<span style="font-family: Helvetica; line-height: 14px;">Bueno I have no time this week! I've been very busy and I can keep my mind off of what we get to do to help people! It's awesome! Well I just want to briefly share a story that impacted me and helped me very much. </span><br />
<div style="font-family: Helvetica;">
<br /></div>
<div style="font-family: Helvetica;">
The familia Salas are awesome people! Hermana Salas is a rock in every sense of the word... He beat me in an arm wrestle while I was using two arms... Plus he's got 2 hernias( I'm convinced they help him have super strength) He needs to get operated on soon. Then his wife Elma is awesome too... She has three herniated discs that are out of place... She's in a lot of pain... We decided to make them cookies. I wanted to share a message, and I shared a good message, but their responses were much more powerful than my message. Manuel Salas talked about how God sent us here to be tried... He needs to allow us to see that we're strong enough to go through trails and come out victorious having gained greater confidence in the Lord. Then Elma talked about how through these trails she's come to have a greater appreciation for the Atonement and a great love for God... These people are amazing. </div>
<div style="font-family: Helvetica;">
<br /></div>
<div style="font-family: Helvetica;">
I've come to learn that "my yoke is easy and my burden is light" that means there is a yoke, and there is a burden. God doesn't take away all of the pain, so we can be happy, but rather provided something much more gratifying.... He provides a way for us to be happy through our burdens. God is great. </div>

<span id="yui_3_16_0_1_1442272694318_18006"> Okay well I actually had a little bit of time to write on the train, so I can tell you about Richard. He's our Nigerian investigator who is spectacular! He used to be Muslim, but the Lord went preparing him poco a poco until he was ready to know the gospel of Jesus Christ. This man has more faith than anyone that I've met... He's incredible. He has a baptismal date for the 16th of October. He still has to get married, and wait for the government to say he can get married. Reasonably he's still a ways out from getting it all done, but he says that God will open whatever door He needs to to help Richard me a member of the church of Jesus Christ. Richard is amazing, and I feel extremely blessed to be a part of his conversion. </span></div>

<span id="yui_3_16_0_1_1442272694318_18009"> Now I'll tell you about my miraculous day en Villalba. Today I went to go visit my first area, and had very little time due to travel. I really only had time to visit 2-3 families that I really wanted to see. As I was talking to one of the families about people who had accompanied me to lessons, and brought me their friends to teach. I asked about 2, Harison and Giovanni... Both of the now inactive. I was heart broken and truly sad. These people are incredible. I really wanted to see them, but I knew both of them worked. On our way to another place we found Harison! I was super excited to see him, and I have him a giant hug! This guy is great! I got after him with love and told him to go back to church. It was short quick and powerful. Then on our way to another visit we saw Giovanni! Again, a crazy unexpected miracle. I also invited him to come back to church; told him how much I loved him and how much I knew he could do. It was wonderful. </span></div>

<span id="yui_3_16_0_1_1442272694318_18012">As I was talking to Ismael(my first convert) we acknowledged how great the Lord was and how he was and is a God of miracles! I was incredible to go back and visit! I felt a ton of love and I'm so grateful that I was able to see those incredible people again... God is good. God is great!</span><br />

These last few weeks have been fantastic! We've had incredible growth here in Azuqueca! I got here looking to do everything right. I wanted to do things by the book and fully invest myself. To make cookies for the members and investigators, allow ALL of my thoughts words and deeds be dedicated to my area. I tried to humble myself, to not do my will with the work, but rather to do the Lord's will. </div>

Well I'd like to briefly explain some of the bounteous blessings that the Lore has allotted us. 1. Ruben.. I talked about him last week, and now he has a baptismal date! 2. They've now changed the ward mission leader and given us 5 new ward missionaries. Now I don't say this to brag, or to say that I'm any better than anyone else, but rather the opposite. I notice that when I try to do things my way we get okay results, but when we do them the Lord's way the Heavens open and we are elevated to higher planes. </div>

