Una semana con viajes

¡Hola a todos! Hello everybody!

Con mi nuevo compañero Elder Seguí

Pues voy a intentar a hacer mi blog en español, porque bueno, lo he hecho en inglés por casi toda mi misión, y creo que sería más chulo en español jaja! Pero fuimos a Valencia muchas veces esta semana, por reuniones y cosas así, e hice un intercambio con Elder Ballam de Logan, y es muy majo y chistoso. 

Tuvimos entrevistas con Pte. Dayton, y ¡él es muy majo también! Era una entrevista para conocerme a mí y para ver qué tal. Y hablé acerca de mis experiencias y todo eso como misionero y cómo llegué a la decisión de servir una misión.

Y este viernes, estamos planeando de tener un bautismo! De una joven de 19 años de Colombia y está muy muy preparada y muy animada por su bautismo. Viene a todas las actividades y los JAS le han ayudado a ser parte del barrio, entonces estamos muy animados! 

La Escritura por esta semana se encuentra en Mormón 1:15-17. Mormón, siendo un joven de 15 años, empezó a predicar el Evangelio, ¡con 15 años! Y con oposición, y es un gran ejemplo para mí para ver que un chico así, tal como David en la Biblia, o José Smith en nuestra época, están dispuestos a servir a nuestro Dios, y que nosotros debemos seguir sus ejemplos.

Les quiero, nos veremos la semana que viene!!!

 En el planetario en Castellón

Castellón

Hey everybody, welcome to the first blog from Castellón. There is so much to describe, but let´s just say that Castellón is really different from Tortosa. It is big but pretty and there are a lot of members, and well, we have our own church building which is really pretty! And there were some members that I already knew from when I was in Gandía or from the MTC in Madrid (such as Elder Narcizo).

But one quick thing, there was an investigator of the other elders who they never really taught anything, but she came to various activities and church and stuff, and well, we decided to teach her and right from the beginning, she was like, well, when can I be baptized? We were really shocked, and now she has a date for the 24 of July! We are really excited and everyone in the ward is as well.

The work here is great, the Lord loves Castellón, the members are great, it is really missionary oriented and we work really well with them.

The scripture for this week is found in 3 Nefi 29:1. The Lord knows everything that is going to happen, and he knows how everything will work, we just need to go forth with faith and He will take care of the rest.

Os quiero! Hasta pronto! / Love you all!! See you soon!

New president, transfers and surprise baptism!

Leaving Tortosa to my new destination

 I will miss Tortosa!

So there was a lot that happened this week!

First of all, we met the new mission president, Pte. Dayton. He and his wife seem really cool, we only had a two hour meeting and they talked to the missionaries as a whole, so we didn´t get a lot of personal time with him, but we have interviews soon so we will see how that goes :)

And well, the news is probably out, but I left Tortosa!! NOOOOOO! I was so sad… but I know that the Lord needs me in another place. I feel good about the work that I did in Tortosa, and I know that God will take care of it. I am now in Castellón, with Elder Seguí from Murcia, two Spaniards together. I know that we are going to have a great time together jaja.

But the members in Tortosa are so great! I will miss them so much! But I only leave there so that I can come back to it. There were a lot of good-byes, many tears, many pictures taken, and contact information was shared, and well...Thank you everyone in Tortosa! You all are like family to me! 

Saying adiós to my friends in Tortosa wasn't easy!

Also, the main event that happened is that we had a baptism! The daughter of one of the members, who has had many doubts about the church, but decided to take the step of faith and be baptized! It was a true miracle!! We were not expecting it, but after the baptism she felt like it was right :) And she has plans to keep going forward with her mom in faith. 

And well... I am now in Castellón, a new chapter in my mission. I will let you know more about how Castellón is next week!

The scripture for this week is 3 Nefi 27:8. It is just so clear to me that if a church is really that of Christ, that it would have His name in it. Punto. Have a great week everybody! 

And one last thing, today July 7th is San Fermín! The running of the bulls in Pamplona, AND the 25th wedding anniversary of my parents, the best parents in the world! Felicidades! You guys are the best! Thanks for all the love and support you give me and I am excited for the next 25 years to come!!

Have a wonderful week! Love you all!
