Hello everyone! I hope all of you
are doing well!
So let's see what happened this
week. Well, last Thursday, we went to the Museo del Prado and it was SO BIG! Elder
Gill, one of the missionaries interested in art too and I went around and saw
almost the whole museum! Even though it was big, and we only had an hour and a
half, we saw a lot of stuff, but I just wish we were able to spend more time
there. All the art was beautiful and unique and I am really glad I had the
chance to go around with another Elder who loved art. They even had special art
exhibits honoring the King and Queens of Portugal, Velazquez, and Las Furias,
all really cool exhibits!
For my experience at the park this
week was I was paired up in a trio. I was finally paired up Elder Fisher and
also with a Russian American named Elder McCallum. Really nice guys and they both
have strong testimonies. This day at the park was probably our hardest. We went
and saw our friend Tigger again (whose name is Felix) that Elder Ward and I
found our first week, and he is taking the missionary discussions! It was so
cool to see that he was!!! But for the next hour and a half, we had nobody that
wanted to listen to us. We went around the whole park getting nos and glares
from left and right. But finally, with then minutes before we had to leave, we
ran into three Cambodian Buddhists who spoke English and would listen to our
message!!! They accepted some pamphlets and our one English Book of Mormon!!!
It was so awesome, when they left we jumped and gave each other high-fives because
finally someone talked to us! Then we were on the metro ride back and I felt
like leaving a Book of Mormon on an empty seat next to this young woman who
just sat down. So at our stop of Pavones, we stand up, leaving the Book of
Mormon there, and she gets up, saying "Señor, señor, su libro" (Sir,
sir, your book) and we told her "No, es para usted” (No, it is for you) and
guess what, she sat back down and kept it!!! So hopefully it will be read and
something miraculous will happen!
On Tuesday, our three Russian
friends left, so it was a sad day! They were so nice and wonderful, and you
could really tell the Spirit was with them. But we did get a good thing in
return, the "native" speakers. They came throughout the day, and
there are around 35 new missionaries here. Most of them came from South
American countries, and one is actually from Sandy, Elder Robledo! Also Elder
Del Amo is Spanish, from Sevilla. So they came and talked to me and wondered
why I didn't come with them because my Spanish is amazing (that is what they
said, jaja). But they are super awesome and I'm glad that there are some new
people here I can really talk to!
This morning, we went to the temple
again! It was closed for the past two weeks for cleaning, so it was good to go
back again!! It is so pretty in there! And today, I think we are just going to
go to the mall or something, but I will let you know!
I am here until the 18th
of February, so about 12 days left!
Thank you for everything you have
done for me, all of you!!! I love you!!!
