members we could bring back to church. Then it was on to teach D_
about sharing the gospel and he said he is going to try to give out a
Book of Mormon this week which is awesome he is one of the most awesome
people I've met here, and then we met with who we thought was a non
member and it turns out she's just in active member and one of the
guys Sent from my iPad
Miercoles: so today started off wonderful we got to go to the temple
in Madrid which was so amazing so I got the headphones so I could
listen to it in English but the translator was out of battery so it
was all Spanish which was good. Guess that's gods way of telling me I
need to learn more Spanish. So that was good then we went around
taught W_ about services which was awesome. Then later we were
walking around the park and had an interesting encounter with some
one. Then we headed back to the apartment for a quick lunch and then it
was on to pick up A_ and J_ up for English class one of my
favorite parts of the day probably. And A_ and J_ are just
the best. Then after that we got to go teach D_ and P_ about
obedience and eternal families which is my favorite thing to teach
about ever. Then we got to give there son a priesthood blessing so
that was something special.
Jueves so we went up by the temple because we had a mission wide
meeting today. The president of the seventy and the area president
came which was great they talked about the importance of helping your
investigators. Understand the significance of the atonement which was
perfect. Then we had a lunch break so we went and got stuff to make
sandwiches and the chocolate filled croissant things they have here
which are the best. Also with peach nectar juice which is now probably my favorite.

Vierness: so today started of with some studies which was good I can
read and understand a lot of what I read in Spanish now which is a
blessing and a start. Then as we were walking to the park we found a
lady with a young child and asked if we could share a quick message
with her and she said yes and invited us over next week so we can talk
to her. Then we went to P_ to stop by and talked to her grand
daughter for a bit so that was nice and then it was off to dominos for
lunch for An all u can eat special I ate 1 and a half pizzas haha I
was so full after wards it was great. Then we did language study at
the church which is always good to learn more Spanish. And then it was
time for noche jogar where we talked about the examples that Christ
set for us and the importance of teaching your children at a young age
about Christ. Then we headed home for dinner and bed.
Sabado: so today we started of by memorizing the baptism invitation
and the first vision which was good then we headed out the door to go
teach V_ family English it was for young girls so it was nice
to talk in the English for a bit and then we went over to A_
house for lunch which was so much food we started with a Bolivian
potatoes soup which was amazing then we had plate of pasta with some
delicious sauce and chicken . Then it was on to D_ and M_ s
house to teach about how this is the one true church of God which was
wonderful. Then it was on are way to the baptism that the sisters
investigator had today it was such an amazing experience. D_ our
investigator came to the baptism and now she says she wants to get
baptized but wants to wait till after Christmas so her grandmother can
be her for it so that's super exciting. So we can say it ended on a
good note today!
Domingo: so today was my second Sunday in Madrid can u believe that
already been here for two weeks man that is so crazy. So one of the
recent converts gave his first talk and shared his testimony about the
power the Book of Mormon has had in his life which was wonderful then
it was on to gospel principals were we talked about the fall of Adam
and Eve and why we needed it and why it was essential for the plan of
God so that was good then in priesthood we talked about how to receive
light and truth. We can only receive more light when we are actively
searching for it after all faith with out works is dead as the
scriptures say. Then we came home and I cooked some honey glazed
turkey with pasta and bell peppers and who says guys can't cook lol.
Then we went to teach Y_ I the first lesson which went great but we
found out she is moving to neworleans in two weeks but hey she can
meet more missionaries while she's there. Then it was on to V_
family where we explained the importance of obedience cause they have
been struggling with reading praying and coming to church but I have a
good feeling they will see the light soon. Another day down can't wait
to wake up and March forth with the full armor of God spreading his
word oh I almost forgot in our lesson with Y_ her son was super
obsessed with Elder Wells tie and kept trying to take it off of him it
was the funniest thing. And then in our lesson with V_
fam we talked about the importance of keeping commitments and about
how we show our love to God is by following his commandments so I
really hope we can get them coming back to church again.
Lunes: so tc day is pday.!!! First we are heading to the park to study
then it is on to the park for the turkey bowl which was so fun keeping
the American football tradition alive. Then we went shopping for the
district thanksgiving lunch we are going to have every one here thinks
that thanksgiving is such an awesome thing and that it's really cool
to have a day just to give thanks. Then it was on to my favorite part
of pday the emails. It's so nice to here how the gospel is spreading
through out the world and how the college life and high school life is
going for some of u and most of all how things are going back home.
Can't wait to here from u all hope to hear from u soon. Love u guys
Love Elder, Strong