I'd like to finish with a story that happened last Tuesday. We were going to meet with a less active family. The father is not a member, and the 10 year old son isn't either. We showed up and just kinda started getting in a routine ( I despise routines) my comp was doing a good job explaining principles, but there was just a lot of noise and jokes going along. They've had various visits from the missionaries, but I fear that some one them may not have been that effective. I stopped the lesson and asked them why they thought we were here? They gave off some good answers, and then I pulled out my iPad. I showed them my first screen saver, which is a picture my my family dropping off my cousin at the MTC. Then I told them, " Let me show you why I left these wonderful people." I proceeded to show them my other screensaver which is a picture of the Fuentea family right after their sealing. "Families can be together forever, but I have to be honest, without the gospel of Jesus Christ and the temple.... They can't be" </div>
<div id="yui_3_16_0_1_1441616676352_77558" style="font-family: Helvetica;">
Arlet( the mother) started tearing up as did the non member friend. The Spirit was testifying of truth. </div>
<div id="yui_3_16_0_1_1441616676352_77570" style="font-family: Helvetica;">
<br /></div>
<div id="yui_3_16_0_1_1441616676352_77559" style="font-family: Helvetica;">
I then directed my attention to Jesus(Arlet's husband) I asked him if he had ever recognized the Spirit? He said that he has felt it a few times during testimony meeting. The Spirit again testified as he shared his experiences. We discussed a little more with him and proceeded to talk to Adriano. I asked him, "Do you know what baptism is?" </div>
<div id="yui_3_16_0_1_1441616676352_77560" style="font-family: Helvetica;">
He said, "I do... It's when we make a promise with God that we're going to do the right thing."</div>
<div id="yui_3_16_0_1_1441616676352_77561" style="font-family: Helvetica;">
"Do you want to get baptized?" </div>
<div id="yui_3_16_0_1_1441616676352_77562" style="font-family: Helvetica;">
"When I feel ready." </div>
<div id="yui_3_16_0_1_1441616676352_77563" style="font-family: Helvetica;">
"Great answer. What do you think you'll feel when you're ready?" </div>
<div style="font-family: Helvetica;">
"The Spirit" </div>
<div id="yui_3_16_0_1_1441616676352_77564" style="font-family: Helvetica;">
I proceeded to ask questions and he then understood that he had felt the Spirit and that he needed to get baptized. We set a date for him. He started crying. He ran over to his mom. He said that he was so happy that he now felt ready and was going to get baptized. I thin addressed the friend (Patricia) and asked her how she felt. She also recognized the Spirit.</div>
<div id="yui_3_16_0_1_1441616676352_77565" style="font-family: Helvetica;">
<br /></div>
<div id="yui_3_16_0_1_1441616676352_77566" style="font-family: Helvetica;">
Now we have three people with a baptismal date, some great investigators, and a lot of progress. It's truly amazing how God can change us when we simply allow Him to. The church is true. </div>

<span style="background: white; font-family: 'Segoe UI', sans-serif;">This
week was fantastic! We I've been focusing on assuring that I don't become
complacent with and that I constantly improve. I've experienced a lot of
personal growth along with progress in my area. </span><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman",serif; font-size: 12.0pt; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman";"><o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="font-family: 'Segoe UI', sans-serif;">On exchanges with my
buddy Elder Barlow we were contacting in the streets. For the last 9-10 months
I've pushed myself to talk to everyone, but recently I've wanted to talk to
EVERYONE! Whether it be that they are on the bench, with their girlfriend, on a
bike, or even parked in a car. We have the greatest message in the world, so we
should be running to let everyone know about it! <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="background: white; margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="background: white; margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;">
<span style="font-family: 'Segoe UI', sans-serif;">We had been stopping a
lot of people, and then we saw this young couple. So you understand the culture
people in Spain do EVERYTHING on benches. So they were on the bench mingled
together (kinda awkward) then we started talking to these two Spaniards. They
both started laughing at us.... Ha I was chuckled a little and then somehow the
situation changed. We started talking to them about God, and His love for us.
We ended up talked to them, and sharing the restoration with them. Their
countenance changed. They now had a respectable distance between them, and they
were listening and sharing experiences. In the background you could hear some
arguments and loud music, but we really felt the Spirit. It was strong and
testifying of truth. <o:p></o:p></span></div>

like to share was when we stopped Ruben. I approached him and he shook his head
and finger as if to signal me to leave him alone. I did what I always do when I
see that.... Contact them anyway! He told me that he didn't believe in God and
wanted nothing to do with us. Using inspired questions we were able to find an
experience in which he had prayed, asked God to help him with cancer, and now
he has no signs of cancer. We got in deeper and talked for about 30 minutes. At
the end of the conversation the Spirit was very powerful and up lifting. It was
hands down the most powerful lesson I've had on my mission. We're meeting him this
coming week, and he seems very anxious to meet and better understand our Lord's
love.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="background: white; margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;">
<span style="font-family: 'Segoe UI', sans-serif;">I learned that we never
know who someone truly is until we take the time to know them. The Spirit can
can people over time, and instantly. God loves us. The church is true. <span style="font-size: 10pt;"><o:p></o:p></span></span></div>

