SO sorry we're so behind, folks. Getting all caught up today.

WELL HELLO EVERYBODY!!
This has been quite the productive week I have ever had in my life. We walk everywhere. My shoes are amazing (thank you mom!). We work a lot. Study a lot and then work a lot again. I have one of the best companions in the world. She is very very patient with me. And is very encouraging about my Spanish. I learn so much from her and I seriously couldn't have asked for better. The Lord truly knows us.
This week we mainly went to contact people. Try to get the working moving again after the absence of the missionaries in the area (Hermana Gibson pretty much stayed with sisters in Málaga until I came) so we have contacting old investigators and contacting new ones. We have a couple of new investigators that I am really excited for. One of them is from Germany but has lived here for 12 years so she speaks amazing Spanish but she had fun talking to me in German. I am a little rusty but it seems to come back when I need it. One of our less recent investigators really wants to be baptized but she is having a hard time because of her work schedule. We have been praying and fasting for the Lord to help her and us know how we can help and give her the opportunity to be an active member in His church. I love the people here. I am not great at the language but all of the members are very patient with me and listen and help when I am talking to them. I have been talking more in lessons and trying to bear a semi understandable testimony of the things we teach.
Talking of members!! Our branch mission leader is from England! So cool how many different cultures come together. Anyway, he is very nice along with his wife. They are very helpful and supportive. We help each other with our Spanish. Their accents are so COOL!! If I stay here to long I might come home with one as well as Spanish. LOL
Thank you everyone for your great prayers. I know that parts of the day only happen because of your great faith. Know that I know this church is true. I can feel the power of it every time I recited the first vision or tell someone the Book of Mormon is true or that there is a prophet today in the earth. THIS CHURCH IS TRUE. I can't say it any other way. When we talk with people on the street and they say that they don't believe in God or that He loves us. My heart breaks. I pray for them and I know God with watch out for them. He watches out for you too. :) Know that you are all in my prayers. Be kind to one another and PRAY ALWAYS (Alma 34:18-27)
Love Hermana Petru
