This week on Blessings of a Mission...[Letter 53]
Well it has been another wonderful week here on the mission. The sun is always shinning here, Literally. For the past couple of days it has been a balmy 60 degrees with mostly clear skies. Spain is beautiful. I seriously got the luck of the draw. Also there was another baptism this week. The family from Equador, I´m pretty sure I´ve told you about them, had a wonderful event. Their kids were baptized by their dad. YAY!!! and they have plans to be sealed as a family in April. The Spirit was so strong. I love baptisms. They just mean so much. I keep studying the gospel of Christ which encludes baptism and I seriously learn some new or my testimony grows of a certain principle everytime. Life is such a blessing. The progress we make here can last for eternity. Man what a week. Also we had some great moments knocking doors. Knocking doors is kind of like a box of chocolates you never know what you are going to get. Sometimes its the old lady that just wants company so she sits and talks and listens to you, or its the young man that is an athiest but thinks your cute so gives you a number, or it could be the middle aged woman that tells you she is an Roman Catholic as she slams the door in your face. That is just a few of the wonderful flavors. There is also the family that lets you in and is ready for the gospel. They listen and pray, read and come to church. They make those changes in their lives and they see the fruits of a Christ centered life. It truly is amazing. Christ really can take anything and turn it into flawless gold. I love this opportuinty to learn and grow. Moments may seem unbearable but at the end of the day I wouldn´t change it for anything. I love you guys. Hope your new year starts out right.
Love,
Hermana Petru