This week was awesome! I've still been working on writing my miracle for every day and I've been more happy and excited! I think some people believe I'm borderline insane, but I get so pumped when we go and talk to people about wonderful truths! </div>

<div style="font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 14px;">
Just briefly for my email I want to share how great it is to see how God can transform people's lives and allow us to shift our mindset. I would like to share two examples one is my recent converts' father from Talavera. His name is Daniel, he was part of the Romanian police force and was one of the most hard headed people I've ever met. (I was one of, but I mean definitely) Our branch mission leader said that he's seen people Change and has seen God do miracles, but that he didn't think Daniel would go anywhere. 6 months after that discussion I had the opportunity to hear him tell me that Daniel, his wife and 2 kids have been going to church for the last few months! Haha My old branch mission leader was happy to inform me that he was wrong about Daniel and God really can change anyone. It was a good moment to see Miguel being a good example for his family and to see seeds you planted start to grow. </div>

The next example is Consuelo! She's a Columbian investigator that we have. I met her about 4 months ago. I had previously met her daughters, but they told me that their mom didn't want anything to do with us. I then saw her crossing a bridge, and went to talk to her. She said she was in a hurry, quite rudely, and kept walking. I told her that it wasn't a problem because missionaries walk fast! She still gave me a cold shoulder and I was very persistent and finally hot permission to stop by her house. This week she called me because we hadn't seen her for 5 days and got after me for not visiting her! She's also been to church about 5 times and is now bringing her daughter! GOD IS GREAT! </div>
<div style="font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 14px;">
<br /></div>
<div style="font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 14px;">
Well those were just 2 examples and God's still working on making me the third, but I've still got to humble myself and let The Lord mold me. The church is true! I hope you all have a great week! </div>

<div style="font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 14px;">
This week consisted of tender mercies and peace. I've been in Ourense for almost 6 months now. I came in with my old comp, Elder Peterson, and opened the area. We worked tirelessly for the success of the area, and after almost 3 years without baptisms we were blessed to be a part of 2 people's eternal salvation. I've now been with Elder Galvan for 3 months and I saw a lot of the things we built up fall in spite of our efforts. With a branch that's about as big as my old priest quorum it hurts when we don't see progress. But it's not even me it hurts, but it hurts because this is their reality. After another year I'll go home to my monster size ward. </div>
<div style="font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 14px;">
<br /></div>
<div style="font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 14px;">
After having a couple of down weeks where it seemed like our efforts were going to waste I decided that I needed to shift my mindset, follow what President Hinkley said and have an attitude of gratitude! I started seeing little miracles occurring more frequently. Just small things like running into a less active member that had been dodging my calls. We saw her, chatted a bit about life, and without saying anything about church she said that tomorrow she'd come and she did. An old investigator started reading the Book of Mormon. It also seemed like a lot of problems just fixed themselves! The biggest one though is Consuelo's daughter vamp to church. Her mom is our investigator, and when we went to pick her mom up she got in the elevator too. I know her mom didn't pressure her at all and neither did we, but I feel like the Lord touched her heart and she listened to the prompting! </div>
<div style="font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 14px;">
<br /></div>
<div style="font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 14px;">
I'm grateful for the tender mercies God gives all of us everyday! Look for the and you'll find them! </div>

PS for those of you RMs I have a question. When was the last time you talked to one of the people you taught on your mission? As missionaries we played a big role in their lives and surely told them we loved them. Let us not just be speakers of the word, but also doers. I put myself in this category too. I need to be better at writing my converts, but I also invite you rms who read this to join me in doing better at showing that love we told our people we had for them. The church is true! </div>

