Hola!! What a great week with tons of news! That's super great about Brandon's call! Congrats! ¡Felicitaciones! ¡Enhorabuena! Woo! Argentina huh? I bet Dad is super stoked for him =) I still can't fathom what Dad's secret is to his guesses...he must have connections there in Salt Lake. Instead of going to "work" there he probably hangs around the church missionary department haha. It will be great to be home together for a week before he heads out! I'm surprised that 70 people could fit into the new house! It must be bigger than I though =) And that Brandon has that many friends haha jk :P That made it out amid all their busy schedules I mean... ;)
It was a good week mainly because of the weekend I think =) Throughout the week we had hardly any visits and we set ourselves out to lots of finding. It was difficult to just endure no after no with high hopes, but we managed to keep a laugh and a smile on. It just is so frustrating when everyone is saying no and shaking their hand before I finish "Hola..." and they accelerate walking and don't even stop to hear me finish "...buenas tardes". I kept thinking that there had to be something we were doing wrong... I loved Conference though. Which leads to my miracle:
God answers prayers!! In addition to questions, I even just simply wrote down a few topics/things in general that concerned me or that was weighing on them, and they too were addressed and talked about! Almost every one in the first session alone, and of course repeated throughout all of conference! I was also especially impressed with the music too. Everything was just simply magnificent =) We didn't get to see Sunday Afternoon, since that was 22-00:00 here, so I'm downloading it now. I was super sad to see one of my favorite seventies, Tad Callister, be released, but then he got a calling as Sunday school president, so he'll still get to speak a lot =) It was sad to see Russell Osguthorpe get released though. But that's how the Lord's work goes!
I couldn't tell you which talks to watch...they're all super great! I don't have my notes on me, but off the top of my head I liked Elder Holland's, Elder Ballard's, First Presidency, Elder Bednar, and the Priesthood Session =)
I think our district is doing great. The Hna's and the Elders both have a couple fechas now, and we are all working hard. I feel bad that we don't have any investigators ever to show a good example, but I guess I can still be one in other ways as we keep searching =) I feel that we are really unified and that good things are coming to Zaragoza. The ward and especially the bishop seem to have been opening up a lot. I'm greatful for so many great blessings =) It was interesting District meeting this last week, Elder Loaiza not speaking English and Elder Dunn still learning Spanish, but they are both learning lots so before we know it we'll all be bilingually fluent =)
Well, that's about all I have time for today.
