Cómo estáis? ahahahahahaha juerga alert, we aren´t supposed to use the vosotros form, but I just wanted to see if I actually could. It was kind of natural, win.

One miracle among the many that we had this week was with our investigator Xavier. We have had very powerful lessons with him, but he has been unable to take the step of faith to baptism because of some personal issues that he is struggling with. He finally opened up to us and was honest about his doubts and feelings. I felt very strongly through the Spirit that I am here right now because I can help him through experiences that I have had and gone through in the past. Helping him has helped me find answers to things that I have been looking for and dealing with.  It was also not coincidence that this all happened over fast Sunday weekend--an example of the power there is in real intent, prayer and fasting.  It has been a miracle to me and for me.
Hna Pazuengo is very crafty and loves to use these skills in relation to missionary work. I love finding ways to help her use these skills as well. We made cards to hand out to members and less actives that have the points of what we can do during the Sacrament to feel the power of the Atonement and use it in our lives. We have been trying to teach everyone this lesson from you and Hna Pace and it has really changed the feelings about the Sacrament in our ward and members.
Evelyn and Pabel are on track to be baptized; we will find out when today because of their papers. We had a run-through of the baptismal questions and Pabel´s answer and his testimony about living prophets really touched me. He said they hold all the Priesthood keys and that means everything to him.
Nayelli is a shy 9 year old and getting baptized in 2 weeks. She loves drawing things for us and even volunteered to pray to open our Noche de hogar at the church with lots of other youth and young adults. I was impressed.
Catalina is a recent convert who has decided to attend another ward to fellowship her friend who is getting baptized in barrio 2 and she wanted to be able to take the Sacrament every week after our lesson about it. It´s great to see the application!
Marco hasn´t left yet for the U.S. and accompanied us in a visit with other members. We taught tithing and fasting…and he told us he was going to fast for us!!! It was incredible. We also helped him pay his tithing for the first time and I felt so good seeing him progress.
In starting the Book of Mormon challenge (we are reading the Book of Mormon as a mission by 3 Diciembre, specifically looking for and marking miracles--Connor are you in? You are and will always be elfaro in my book!). I found a miracle about Nephi´s example for his older brother Sam in 1 Nefi 2:16-17. When we receive confirmation from the Spirit about truth, sometimes it is not just for us and we need to share it! Nephi bore his testimony to his brother, OLDER brother, and he believed him and it built his testimony, too. That is a miracle.


We had a HUGE rainstorm this week and I about died from happiness. We got caught in it and were soaked and I did some puddle stomping...my companion might have been slightly annoyed...puddle jumper? Yes. It has cooled off and I think we are almost at the end of the humidity, finally.


It has been good and different with Hna Walker. She is Hna Stephenson´s new companion and she was Hna Preston´s companion in Zaragoza. So that is fun. We´ve had some good talks. I really love being here in Barç and around other missionaries and hermanas. I don´t want to leave. I had a dream that Pte asked me to open up Ibiza with Hna Goodman at the end of my mission...it was a great dream. Prophecy? We shall see.ahahahaha so funny!


Well, sounds like everyone loved Labor Day.It has moved up on my list of holidays :-)


Love,