<span style="background-color: white; font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', 'Segoe UI', Helvetica, Arial, 'Lucida Grande', sans-serif; font-size: 13px;">We had quite the week! From painting to preaching to anything else you can imagine. </span><br />

Oswaldo was a member reference from our branch mission leader. He's a very good man from Venezuela. He's encountered some tough economic times, so he has to sell his house. We helped him for a good chunk of our week to paint his house. We had an awesome time painting his house, and discussing with him. I think if it were just his choice he'd get baptized, but he doesn't want to do anything contrary to his wife's will, so she's our focus now, but overall I think it was a great opportunity to show a little bit of our love for them! </div>

Then this last week we taught Consuelo. They're also been having a lot of family problems, especially with one of her sister, who is a member. We shared a bible video that illustrated that we need to do things for God, and that she should ask him what He wants her to do. We finished the lesson, and then she prayed. She got very emotional and said that's why she doesn't like to pray. She said that it feels like I'm covered by this feeling. I told her that's the Holy Ghost. We still have a long way to go, but it's great to see how the Lord goes by giving us just as much light as we can take. He truly prepares people for us to teach. </div>

Overall we've had some great stuff happening. We've dropped a lot of people, and have had to be quite bold, but I know of we do the Lord's will that's He'll provide a way for us to grow and build His kingdom! the church is true!! </div>

Esneda (Grandmother) had a son that got poisoned while drinking alcohol. He was in the ER and fighting between life and death. We prayed and fasted together, and receive news that he was now conscious. I learned a lot from this experience. One being that God loves us which is why He gave us commandments. Second being that prayer is powerful, and that we need to learn from our difficult experiences. This family drew closer together, and felt the love of their Father a little more. There is always something good that we can obtain from a difficult situation. </span><br />

The whole song was not a missionary appropriate song, but I feel like this line can relate to us. "We've come a long way from where we began, and I'll tell you all about it when I see you again." To me this directly relates to prayer. every night we give an account of our day's proceedings to the Lord. I just hope that every day I can feel like I've taken good care of the part of the vineyard that the Lord entrusted me with. We all have something that the Lord has entrusted us with. I hope that we can all see that we've come a long way. </span><br />

<span style="font-family: Noteworthy-Light; font-size: 15px; line-height: 15px;">I have been very edified this week. We were able to have a unique service opportunity, and I continue to learn from my Saviour. </span><br />

We have a great Colombian member here in Ourense her name is Rosa. Her husband, Jorge, has recently had a stroke and they detected that he had a cancerous tumor in his throat. Rosa was operated for her knee on Thursday, and has been suffering a lot. This 60 year old lady has been carrying her family for a <span id="yui_3_16_0_1_1437238871319_16780">long</span> time, and in a matter of 2 weeks her life came changed dramatically. </div>

We always ask Rosa if there's <span id="yui_3_16_0_1_1437238871319_16776">anything</span> that we can do to help her, but she always says no. Sunday afternoon she wanted someone to stay the night with him. They called around our small branch and it seemed like nobody could help her. We heard about it, and said we'd go. Many people said that she had family that should help her, or that she was taking advantage of the branch. I was a little upset with that attitude, and asked them what they would do if Jesus was there?<br />

In the end we broke mission rules and stayed the night with him. I was unable to sleep because of the constant noise, and smell that was there. It wasn't fun, but I had a lot of time to think of why Ido I do? I'll be the first to say that I'm far from perfection and that I desperately need the atonement. I realized that many times I do the right thing because others may be watching me, to please my leaders, parents or friends. I knew it intellectually, but I needed to comprehend it Spiritually. I need to do the right thing because it's the right thing. Not for blessing that will inevitably come. I reflected on the hymn "Choose the Right" I need to always strive to chose the right and let the consequences follow. </div>

<a href="https://www.blogger.com/blogger.g?blogID=6570673791075543987" style="color: #222222;">On Thursday afternoon</a> we were walking to a lesson when I was suddenly stopped by a Dominican lady. She just stopped and without saying a word put this earbuds in my ear. I started hearing this heavy metal music. More than anything I was confused. She then took it out, smiled and said, "I'm Christian too.... Keep up the preaching." On the mission I've just been able to see some interesting things and some interesting people. What I've learned is that we're all kind of weird, but God loves us all regardless! </div>

