Hey there! [Letter 42]

PEEPS!!!

How is everyone doing? I´m doing very well now that the temperature has gone down. Still working hard in this lovely land of Almería. Life is good. Hermana Brimhall and I definately are having fun and seeing miracles.
Let´s start with the fun:

Saturday morning we went out for our morning run. The streets were pretty much empty because only we are privledged to get up early on a Saturday morning here in Almería. Anyway as we were running up a street a young girl came into view holding on a gentleman´s arm. As we got closer, she stumbled around on her ridiculous 6 inch heels and it become obvious that she had been drinking a little to much that night/moring. But here comes the best part. As we ran past all of a sudden we heard her heel clicks pick up. I´m not joking she started to run after us giggling like crazy. She ran with us for like a minute then we rounded a cornor. Needless to say that kind of made our morning.

And Sunday we got called 30 minutes before a noche de hogar (FHE) with the ward to tell us that we had the special musical number with the elders. Welcome to the mission!! In the Spanish hymn "called to serve" the chorus reads "Listos siempre listos" meaning "ready always ready." People here take it seriously. Luckily they ended up changing up the program and they didn´t have to witness a very patchy and pitchy "Venid a Cristo" (Come unto Jesus).

and now the important stuff. Miracles:

We were priviledged to set fechas with parents of two girls that are already baptized. This family has recieved missionaries for almost 3 years. I am excited to be here to see this amazing family become even more united and watch as they take the first step to having an eternal family.

15 year old girl continuing to learn and grow in the gospel even through opposition from her family.

Less active testifying of the power of fasting to a stubborn indifferent boyfriend.

Forgetting something in piso and having to return but running into a lost recent convert on the way.

The Lord´s hand is in this work. I am blessed to see it everyday. In the smallest things the Lord has a hand in this work. My dear loved ones, count your many blessings. When you begin you will not be able to stop. With the knowledge of God and Christ in our lives we truly can say that we are the richest people in the world. Come to Him in gratitude. He can bless you even more. I love my mission. I love everyday. I love who I am becoming  I pray I am making a difference. Making the world a better place. Thank you all for you support, your love, and your prayers. Especially thank you for this opportunity. I love you all and pray that this email finds you well and happy.

With Love,

Hermana Petru
