Miracles

 It was a pretty fun week. Friends are going good not anything too crazy happened this week. Jessica is still progressing, really wants to do the baptism but has to make it to church still so please pray for her.

Cool miracle- Called the Hermanas that work the American base here in rota. They were going crazy. Apparently what had happened was 5 seconds before they received a text of a guy who said he has been a friend of the church for years and wants to be baptized but only has a couple weeks before he gets deployed again. So then during the call they texted him a date to do it and he said yes. Pretty crazy. God’s work is growing like crazy.
I mean we are going to need it because the new goal of the mission just came out last year was 365 one for every day of the year. and now this year we are going to get 572. People are crazy in that meeting, but it's okay i love it, just means more work, and if i stop being lazy maybe some miracles too.

Man I love this gospel, this way too fun. Sneak peak into next week I'm going on a exchange with my cousin. Like come on I'm freaking spoiled here. All jokes aside super excited for this year and for all the trials and triumphs that will come.

So had been praying a lot about how to help our area and some of the others and felt prompted to share the talk, “after the fourth day” (such an amazing talk) didn't really give a second thought to it but then we get to district counsel and elder Pavon stands up and tells us his grandma had suddenly passed away and right in that moment he received that talk(the talk talks about Lazarus being risen from the dead by the savior) Oh in that moment i felt a little of everything, sadness for him, guilt for sending him that talk, but also felt the spirit. Really didn't understand why i didn't feel more guilty in that moment, but then i realized its because I had followed the spirit, now i just needed to continue to have faith. Well elder Pavon and his comp elder Villa continued to share the blessing that talk was for them, to bless them with peace. Elder Pavon stood and told us how now he can trust in Gods plan and his power. Really changed my life in that moment and taught me so much. Sorry i probably described that terribly but i love that elder and the example he is for me. Prayers for him and his family.

Love y'all!
