Hey there all my loved ones!!
This week was really great. We are working like crazy. We had 16 lessons this week with a goal of 20. We haven hit our goal for 20 lessons yet but we keep praying and working. We will. I know we will. The mission president, President Clegg, has something planned for the whole mission this week. I am really excited for it. I won't tell you what it is yet. Stay tuned for next weeks report and I will report results as well as efforts. I know miracles will be happening this next week. It is going to be GRRRRRREAT!
This week was semana santa. Meaning holy week. so pretty much the whole town goes down to the catholic chapel. The get all dressed up kinda like the KKK and parade up and down the streets with these giant images of Christ and the virgin Mary. Wednesday, Thursday and Friday. The outfits change and the giant trundels change as the atonement of Christ progresses these three days. Saturday is called silent Saturday. Nothing goes on. Everyone is waiting for the Resurrection of Christ. Then on Sunday the last one parades through the streets. The ones on wednesday, thrusday and friday went right past our piso. Generally right as we were going to sleep. So we got to listen to the Trumpets, drums and wailing/ singing for about 45 to and hour into the night. Very interesting. I heard that the one here in Nerja is tame compared to others here in Andalucia like Málaga and Sivilla. So depending on where I am next Easter we will see how things change.
We are still trying to contact people like crazy. We contacted a few old investigators and they seem to be more open then the last time Hermana Gibson was there so we are teaching some new people for me at least. I am still struggling with Spanish. I am working hard and it seems to be getting better little by little. Mostly I am just frustrated with myself at not picking it up fast enough. I will keep studying, talking, and PRAYING because that is all I can really do. I know the Lord is with me. He helps always. Stay close to Him. I am learning little by little to rely more and more on Him. My pride has kept me from relying completely on Him but I need to remember whose arm and whose work is this really. I know as I continue to strive to put more of my trust in Him I will grow closer and more like Him and He will be able to preform more miracles. Praying for you always. Stay safe. Stay Happy.