Yesterday we were blessed with an opportunity to serve a beautiful Ecuadorian family. They work in fairs selling articles of clothing and jewelry from their country. They are moving to Holland because the work situation is better there. We got to move a ton of heavy boxes down a few floors, and then take them to another member's house and store them really high up. I've been asked many times why do we need to congregate together to worship, can't we just do what's right and read the bible? There are many reasons why, but I believe that God allows us to congregate to help each other so we can feel charity! I'm happy for the opportunity we had to serve and for r the opportunity we HAVE to serve God everyday!! The church is true!!! </div>

<span style="font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 14px; line-height: 21px;">These last couple of days I've been kinda sick, but Satan doesn't take </span><span style="font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 14px; line-height: 21px;">a day off, so neither do I! Jaja but if anything I say in these email </span><span style="font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 14px; line-height: 21px;">doesn't make sense it very well may be that I took the night time </span><span style="font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 14px; line-height: 21px;">pills during the day.</span><br />

Yesterday we went over to the </span><span style="font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 14px; line-height: 21px;">Montes' house and I made burritos! We had a great time, and were able </span><span style="font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 14px; line-height: 21px;">to have another very edifying lesson. Whenever I go over there I feel </span><span style="font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 14px; line-height: 21px;">like I do a lot of introspection, and it allows me to open my </span><span style="font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 14px; line-height: 21px;">spiritual eyes. I'm trying hard to see situations and people the way </span><span style="font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 14px; line-height: 21px;">that the Lord does.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 14px; line-height: 21px;">Later during the day yesterday we were contacting in the streets. It </span><span style="font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 14px; line-height: 21px;">was 42 degrees... which is Fahrenheit is about 108 degrees. I was sick </span><span style="font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 14px; line-height: 21px;">and completely drained. I told my comp that we were going to sit in </span><span style="font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 14px; line-height: 21px;">the shade, stay productive and make calls. As I was making calls some </span><span style="font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 14px; line-height: 21px;">old guy came and started talking to my comp. Then an old investigator </span><span style="font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 14px; line-height: 21px;">came and started talking to me. Then his friend walked by and I </span><span style="font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 14px; line-height: 21px;">started teaching her too. We taught for like 20 minutes, but he had to </span><span style="font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 14px; line-height: 21px;">go to a lesson. It was awesome to see the Lord just do what I couldn't </span><span style="font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 14px; line-height: 21px;">do. When we give it our all God will pick us up and take us the rest </span><span style="font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 14px; line-height: 21px;">of the way!</span><br />

We were in the bank getting our bus passes renewed and we were in in line behind this old Galego guy. We were waiting for it to be our turn, but this sneaky lady tried to cut us in line. Once the old guy noticed what was happening he took a second and then started expressing himself. He begun cussing like a sailor! "I have a bad knee! How dare you cut us in line!" After a minute of him yelling and everyone looking at him the lady moved and I was like go ahead brother. He said with s smile, "After you my friend." My comp is convinced that he was a third Nifite. </div>

Now I feel like I've written about my good friend Fran before, but basically he's an awesome guy who's less active. He was Bishop in Venezuela and Branch president here. We were conversing and I so much wanted to get to the core of the problem. Through inspired questions and the Spirit we were able to help him realize why we should keep the commandments what moves him to choose the right. The Spirit was very strong in that room, and I know that he has the potential to transform this branch which is why I'm so excited about his growth. </div>

