Martes: so we flew for over half the day crazy right! So when we got
to Frankfurt we went to what we thought was our gate . Then we went
up to ask if we were at the right place ten minutes before our flight
was suppose to leave it was then we realized we were in the wrong
gate and ran as hard as I ever had to run with thirty pounds of stuff
on Sent from my iPad
Miercoles: so today we had two lessons one with D_ and one with
D_ and P_. D_ is such an awesome young lady with
dreadlocks she has a great desire to follow Christ and is praying
about baptism but wants to talk to her grandma first who is a temple
worker before she commits to a baptismal date her grandma is coming on
Christmas so I'm hoping the baptism will be around then it's looking
really optimistic. And with D_ and P_ we are teaching them
about the importance of marriage and eternal families which is my
favorite thing ever to teach about . They are not married and have two
small kids but are very loving and desire to know more everyday can't
wait to meet with them again.
jueves: so today was great! The day started with teaching W_ how to
give blessings and consecrate oil which was so much fun. He has just
joined the church about two months ago and just got the melchezideck
priesthood last week and he is so happy that he can now help God bless
his children. Then we had a lesson with P_ but we were only able to
talk for a little bit but that's okay she wasn't super intrested but
her grand daughter seemed super intrested in coming to church but her
grandma said she was busy so we are trying to work something out with
that. Oh so we also got to help teach English class and two of our
investigators where there which was amazing then we ran into an
inactive family and they invited us in and were intrested in taking
the discussions again which was so wonderful. Oh and there was this
super adorable girl on the bus today who was petting my sweater and
every time I turned around she would smile and laugh it was the cutest
thing I love little kids so much.
Viernes: Friday Friday got get to work on Friday! So another
marvelous day in Spain taught C_ about the importance of prayer
she is an inactive member and said she will come to church with us on
Sunday which is fantastic I have so much joy serving here. Later we
had a district meeting and then went to dominos and me an elder wells
ate a whole pizza each, it was fantastic then later they were having a
devotional farewell type of a thing for a girl in our ward that is
leaving on her mission next week and we had three investigators come
which was wonderful it's so exciting to see missionaries get ready to
leave to go serve the lord. Then we had dinner at a members house they
ordered kebab it's really famous here in Spain and so good it was like
this Romanian restaurant that is super delicious.
Sabado: so today was our busiest day yet we had 8 lessons today how
crazy is that it was amazing. So we started by teaching H_ and
A_ two youth that are investigating the church we talked to
them about prayer and reading the Book of Mormon which was wonderful
they committed to read a chapter a day and pray every day as well.
Then we went to teach a family of three girls English for our first
visit. We played a game where they had to guide me to a pen that was
hidden in the room while I was blind folded in English, their English
was actually getting pretty good. Then we went to a recent converts
house for lunch and had Chinese food yes that's right Chinese food in
Spain who would have thought. Anyway we taught them about keeping the
sabbath day holy and played with the dog and cat. Then we went to the
park made some phone calls then went to an investigators house named
V_ we talked with him about God answering our questions through
prayer elder wells doesn't have much faith in him but I know that he
is a loved child of God seeking the truth and can and will find it.
Later we went to another investigator who has a boy that's 4 and 10
the four year old was full of energy running through out the apartment
playing soccer with himself the whole time reminded me of josh and kayden.
Then we went to P_ a and taught with obedience to gods
commandments we will receive guidance power and blessing beyond
comprehension then played categories with their six year old son
C_ which was great. And then finally after a long hardworking
great day it's time for bed😀
Domingo: so today started of with ward council meeting with the bishop
that was good mainly talked about the investigators in our district
which was great. We had three of our investigators show up to church
today which was a wonderful blessing. Then one of the girls gave her
farewell talk for her mission she leaves for Argentina on Wednesday so
exciting to here about. Then it was time for gospel principles that we
got two of our three investigators to stay for which was great and one
of them was actually participating a lot in the lesson which was
fabulous. Then in priesthood we talked about member missionary work
which was perfect cause supposedly the ward members have been
struggling with this so it was a perfect and inspired lesson then we
went to teach a lesson to but they didn't show up because they were
working so that's okay we got a phone call from a nonmember that had
been taught by the missionaries before and said she wants to take the
lessons again which is awesome she also gave us some birthday cake
from her friends bday party which was delicious . Then we taught W_
about being a member missionary and he told us he gave out three Books
of Mormon this week which is so awesome. Then it was time to come home
eat dinner which we warmed up a frozen pizza and went to bed.
Lunes:'today is pday how crazy is that it's already been one week so
today we woke up and went to the church so my companion could make
interview face time calls since he is the zone leader so I'm going to
study with elder lords then. After this we got our bus passes for the
month which will be good little less walking lol. Then we went got our
shopping done and u would of never guessed what else we got to play
basketball see that the soccer to basketball conversion has begun!
Basketball was great it was so nice to get up and run around on the
court again. We actually have a ball player that plays on the Spanish
national team which is so cool. Then it was email time one of my
favorite times of the day personally even slightly above basketball
which is hard to do. Then it's back to the apartment before we went
out to teach two new investigators today it will be lots of fun to get
to know them. The mission is so great and gods work is truly
progressing here in the area of barrio 3 here in the Madrid Spain
mission. It is such a beautiful place here and there's no where else
I'd rather be! It's good to be alive!!!!!
So how is every one doing? What are y'all up to? What's been the best
part of everyone's week? Have any of u had in missionary opportunities
recently! The challenge this week is to look for those opportunities
and take them cause as u invite others to come unto Christ u will find
your self coming nearer to your savior as well. Fav scripture is d and
c 31:3. Hope u all have a great week. Where ere thou art act well thy
part!
Love u all
Love elder Strong
