This is in her area!

We had a missionary activity this week en el campo. SO beautiful! We hiked and sword fought and had a dandy ole time!

 

 

Wow I cannot believe its Monday again... This week has been way too fast. I am torn between wanting the rest of my mission to go this fast or wanting it to slow down so I can really savor every moment! It was a kinda weird week, we didn´t have a normal day all week! But it's okay because we saw a lot of miracles and met some really great people!

So Monday night we decided to follow up on some former investigators from our Area Book and we found a miracle! Antonio is like 80 something and has family members upon family members that are members! He is so great and really wants to learn more about the Book of Mormon. He´s so intelligent and willing to learn. He lives with his niece, Mari, and her husband, Antonio. We haven´t met Antonio the Younger yet, but Mari is so sweet. She can´t read but she prays so beautifully and was so excited to talk about Christ with us. The feeling in their home was wonderful and they are ready to hear more now, which is so awesome.

We´ve gone to El Palo a few times this week. It's the pueblo that our area covers and it's the closest pueblo to Malaga (on this side at least). El Palo used to have a branch and a building years ago, but over time the branch was consolidated into the Malaga wards. Thanks to the Lord and our efforts, we have seen miracles there!

We met Ana a few weeks ago, but were finally able to see her this week. She´s probably about 75, she´s not just a greatgrandmother, but she´s a tatarabuela! She lost her husband about 40 years ago when he was killed in a robbery. SO SAD. When we shared with her that families could be together forever, she was so excited and touched to find that out.

So awesome. So we were following up on a name given us by the Elders Quorum president in El Palo. The address was for this street that literally on the beach. As we were walking along it, we were like, THIS IS UNREAL!! So beautiful, and so tempting :) Hahaha but it was this family, where 4 of the daughters were baptized. Pepe ,the dad, kept on telling us over and over again that we are free to come over any time and that "mi casa es vuestra casa." They literally live as close to the ocean as you can get, in the most beautiful house ever. Basically, we are going back Tuesday. Hahah I took pictures so you can see the view! BUT we are teaching one of their daughters that lives with them that isn´t a member.

ALSO, ESTRELLA´S FAMILY IS GETTING BAPTIZED ON SATURDAY!!!!!!! I am dying. I am so excited! And the really cool thing is, they are too! They keep telling us how anxious they are to start a new life, all clean. They are wonderful and the baptism is going to be beautiful!

So really, this next week is going to be amazing. I am so excited for the baptism and helping them prepare and feel comfortable. I hope everyone has a great week next week and keep Patricia, Dolores and Samara in your prayers as they prepare this week for baptism on Saturday!

(I asked her what they did on p-day.), Haha okay so last week we hiked the hill behind our piso and sat up in the mountains by the castle writing letters. I kid you not that is what we did. And today we are going to make lunch with all the elders from our zone and play futbol and chill. Its always fun and of course, email and grocery shopping. We went to the mission home to play softball as a zone and have a bbq with Pres and Sis deere and the Castillos (the office senior missionaries). It was fun!
