I´m a little excited. ahahaha If you couldn´t tell.

Miracle story...so embarrassing..."I love Valencia and the members and my companion and our pisomates. I am seriously so happy :-) I think I just smile and laugh all day long. But the miracle story is from my last area, Hospitalet, right before I left.

So this is embarrassing to admit, but it makes for a great story, so I guess it is worth it. We were heading back to piso after Singing of the Angels and there were 7 of us. We got in the elevator and there was plenty of room so no one thought to check the capacity or say anything. The elevator made some weird noises, started shaking and then dropped a foot. The emergency light started flashing. We all froze and didn´t know what happened. Then everyone looked at me, which is terrifying because I am claustrophobic and had no idea what to do. So I said "Let´s pray"--always my first answer. Good heavens, I never know what to do--I´d be lost and unable to function without praying all the time. We prayed and then tried calling on the phone,...but there was no service, of course. So I decided to pray again and this time I asked that someone would hear the alarm bell I planned on holding down. We held the bell down and right after the prayer, someone heard us and called the Pres. We were stuck in there for 29ish minutes and I was fighting claustrophobia, but we talked and laughed and it helped. Everything worked out and Heavenly Father answered our prayers immediately, again. He never gets tired of us, thank heavens. From now on I will check the capacity limit of elevators before we get in!"

Oh huckleberry, here´s the rest of the letter too:

"I love Hna Oslund! I love the changes that I see in her since we were companions before, especially how much she loves me :-) She teaches me a lot without knowing it. The other night I was talking and goofing around with Hna Goodman and walked back to the room and Hna Oslund was laying on her bed, reading the Book of Mormon and writing down the miracles she found. It really impacted me. She doesn´t get the credit she deserves from other people who just see the funny, crazy side of her, but she tries and works so hard to be the missionary and person she wants to be. I have lost some focus on that and want to follow her example and be more diligent to improve daily. I also LOVE Hnas Goodman and Maxwell. They are so great and I am learning daily about the kind of person I want to be from their examples.

We met some recent converts here at conference and set up visits for the week to come. There are a few progressing investigators in our area, but they live in a pueblo and were unable to come in. We will visit them tomorrow. We are excited to find those who are prepared here! We know Valencia is full of them!

I love General Conference and just love being a missionary! I received so many answers and much personal revelation this weekend. Heavenly Father loves me so much-- I just can´t comprehend it."