<span style="font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 14px; line-height: 21px;">Bueno I have no time today, or hardly ever, but we had a miraculous week!</span><br />
<br style="font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 14px; line-height: 21px;" />
<span style="font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 14px; line-height: 21px;">We just got back from </span><span style="font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 14px; line-height: 21px;">Portugal</span><span style="font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 14px; line-height: 21px;">, so I have poco tiempo but muchos </span><span style="font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 14px; line-height: 21px;">pictures! (Don't worry dad we had permission) (:</span><br />
<br style="font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 14px; line-height: 21px;" />
<span style="font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 14px; line-height: 21px;">We were on exchanges, so I was waiting for my companion, making calls. </span><span style="font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 14px; line-height: 21px;">This guy named Jhonathan is was an old investigator that I've tried to</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 14px; line-height: 21px;">call like 10 times. I felt like I should call him, but I didn't want </span><span style="font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 14px; line-height: 21px;">to call him to just hear another answering machine. I decided to </span><span style="font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 14px; line-height: 21px;">follow the prompting and kick my pride out of the way for a second. I </span><span style="font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 14px; line-height: 21px;">called him, and answered! He was open to meet that day right when my </span><span style="font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 14px; line-height: 21px;">comp got back from the station. We set the place, and told him we'd be </span><span style="font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 14px; line-height: 21px;">there in 45 minutes. My comp's bus came late, so we got to where </span><span style="font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 14px; line-height: 21px;">Jhonathan was 90 minutes later! Jhonathan had waited there for an </span><span style="font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 14px; line-height: 21px;">extra 45 minutes! (Doesn't happen in Spain) Then we met with him to </span><span style="font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 14px; line-height: 21px;">see where he was at. He had read the Book of Mormon cover to cover, </span><span style="font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 14px; line-height: 21px;">stopped smoking and isn't living with his girlfriend! That's gold if </span><span style="font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 14px; line-height: 21px;">I've ever seen it!!!</span><br />

<span style="font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 14px; line-height: 21px;">We conversed for a few minutes and went over what he remembered. He </span><span style="font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 14px; line-height: 21px;">told me that he felt like the church was good, and this is the path </span><span style="font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 14px; line-height: 21px;">that he wants to follow! That's HUGE miracle! He's so prepared! We now </span><span style="font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 14px; line-height: 21px;">have a date for his batism, and I thank the Lord for blessing this </span><span style="font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 14px; line-height: 21px;">area, and me with such a prepared man!</span><br />

It was my first week with my new comp, and I had a great time with him. he got baptised just a little over 2 years ago, and now he's on a mission!! He has a good spirit, so we're gonna blow up this area! </span><br />

This week we heard about our main man Oswaldo. His 7 year old son was talking to his friend saying that he can't play with him Sunday because he has to go to church. Oswaldo and his wife said that they're now going this week because they're not Mormons. Oswaldito said, "Well in that case I'm a Mormon!" It makes me laugh, but it's also interesting how young children are often times more in tuned to the Spirit than adults. </div>

We also had district conference this week, and we had Fran the Domincan come. I was way pumped to see him there! He's the guy that used to be a bishop in the DR, but has now been inactive for like7 years. Him and I are buddies, so we had a good time singing and chatting on the bus ride up there! It's really those small moments of joy that make things well worth the effort! </div>

Lastly we're been working on a District vision, and I found a good use for some of the pictures that I had taken before the mission! It's all in Spanish, but I think it's pretty cool! The church is true, and I hope you all have a grand week! </div>

Basically this was a solid week! We've been looking for some new people to teach, and found this lady from some island in the Caribbean that nobody knows about. She doesn't have a phone, and doesn't speak a ton of Spanish. We left her a card and let her know where we met, and left it at that. Miraculously she came to church and said that she's never felt better in any other church!! We're meeting with her this week, but I feel like she could be an answer to our prayers!<br />

Other than that I went and did a bunch of workouts with a less active guy named Fran. I might have written about him, but he's from Venezuela, and has a ton of potential. like 10 years ago he came here from Venezuela after being branch President. He saved the branch and made it really big. Now he's inactive, and is a personal trainer to spend more time with him we worked out..... I think it's the closest I've been to death on my mission. We had a great time, and related working out to the gospel and my I felt really good about it. He's awesome and I believe he'll come back soon! </div>

<span style="font-size: small;"><br />This week was like Frosted Flakes! "They're more than good, they're GRRRRREAT!!"<br />On Monday we went to Isla Cíes. We went with our whole zone and had a<br />great time! We went to a light house, played soccer on the beach, and<br />partied (missionary style) on a boat! We were there with our mission<br />President and everything! It was soo fun! Then we had Zone conference<br />with a bunch of sunburt missionaries!<br /><br />Then we met with Wladamir. (the guy I told to get his shirt on and get<br />to work). He had come to church that Sunday I talked to him, but<br />hadn't come since. We talked, and were able to see what he really<br />needed and work on helping him progress. He's a great guy, but just<br />needs a lot of love. It's such a shame to see people with such great<br />potential be blinded by Satan and feel like they don't have a great<br />importance in the eyes of God.<br /><br />Well things are going well here in Ourense! We are seeing progress,<br />and I know and love each one of the members here. I joke around with<br />the old ladies who always want me to marry their grandaughters in<br />Colombia, and I love being with these people who work so hard to come<br />unto Christ! They're awesome!!!<br /><br /><br />Pics: Isla Cies<br /><br />The lighthouse, Me and Elder Poulson, and more!</span></div>

