SPRING! [Letter 59]

ello Family and Friends,

Well I think it is offically spring here in Spain. We jumped from the 40´s to the mid 50´s and some days 60´s. The weather here is awesome. With that means that there are alot more people in the streets and a lot more people to talk to and get to know. We have been working hard and seeing miracles through obedience and faith. That is nothing like a good hard day of work. Also we had the great blessing to have a baptism this week. The church is growing in Spain. It is wonderful to see and participate in. On Sunday also the missionaries were given the chance to talk in Sacrament meeting. Our ward mission leader asked that we share miracles. I of course cried but it was wonderful because I got to spend the whole week thinking about all the wonderful things I have seen in my mission. I would like to share some of them with you again. I know most of you have heard these but its always good to share.

Miracle: After a moring of prayer and study my companion and I decided that we try out a new town. So we went. As I get sick on the bus my companion picked a few streets and we were determined to knock on every door. Well As the day was winding down we hadn´t found anything really promising. The last hour of the day we entered into a building with about 9 floors and 7 doors per floor. "Okay well at least work for the next hour and there has to be somebody willing to listen to us here." was my thought. So we started and yep no one was home. Not one door had anyone behind it. We had about 20 minutes until we had to run for the bus we came to the last door. We knocked and the door opened. When the lady behind the door saw us her face lit up like a light bulb. "sister,"she exclaimed, "come in come in." This wonderful sister was a less active of about 8 years. She had been praying for guidance and light to come back into her life. Not 10 minutes after her prayer we knocked on her door. This lovely women is now attending church. Her little girl loves primary and we love to sing I am a child of God with her now. God works miracles.

AAAAHHHH!! I´m running out of time. But my dear family I would like you to know that I know that this church is true. Christ lives and his hand is in this work. Miracles happen daily. Some quickly and others not so much but they do come. Stay faithful and steadfast that eternal life will be yours. I love you all and hope you have a wonderful week wherever you are.

love,

Hermana Petru
