This past week has seriously been absolutely incredible. Full of MIRACLES! Four of those miracles are Madelayn, Loveday, Juan Carlos and Sandra.
Madelayn: She is a single lady from Venezuela who came up to us on the metro after church. We went all the way to the sagrada familia metro stop (where we were both getting out) we continued to talk, basically she just told us her entire life story and how she came to spain 2 months ago, is trying to study but doesnt have a job and just broke up with her boyfriend who she thought she was going to marry. . . she needs the gospel. she knows it and that is why she talked to us. Long story short she wants to learn more because she said life must have a *purpose* . it sure does! and she asked if there was something that she could study to learn about the church.... YES! the book of mormon! She is super excited and super grateful to have met us and we too are so very grateful that the holy ghost touches peoples hearts and leads them to us too.
Loveday and Juan Carlos are both menos activos (inactives)! Juan carlos came up to us earlier this week and said hey, where is the church around here... hes been a member since he was 19 and has been inactive for 13 years. the best part is HE CAME TO CHURCH YESTERDAY . Loveday is a Nigerian we contacted on the metro , before we even explained who we were he said the whole name of the church and said yes, i am a member. he lost contact with the church when he came to spain he said he moved to spain when he was 19 and three months later in nigeria he recieved his mission call but since he was in spain he couldnt go... but he is great and asked for a book of mormon and speaks english! but cant come to church because he works on sundays but I know if he has faith he can find a job that will allow him to come to church if thats his desire.
Sandra was a little miracle from sunday night. we were doing pass bys with a member when we walked past this apartment portal that was a bit more hidden than the others. as we walked past it and i just had the strongest feeling that we needed to go there... we kept walking and the feeling got stronger. why dont i ever learn to just act on the first prompting?? the holy ghost has so much patience with me :) I tell hna benson and the member that we have to go to that door. the member asked if i knew someone that lived there... no , i said. so we go to the door and i just ring the third floor no one answers. should i walk away? was this a silly decision?.. i think for a bit and decide its the first floor where i want to go. I ring it and the door buzzes open. a thin women pops her head out of her door and asks who it is. We introduce ourselves, she says she is busy at the moment but we can come back next thursday at four thirty... okay! milagro. She seemed a bit confused at first but after we explained who were for a bit and left her with a prayer there was something different in her eyes.. she was happier. I love seeing how the spirit brings happiness almost immediately into peoples lives.
I know the Lord guides his work with the holy ghost.. but not just through us but through the people themselves, I know that when people come up to talk to us its because they have felt that little push inside of them to do it. the light of christ is for everyone and touches everyone we just have to listen and obey it. I love this work! I love all the miracles i get to wittness everyday! Its the best feeling ever to help people come unto Christ.
So I found out my comp is actually leaving mid transfer next transfer on a mini transfer so that she can start fall semester.. which means i might be staying here in barc longer than i thought. because someone new will have to come into the area and i will still have to show them arouond. This might just be my last area... hmm... who knows. we will see what happens.
I am great and happier than ever! I love you all and wish you all the best week.
hugs and kisses,
