  This week we proved the fact that the best way to spread Christmas cheer is singing loud for all to hear! I have never sung Christmas hymns more in my life! The streets of Catarroja are starting to warm up to the crazy sister missionaries that sing wherever they go just spreading the Christmas cheer!  We had our Stake Christmas party this Saturday and all the ward choirs around Valencia gathered in the Stake center to sing! And of course the missionaries were asked to sing as well! It was such an amazing program and so many of our amigos came!!  Sunday night we went to a park to go do some street contacting. When we arrived there was a Christmas festival in the middle of the park! We had our whiteboard with the question “que significa la navidad” so it was perfect! God knew exactly what we needed to do to find some new people! We put out the whiteboard and began to sing some hymns! We met so many people and talked about the Joy of Navidad! It was magical to see how much...

  Hola :)) I hope you all had such an amazing week! The work here was slower this week mainly because Spain had a few days of Festivos. The streets were pretty empty and a lot of people were traveling but we definitely had a few milagros!!  First and foremost was Conferencia de Zona and we had a member of the Seventy, Elder Alliaud come and speak and he was incredible! He spoke in the October 2019 General Conference about the Power of the Book of Mormon and it was powerful! We talked a lot about how to teach with the Spirit and use the Power that is found in the Book of Mormon! I learned so much and received so many answers to better my teaching here in Spain!  Our amigos amaze me everyday with their faith and love of this Gospel! Hugo and Glenda are praying about a fecha de bautismo!!! They are an incredible couple and are so ready to take this first step on the covenant path! Please continue to pray for them and the growth of their testimonies :)  We had a huge mil...

  Hola :)) This week has been beyond busy but that is exactly what we want as missionaries! Last Monday we started the week off with an incredible lesson with three new amigos!! Glenda, Hugo, and Christopher have been coming to church the past two weeks and they wanted to learn more about our gospel! We had a member from our ward come and share their testimony about the Book of Mormon and the Spirit was incredibly strong! The members here are incredible and are so devoted to missionary work!  Maria is my favorite person literally ever she has the strongest spirit and such a desire to learn more! Saturday we taught her and her two children El Plan de Salvación and she LOVED IT! She told us that for two weeks she was praying for answers because she felt so lost. Then Hermana Peterson and I showed up at her doorstep to teach her and she just knew that God is aware of her! We were able to give her a Book of Mormon with our testimonies written inside and she was overjoyed! This boo...

  Hola Hola!!! Happy late Día de Acción de Gracias!! I am so very grateful for you all!! And for those of you in the states I hope you ate a ton of turkey and rolls for me🥹 We met with our Zona in Valencia and they tired to make it feel like a normal Thanksgiving by giving us Chicken and letting us watch the 2022 Macy's Day Parade (it's the thought that counts ♡)  We had a few friends that are progressing super well and it's amazing to see how busy we are each day running from train to metro to train to make our lessons! We are teaching Allany her Husband and their adorable 5 month old baby. They speak Portuguese and recently came from Brazil, but thankfully they can understand some Spanish. My companion and I have taught them the Plan of Salvation to this sweet family and they loved it!! Maria is also progressing so well and we were able to meet with her twice this week! She has the strongest spirit I have ever seen! She is searching for the truth and so excited to read t...
