Random thoughts:
We had a fhe last week with a Bolivian family who has a daughter going on a mission to Argentina on Wednesday. We had a lesson and after we ate piquemacho, or something like that, and it is so good! Claudia, convert in castellón, made some for us once and it was really good.
Mom, I need more return addresses for sending letters.
Also thank you Erica for taking the time to go on family search and placing photos online for people like me to know more about my family. ( completing the second part of plan de Europa)
I have a twin brother name sabastin from chile. He is a less active, but he is the same age and we both like the same stuff like Starcraft and movies. He is a great kid, and has a cat too!
We went to eat fast food a few times this week, yum.
We were on a bus, because that is all we ever do is ride buses, and there were a few catholic priests on the bus and two elders.
Élder Montalbo said the pledge of allegiance as we were walking one day and it was terrific. The words were so good. It was on Saturday and we were contacting with a member and I had a power fraze go through my head. A young woman walked by. Normally I don't like to contact the young adults because I simply feel a like awkward around them sometimes. Anyway, I asked if she believed if God can answer prayers? She said yes and was very interested to listen for more. We were shocked that someone actually stopped to listen to us. We talked for a little bit more and she was hooked with our message. We even had the member testifying too. Our only problem was that we forgot to hand her a Book of Mormon, silly mistake on our part, but we know where she lives though. Miracles!
We had a great Sunday. Ana, an investigator, came to church. We lost contact with her last week and she didn't come to church last week, but she came without us having to call her. We have a visit with her on Saturday.
We were walking out of church and we saw a man who was drinking beer in the bar under the church. He fell over and cut his head open and blood was gushing out. The members stormed to help. He was super drunk, delirious.
And we had a Halloween dance for the youth in the church here and they brought a lot of their nonmember friends. It was really good. I helped put decorations up because I'm so tall.
Well family last weekend was "todo los santos" and this is a holiday here in Spain. It is when families go to visit their family who have passed on from this mortal life into the spirit world. It was truly a blessing to have knowledge and a testimony of this restored gospel that we can live as families now and forever. Thanks to the priesthood "that whatsoever ye shall seal on earth shall be sealed in heaven" (hel 10:7). I don't know abuela muy bien pero sé que
viviremos con nuestras familias para siempre. This time, this earthly life is for men to prepare to meet God (alma 12:24). " Else what shall they do which are baptized for the dead, if the dead rise not at all? why are they then baptized for the dead?" 1 cor 15:29. Because we shall live again. Christ died and broke the bonds of death. Death has no sting. The grave has no victory. I know that, yo sé que, my redeemer lives, vive mi señor. Gracias a él viviremos. Thanks to him we will all live again. I love you all and hope you have a wonderful weeks.
Con carino,
Elder Gonzalez
