Week 59

way to go natalie!!!! YAY!!! you are a champion!!!! for real. that sounds so hard. but so cool! I'll do crazy marathons with you when I get home too. but, considering i only get 30 minutes a day...you might have to whip me into shape :)

ok...what the. everyone gets married. but it's good. I'm glad. I'm bummed that I'll miss andrew's....but that's ok. Also, Lauren Miner (my roommate) sent me her wedding invite. I freaked out. I didn't even know she was dating him! but it's fine. it's totally fine. I'm really happy for all of them :) and....I'll just stay on my mission for the rest of my life. perfect.

Speaking of which, I got to see President and Hermana Clegg this weekend. yay! It's always the best. and i have a really cute picture with them....but i forgot my camera. next week será. anyway, in my interview with president he was asking me if I have any last wishes for where i want to serve. who does he think he is? (haha) that was just a little bit of not the question I want. But I got so nervous about thinking that I'll only have one more area (or maybe I got nervous that I WILL have another area? I've been in murcia so long I don't even know what that would be like) so then I just ended up saying like 5 cities all at once....and most of them don't even have hermanas there. baha oh well. Anyway, it was fun to see them. 

Really cool things are happening in our mission right now....and in murcia too! We should be having a baptism next week of Mari and her daughter....together! woohoo!

Actually, we had a few really amazing citas this week. Really amazing. It was actually kind of a long hard week....for a lot of reasons. but these lessons we had were sooo incredible. It makes up for all of it. For example, our investigator Andrea, daughter of Mari, is pregnant...and Mari already had a baptismal date but Andrea was a little bit more apathetic to things. A couple weeks ago she had like an overnight change...it was a miracle. and was suddenly more open to everything. Anyway, in one of our citas last week she told the member that was in the lesson with us....that she is going to get baptized with her mom. But she hadn't even told US yet! haha but we were excited. they are the best

AND we are teaching the husband of one of our members. His name is Juan. His wife just had a baby on thursday. This man has been taught by so many hermanas....for a long time. But, the Lord knows how to prepare people. And having a new son has changed his heart quite a bit. But he is still stubborn. Anyway, yesterday we went to see them in the hospital. We taught them (the fact that she had a room to herself was even a miracle) and the spirit was so strong. We taught him about the temple....and told him that he is holding his family back. And he said he knew it was all true. The spirit was SO strong. I've never felt so good in a hospital before. haha normally they make me feel kind of sick. It was just a blessing. I hope to see his baptism before I leave.

And....I am SO grateful for hermana Nelson. I'm so glad that I get more time to be with her and to learn from her. She is SO much fun....and just so good. She has such a good heart, is so positive and close to the spirit. I learn more and more everyday.

ok...so i feel kind of like this is a random email. but i don't have much else to say.

But...I love you family!!!

have a good week!!

ole.

con amor,
