Madrid [Letter 9 - Spain MTC]

Hello there everyone!!
So I made it here safely. The flight was forever long and oh my gosh I am so so so tired! They haven´t given us any time to sleep yet but we get to sleep at seven tonight. Pretty sure that won´t be a problem because I didn´t get any sleep on the plane. Spain is beautiful. I haven´t been able to take any pictures because we are only allowed to take pictures on preparation day which will be on saturday!! but probably won´t be many pictures that day because I won´t have a lot to share. But on preparation day we are allowed to take the metro into Madrid and go site seeing and stuff. I am so excited!! So I will take pictures this Saturday and send them next most likely. I won´t forget about you. I will see if I can send some pictures on saturday of the provo MTC. I am almost positive that I can on this computer where I couldn´t on the ones in the Provo MTC. Here we have so much freedom. We aren´t inside a campus all day long. The physical activity can take place on a city track which is across the street or on the football pitches down the way. Our shopping is done at one of two little markets that are very close. We go contacting at the city park once or twice a week also. The spanish here is so beautiful. The theta is amazing I can´t wait to learn it. I apologize for scattered thoughts. I haven´t slept but I wanted you all to know that I am safe here in Spain. It is so beautiful I can´t wait to share it with you throug pictures and experiences.

Next!!! ELDER HOLLAND came and spoke with us on tuesday night (holy that was two days ago). He is always so powerful and bold. I love it so much!! He really laid into us about honoring the missionary work that has gone before. My favorite quote was "we expect Super human qualites and we don´t apologize." The expect so much and when you know that you can´t do it anymore you fall to your knees and plead with the Lord to make up for you short comings, beg for forgiveness for falling asleep in class or not sharing the spiritual promptings to go to bed with wet cheeks and get up and do it again in the morning promising the Lord to be better and beseeching for that extra spiritual strength to become what He needs you to be. To have the strength to walk through the refiners fire steadfastly day by day. His talk was so inspiring and I got to leave on such a high note. It was great! Oh is was so great. I know that he is an apostle of God. I know that this is the Church of Jesus Christ. I know that I am strengthed by God day by day if I give my whole heart to His purpose and will. Thank you all for you great faith and support.


Love Hermana Petru