<span style="font-size: small;">This week was super busy! We went to Madrid, and had a blast!<br /><br />I got to kick it with my old comp Elder Poulson! He's my main bru! We<br />went down to Madrid, made a music video, and had a great time. What<br />made it the best week though was the fact that we got to see the<br />Fuentes family get sealed. Well just the parents for now, but it was<br />awesome. I've never felt the Spirit more powerfully before. I was so<br />happy! I almost started crying, and everything! Well I feel like I<br />can't express how I truly felt with words. I'm just so happy for them,<br />and that I could play a part in that great process!!<br /><br />Well then we had our ipàd meeting. Who knows when we'll get them, but<br />it was a good meeting, and it was great to see all of my friends that<br />I've made during the mission. It's just crazy to see that a lot of<br />them are going home soon! It was a good time though!<br /><br />The last thing that I got to do before we left Madrid was to in to do<br />a session at the temple. I hadn't been to one in 9 months, so it was<br />awesome! Well the church is true! I'm going to an Island off the coast<br />of Vigo today, so I have no time! Love you all!!!<br /><br />Elder Bailey</span><br />

"loca loca loca"!!! We recieved notice that we're going to have ipads, so we're going down to Madrid. (From Ourense it's like 7 hours on train) As we found this out I talked to the missionaries in my last area about how everything was going in Talavera. They let me know that Helmut (Miguel's brother) recieved permission to get baptized. I love every fasset of missionay work. Some plat, some cultivate and some reap. I'm super excited to see that his parents felt the Spirit and that Miguel(Romanian that I taught and baptized) has been a good example. It's super exciting!! </span><br />
<div id="yui_3_16_0_1_1430695894935_376793" style="background-color: white; font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', 'Segoe UI', Helvetica, Arial, 'Lucida Grande', sans-serif; font-size: 13px;">

<div id="yui_3_16_0_1_1430695894935_376795" style="background-color: white; font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', 'Segoe UI', Helvetica, Arial, 'Lucida Grande', sans-serif; font-size: 13px;">
As I was talking to those same missionaries I was reminded that Jhonny and Patricia(Awesome couple that we taught the temple prep classes to) hasn't been through yet. I decided to take avantage of the miracle that Elder Poulson and I were going to be in Madrid and make sure that they went through and that we could be there for their sealing, and the sealing of their 2 children!!</div>
<div id="yui_3_16_0_1_1430695894935_376797" style="background-color: white; font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', 'Segoe UI', Helvetica, Arial, 'Lucida Grande', sans-serif; font-size: 13px;">

It all sounded nice and dandy, but it has been crazy difficult to coordinate everything, and make sure that everything is ready to go. I knew that I needed to take the bull by the horns and make this happen, but Satan works sooo hard to make sure that people can't enjoy the blessings of the temple. I still need to work out some details, but it looks like it should all go through. I ask for all of your prayers to make sure we help the Fuentes family get sealed!! </div>

Well I don't have any funny stories, but I know the church is true, and that the gospel helps people to expiernce joy. I love you guys and hope you have a great week!! </div>

