Hey everyone! This week has been a little slower but it's good, there
wouldn't be amazing weeks without some normal ones mixed in with the
bunch haha! But we also were very blessed and saw some HUGE miracles
this week!!! An investigator finding the church through us after 13
years of living in Ibiza and later a friend of a member who they've
been to trying to share the gospel with for about 1.5 years has
finally had a change of heart and wants to change his life! The Lord
has been so merciful upon us here in Ibiza.
First off we spent a lot of the week running place to place trying to
cover visits, and because we had lots of visits, but people talk a lot
here and so we try to get out of visits timely but people talk and
talk and talk and talk, which is good because a lot of people are
opening up to my companion and I but sometimes it gets a little long!
Haha we've had several people tell us their whole life story in our
visits this week! Which is great, BUT we have other visits set so
sometimes it puts us in awkward situations. But nevertheless we are
working hard and improving!
So this week we went out to another city on the island, Sant Josep, to
have dinner with a member family and as we got off the bus, a woman
driving down the highway in her car sticks her head out the window and
yells, "ELDERS!!! Come over here!". She promptly pulled off the road
and waved us over, she told us she was a "member" in Peru and that her
brother was a member of the church and she was investigating and
coming to church with him, but moved to Ibiza before she was able to
be baptized. We gave her the Book of Mormon and her eyes lit up! She
was sooo happy to finally find the church and we have a visit with her
this Wednesday and so we're super excited to go teach her!
Directly after that we went to visit that member family and they
invited their Buddhist friend, Christian from Argentina and we went
and had a great time with them! He shared some really personal things
with us and we had an amazing lesson with him. He came to church this
Sunday, dressed in the suit he was married in! He told me at the
dinner we had that he didn't like coming to church because it was
boring but he likes to learn from us, so he comes whenever that family
invites him. This Sunday he came with an open heart and the spirit
touched his soul, I saw him towards the end of Sunday school and tears
were running down his face. I literally was stunned, but it's true.
Truly there is no person who is exempt from the redeeming power of our
savior, Jesus Christ. If we just let him in our lives will never be
the same! We are really excited for him and he told us that he wants
to change his life and he's ready to do what he needs to do to change!
I know that Jesus Christ gave his life for us and that he loves each
and every one of us. He knows us and only asks that we follow him.
"Behold, he sendeth an invitation unto all men, for the arms of mercy
are extended towards them, and he saith: Repent, and I will receive
you."
(Alma 5:33)
I hope you all have a wonderful week!!! Love you!!!!
