Hey everyone! Things are going well here in Terrassa!! I'm growing
everyday and so is our area!!! Not much has happened this week, we had
to do TWO different companion exchanges, I guess on of the perks of
being companions with a district leader.
We also have been working a lot with one of our investigators, Ximena
and she is going to be baptized pretty much for sure on the 22nd of
this month and I am sooooo excited, it'll be my first baptism and she
is GOLDEN! She was able to come to a baptismal service on Saturday and
just loved it, then she came to church and said, "When I walked into
the church, I just felt like I was at home. It feels so peaceful. I'm
coming next week FORSURE!" She has been feeling the spirit very
strongly and really knows that baptism is the next step for her! She
has a member boyfriend who is living in Ecuador and were hoping that
after her baptism we can get them to the temple together!!!
Other than that, for one of the companion exchanges this week, I went
to Barcelona in the Zone Leaders area and I got to have Paella for the
first time!! It was just loaded with Seafood and I literally almost
barfed!!! Haha, it was pretty awkward, it all tasted super
good...apart from all the Seafood that was put in it haha. It was
little octopuses in there completely WHOLE, squid heads the size of a
thumb, shrimp, fish, mussels, oysters and practically any other type
of Seafood that makes me want to puke haha, but I held it down!! The
most awkward part was I was talking to the member who made it and I
took a bite while we was looking at me and I got a FULL squid head,
and it like burst open when I bit it with the most nasty liquid ever
and I totally started gagging, so fighting it I swallow the squid head
whole without chewing, and after this whole personal battle I look up
and the member is just staring at me....AWKWARD! But at least I was
only in the area for a day haha. Eating with members can be very
interesting to say the least as a missionary!
Things are really going well though! Elder Islas and I are like best
buddies and things are just going amazing for us! I hope all is well
and have a great week!