<span style="font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 14px; line-height: 14px;">Gotta be short!!</span><br />
<br style="font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 14px; line-height: 14px;" />
<span style="font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 14px; line-height: 14px;">Quick story!! Brasilian!!</span><br />
<br style="font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 14px; line-height: 14px;" />
<span style="font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 14px; line-height: 14px;">So two weeks ago we had a meeting with one of our investigator's mom. </span><span style="font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 14px; line-height: 14px;">She's a Brasilian lady. She looked really mean, and I had heard </span><span style="font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 14px; line-height: 14px;">stories of her ripping into missionaries! We had a lesson with her </span><span style="font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 14px; line-height: 14px;">where we taught about prayer and the Book of Mormon. she said that she </span><span style="font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 14px; line-height: 14px;">knew God wasn't there, and if He was then he was heartless. I told her </span><span style="font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 14px; line-height: 14px;">to pray, and that I was suere that she'd feel God's love. She then </span><span style="font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 14px; line-height: 14px;">said, "if by next time I don't have an answer then I never want to see </span><span style="font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 14px; line-height: 14px;">you again."</span><br />
<br style="font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 14px; line-height: 14px;" />
<span style="font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 14px; line-height: 14px;">Fast forward to Friday. We went to pick up Harry and Milena(Less </span><span style="font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 14px; line-height: 14px;">active member and investigator) They told us that Eliana (Brasilian </span><span style="font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 14px; line-height: 14px;">mom) wanted to talk to us. I was thinking.. Crap! Well then we went up </span><span style="font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 14px; line-height: 14px;">and sat down. She said, "I want to be clear and direct." I was </span><span style="font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 14px; line-height: 14px;">thinking.... super crap! She's going to drop us and then rip into me!</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 14px; line-height: 14px;">She proceeded to tell us that she had read 3 Nephi 11 twice, prayed to </span><span style="font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 14px; line-height: 14px;">God, and recieved an answer. As she talked I could see her eyes light </span><span style="font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 14px; line-height: 14px;">up and her smile grow. It sounds cheesey, but It's really what it was. </span><span style="font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 14px; line-height: 14px;">It was awesome. She said that she could also feel of our love, </span><span style="font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 14px; line-height: 14px;">something that she hadn't felt from any of the other missionaries in </span><span style="font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 14px; line-height: 14px;">the past. She said that as she gets more comforable with God that </span><span style="font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 14px; line-height: 14px;">she's going to come to church!!</span><br />
<br style="font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 14px; line-height: 14px;" />
<span style="font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 14px; line-height: 14px;">I learned a lot form this expiernce. First off that I needed to have </span><span style="font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 14px; line-height: 14px;">more faith and confidence in God. He will always answer our prayers. I </span><span style="font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 14px; line-height: 14px;">also learned that we need to always be happy and express our love for </span><span style="font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 14px; line-height: 14px;">God's other children. They will notice it! The church is true!!!</span><br />
<br style="font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 14px; line-height: 14px;" />

I've had few weeks that weren't, but I love </span><span style="font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 14px; line-height: 14px;">feeling like I'm making a difference!</span><br style="font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 14px; line-height: 14px;" /><br style="font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 14px; line-height: 14px;" /><span style="font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 14px; line-height: 14px;">We're been looking for some service opportunities, but it's rough </span><span style="font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 14px; line-height: 14px;">because nobody in Spain wants a Mexican and an American moving around </span><span style="font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 14px; line-height: 14px;">stuff in their flat! But our ward mission leader needed some of his </span><span style="font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 14px; line-height: 14px;">house painted. I had the time of my life just paining and hearing his </span><span style="font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 14px; line-height: 14px;">mission stories!! Jaja they're crazy!!! We also met one of his friends </span><span style="font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 14px; line-height: 14px;">and set something up to start teaching them English! They seem super </span><span style="font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 14px; line-height: 14px;">solid and I'm excited to get something going with them!</span><br style="font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 14px; line-height: 14px;" /><br style="font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 14px; line-height: 14px;" /><span style="font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 14px; line-height: 14px;">In our branch we need a sort of awakening. We have a lot of less </span><span style="font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 14px; line-height: 14px;">active people that have been bishops in the Dominican Republic, Branch </span><span style="font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 14px; line-height: 14px;">Presidents in Venezuela, and just a bunch of crazy potential!! We're </span><span style="font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 14px; line-height: 14px;">been working hard to help those people rediscover their testimonies. </span><span style="font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 14px; line-height: 14px;">I've been super happy in those lessons and feeling the Spirit </span><span style="font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 14px; line-height: 14px;">powerfully as I've had the opportunity to testify of the importance of </span><span style="font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 14px; line-height: 14px;">the basic principles. I'm super excited for this branch!! We are </span><span style="font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 14px; line-height: 14px;">making great progress, and there's just so much potential here!!</span><br style="font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 14px; line-height: 14px;" /><br style="font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 14px; line-height: 14px;" /><span style="font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 14px; line-height: 14px;">Well I know the church is true, and I'm sorry if this letter has been </span><span style="font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 14px; line-height: 14px;">all over the place...
