Hello Loved Ones! [Letter 19 - Nerja]

Hello Loved Ones!!

This week has been good. Working really hard. I haven't been this sore since the start of my mission. Hermana Gibson and I have been running for pueblo to pueblo teaching and contacting with all our heart. There hasn't been an huge miracle but everyday there is a beam of light in the dark. It is these moments that light up the whole sky. It is kind of like a lightening storm. That brilliant flash of light lights up the whole sky only for a second but its enough to make it to the next place. I am learning so much about my Savior and the love He has. I am so grateful for this opportunity to learn and to grow. Doctrine and Covenants 18:10-13 has new meaning.

This week we had what is called a "cosecha."  Everyone in the my zone came, some traveling for like 2-3 hours. We gathered here in Nerja and surrounding pueblos and we contacted in the streets for about 2 hours. They found 28 people for us to follow up with. We taught one of them already. She is awesome. She is willing to experiment on the word. It is exciting to see. The energy that some of the elders have is amazing. I have no idea where they get it all sometimes. It was really fun. I am really looking forward to zone conference this next week. :)

It was great to talk to everyone yesterday. Smile. Keep growing. I look forward to hearing for you. Look to the Lord in all you do and He will guide you.
Love you all,

Hermana Petru

Pictures:
1- Elders Crespo and Velasco Elder Velasco is my district leader. Elder Crespo was transfered last transfer but he was really cool and a great missionary.

2-Hermana Gibson, yo, and Elder Velasco. This was at the Balcon de Europa. Very beautiful. As you can see it was very very windy that day.

3- Hermana Gibson and the infamous bus schedule that pretty much runs our lives right now.

4- Oh the entertainment we find. A very nice friend of Hermana  Gibson sent us some easy cheese along with other fun American foods. This is what happens at the end of a long planning session.

5- Spanish Churros and chocolate. Churros are different everywhere you go even here in Spain. One place makes them differently then another place and they could be right next to each other. The most important part and the only part that is the same everywhere is that they are deep fried.

6- So I'm not sure what the story is behind this but it is a very Spanish thing to eat churros and chocolate. They only serve it in the morning. But it is really good. Hermana Gibson has a tradition of sharing churros and chocolate with everyone of her companions. Last week we finally had a chance to do it.
