October 7, 2024: The Spaniard was Baptized!

 Hola Feliz Lunes!! 


Thank you for all your prayers and support! This week was full of blessings; we almost couldn't handle them all at once! Jose had the most beautiful baptism and we are so proud of him! A little background on Jose, he is from Sabadell and these last two weeks he has been super sick! So sick that he has been in and out of the hospital! But he persisted, he was so excited for his baptism and was willing to do anything to be able to be baptized! He had his bautismal interview in his hospital room and a miraculous three days later he was able to be baptized! He is such an example to me of doing all for the Lord! 

We invited our amigo Esteban who is also from Spain to see what a baptism is all about! We'll he loved it, he loved it so much that he pulled us aside after the program and asked when he would be baptized! Without hesitation we fixed a date for October 12th! God is just so good and the blessings are coming all at once! 

Then I was blessed with a General Conference which is like Christmas for me on the mission! It was the exact words that I needed to hear and filled me with so much joy and excitement for the future! I loved the overwhelming theme of JOY and TRUST! I have had the privilege of welcoming many amazing people here in Spain to the Church of Joy! That is truly what it is! My life has been filled with Joy due to Jesus Christ and His Gospel! Know that I love you all, keep learning, keep striving! You've got this because Jesus has got you!

November 25, 2024: My Heart if Full

Image
  Well this is it, my last mission email!! Time has flown by. I can't believe my mission is coming to an end this week!  I don't want to make this too long but I just want to write a few words of gratitude! Over these 18 months I have truly been changed! I have seen miracles happen every single day and through the Lord and his work I have been so blessed! I have loved every minute of meeting people from all over the world in Salt Lake City and Barcelona Spain! My mission means everything to me and the people that I have met have changed me!  Most importantly I have come to know my Savior Jesus Christ! I know he lives, he loves us! Everything that he did was for us and the immense love he has! He is my greatest example and my best friend! I know he has walked with me through every phase of my mission! I want to be better because of him but more often than not he has been there to pick me up when I fall!  I love my Heavenly Father and truly have felt his love for me on...

November 4, 2024: Prayers for Valencia

Image
  Hola!!! These past two weeks have been crazy! There has been major flooding in Valencia and in Catarroja which was my first area here in Spain! My heart goes out to all of the people that I know and love!! Please pray for the sweet people of Valencia they need your prayers! The work here in Sabadell has been pretty normal besides all the rain which leads to plenty of canceled lessons but we are still going strong!  We have found a few new families in our area and they are progressing so well! First is Precious and here two boys! They are from Nigeria and we get to teach this sweet family in English which is quite a change for me! The first time we met with this sweet family we taught 3 Nefi 11 and they loved it! Precious started tearing up as she shared who Jesucristo was to her! One of her little boys was listening to the lesson with wide eyes fully engaged! I showed him a small painted card of Christ coming to the Americas to show him that Christ is our resurrected Savior!...
