This week was jammed packed with stuff. We walked a lot and had
some really cool spiritual experiences.
Our investigators are wonderful people and I just love being with them. A
new investagor we have is a son of a less-active who moved from colombia and
he´s 18 and just loved the message of the restoration. He is super good and
wanted to come to church. However, we didn´t see him this week. Claudia, who is
this super awesome person from bolivia, finally came back from vacation and we
read 3 nephi 11 with her. It was super good, but she´s going on vacation
again for the next 2 weeks and so that´s a bummer. She said that she wants
to be baptized by the end of the year, so cross your fingers!!! Victor didn´t
answer his phone, so we coundn´t visit him and his family, but they too are
terrific people. A lot of our new investigators fired on us this week and so we
have to set new appointments for this week and that stinks because we are super
busy this week too.
This week we have specialized training with president and sister pace on
friday, so we go down to valencia for that. Last wednesday we had a zone
enfoque and that was super spiritual. I love our zone and district! we don´t
have any baptisms yet, but we are planning on one this month. We also went up
to Barcelona on friday to pick up my citizenship/ID card and meet up with all
the missionaries who are in my group. It was a cool mini reunion. We had to
take a 2-1/2 hour train ride up and back. We left super early in the
morning. Also, I got a meal at mcdonalds and they messed it up and so I just
shrugged it off, but still wanted my big mac =(. Anyway, it was a lot of fun to
go.
Yesterday we had a cool miracle when we were walking to a member's home and
saw an investgator of ours we haven´t seen in a long time because she never
answers her phone and is always super busy. We have a visit with her and met
with her friend, and she wants a book of mormon in romanian. (ps there are a lot
of romanian people here in spain). We drove out to a pueblo with the ward
mission leader and taught a lesson to an investagtor we found a few weeks ago in the
park and it was good, but hard. She had a lot of really hard questions because
we could tell she has been taught by the jehova witnesses. I tried to explain
the joseph smith first vision, and my mind went blank and my spanish (what
little I had) left too. My companion took over and I gave a silent pray, asking
to know what to say. My answer was that I should bear my testimony. As things
were wrapping up in the lesson, I gave my testimony of the Book of Mormon. I had
tears streaming down my eyes. I know that the spitit was there.
I may not know much about how computers work or the creation of stars, but
I know that the book of mormon is true and that when I read it I feel good. I
don´t know every scripture for every situation, but I know that Joseph Smith
translanted this book and it is for our benifit and for our happiness in this
troubling world. This is a small testimony that I have and leave with you in
the name of Jesus Christ, amen.
Love,
Elder Gonzalez
