!!!!!! And we taught about the restoration and they both accepted our invitation to be baptized!!!! It was a miracle. God put is there at the exact time that they'd be arriving home and allowed His spirit to be present in the lesson so they'd have desires to act. I love it. Love love love it. 

Also today was just the most fun ever. We rented roller blades and went roller blading along the coast of Barcelona! The weather was BEAUTIFUL and it was really just the most fun time ever. Also I bought a Barce jersey from streetside African friends. After bartering we got it down to 18 euros. Not bad not bad. ALSO we went to this place called arc de triomf which was fun and pretty and next to a beautiful park. I love Barcelona this is just the greatest place ever.

Also I've been reading a lot of talks lately from the 70s and the 80s of the apostles and prophets back then and it's actually been really interesting. I love seeing how family has always been the focus of God's church. It's SO TRUE that if we do Family Home Evening (ask your local Mormon more about what it is-basically it's a weekly family meeting where you learn together about the gospel) weekly and read the scriptures and pray as a family daily we will stay strong together and no one will be lost!!!!!! It's true! It makes sense! It works!!!! 

So life is good. The mission is the best. I'm excited that it's almost spring haha. Yay happy times!!!!!!

Love you all!
Love,
