HOLA MIS QUERIDOS!!
Well it has been another great wet week here in Spain. Yes it rained EVERY DAY here this passed week but it was wonderful. We had a great specialized training in Sevilla. Which means that we had 8 HERMANAS in our flat overnight. We have 2 beds and one couch and of course only ONE BATHROOM! now that was fun. It really was because Hermana Roderick and Hermana Nelson were both able to come. I love talking to those girls. We learned a lot from president about how we can more effectively use the Book of Mormon in our teaching and how it is the tool the Lord has prepared to gather Israel. I loved it.
Also this week I finished the Book of Mormon with the mission. It was Amazing to read it so quickly. I found new patterns and gained a greater understanding of basic gospel principles. It was Awesome truly. This week also we had the wonderful experience to see SEMANA SANTA. yep its crazy. I have attached some fotos. Also one of my companion. It was so funny this week. She pushed the door bell and the plate came off. She then yelp and said "I broke it." It was really funny.
All in all a really good week. We are teaching some amazing people. A young couple who is waiting to be married so the guy and be baptized. They have such a strong testimony. Also a single mother who is truly finding peace in obeying the commandments and guidance in prayer and scripture study. Truly everyday there is a witness that this gospel is true. The counsel that we receive is from God and truly for out benefit. It is wonderful. Sadly though we get to see the other side as well. We passed by this wonderful old man. He was kind of investigating but was really sure what to believe. Well we went over and read a bit of the Book of Mormon with him but as we testified of its divinity he just said no. He doesn´t believe in God. As we invited him to pray and ask he said no there was no point. It is sad to see. I know that what Alma says is true that even if we have a desire to believe and act on that desire and do not thrust out the seed by our unbelief the seed will grow until it is a beautiful tree that gives forth fruit meet for repentance. And it is in that moment that we have the strength to change and become more like God. Then God gives us the opportunity to be baptized or partake of the sacrament. To rid our self of our former life and promise to continue in His path. And to help us continue to feel His presence He gives us the Gift of the Holy Ghost. The plan is PERFECT. I know that it is true. I love you all and hope that you have a wonderful week full of miracles!
love,
Hermana Petru
