Well this week I have learned the mission is one big "fake it til you make it.....with the spirit" haha never have any idea what I am doing, ever. But things just always seem to work out just the way they are suppose to, it's actually really crazy! This is God's work, and that's it. Well just the usual so many things happened this week! It was transfers and I am in vilafranca with my cute companion Hermana Ligon! Which Ligón in Spanish is flirt so we hear that joke at least 80 1/2 times a day. But I love her! She is fro, Colorado but went to byu Hawaii and I'm obssed with Hawaii oh my goodness!!! Next stop after Spain! She has one more transfer than i do so we are both fairly new missionares, little baby amerifan girls trying to speak to people about God in Spanish....and it is going AMAZING!!!Transfers are a little crazy but she is a good! We have seen so many little miricles and we have been using our smart phone a lot and literally it is such a blessing we have lessons with people that we could never meet with before! The gospel is growing my friends. This week to welcome my companion into vilafranca our bishop and his family had thanksgiving for us at there house (yes a second thanksgiving, living high) it was so fun! We went over and helped make all the food. But the degrees for the oven here are different so of course we put the oven way way to high and caught our sweet potatoes with marshmallows on fire!!! And it was a big fire. Bishop was trying to take a picture with me and in the back ground of the picture we just saw a giant flame and he had to run to the rescue. Also I just got bible bashed for the first time, in English, so that was exciting. Oh my goodness and of course so so many miricles!!!!! One of my favorite miricles this week was we had a little bit of free time and as we were walking Lilly's name just poped into my head and I felt that we should pass by here. She is an investigator I havnt met with since my training and we have had a really hard time meeting with her. We went to her building and as we got to the door we got a text from bishop telling us that Lilly was in the hospital and he couldn't go see her because he had to work that night and was wondering if we could pass by. We walked about 2 miles that night to find the hospital, and we happened to pass the only flower shop in Vila franca. We were able to buy her each a flower and find the hospital. We went and visited her and she was just so greatful that we were there and talked to us for a while about everything. We then started talking about Christmas and shared a video about Christmas and she loved it she asked us if we could come visit her this week. What a miricle! After she dabbled out of her hospital room with us to buy us candy from the vending machine, sweetest lady❤ The other day my companion said she was hungry and I said we should pass by Isabelle just so happenes Isabelle was having a birthday party for her grandson and they gave us half a cake....MIRICLE.Also we are teaching just about every Peruvian in Spain, we have family home evenings every Monday night now with two different families from Peru at the same time (both familias have a jose Luis in their family and they are both the only members in their family so they have been helping us) we are also teaching their friend from Peru named Eric he is a little older than us and is amazing! He has a date to be baptised on the 23rd of December, but he just works on Sundays until new years so that is the only thing aginst us. Also NACHO IS GETTING BAPTISED THIS SATERDAY!!!!!! Wow finally he is so amazing and so ready he was sick a week ago and it was hard to meet with him and he also lives in Barcelona which makes it hard to meet with him kind of a crazy situation, but this saterday he will be baptised and on Sunday recieve the Holy Ghost! We are so so excited for him he has had a hard time since his mom passed away and he loves and agrees with everything about the gospel, he said that there is something so special about the gospel, he loves church and wants to be baptised he is so great! We are so excited for Nacho! WE ARE GOING TO HAVE A WHITE CHRISTMASSSSSSSSSSSSSS!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Missionary work is absolutly amazing in every part I am honestly just so happy here,My Spanish is finally coming along and I just love the people here with my whole heart so much! Literally I am doing things I thought I would never be able to do but I know 100% that it is my Savior I wouldn't be able to do this without him! Missionary work is amazing and I am so excited to see more lives change here in beautiful Vilafranca! I love being a missionary for our Lord! Nothing is better. Christmas time is coming so close! Literally the best time of the year to serve. What a more amazing place to be than sharing the gospel in Spain for Christmas. My heart has melted many times as I have been family and friends sharing light the world and experiences on Facebook. This church is absolutely amazing! It is changing life's everyday! This Gospel is hope, peace and joy. And it is the Lord's gospel. This is the work of the lord. I LOVE and miss you all so much, I am so greatful for all of you.I have a testimony of this Gospel. I know that touches heart, heals, loves and builds relationships like nothing else. I LOVE being here just serving and bearing my testimony everyday. I know that our Savior was born in a humble stable, I know that he suffered for us all personally, he suffered for our pains, sins, and afflictions and he knows exactly how we feel in every moment and how to help us. We are never alone and he loves us. I know that he loves. That the only thing the only thing he did while he was on this earth was serve. And what better way to show our love for God and our savior than serve and love the people around us at this time. This is the reason for Christmas. I promise nothing is better. This church is true, God lives.
Love you all
MERRY CHRISTMAS
FELIZ NAVIDAD
