September 30, 2024: Picnic on Temple Grounds

 Hola mi gente!!! 


Another beautiful week down here in Sabadell and it truly was such a blessed week! Not too many new updates about the area, all our amigos and doing so well! We are planning Jose's baptism for this Saturday 🌊 so please keep praying for him!

We got to do service at the dog shelter and dogs make my heart so happy so it was quite a joyful week! We had a lot of lessons and work to do this week and my compañera and I both got a little sick but that didn't keep us from working!! 

Now comes one of the most special days I have had on my mission! We went with a few members and amigos from our ward to the Barcelona temple site in Sant Cugat! It was such a sacred experience to feel the spirit in this location and have a picnic together! Even though the temple will not be built for a few years I could honestly feel so much peace on this beautiful site! 

As a mission we have been praying and fasting for the papers and plans for the temple construction to begin! I truly can testify of the power of temples! They are truly a piece of heaven on Earth! As a missionary I have not been able to go to the temple very often but I have such a love for these sacred temple grounds! So this Saturday was such a special experience to spend with my favorite ward family in Sabadell! 

Love you all so much! Have a great week and keep praying for the Barcelona Temple 🫶

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!...
