easter thoughts

Hello Family!

I hope you all had a great week, a great Easter. It was really weird, becuase the branch here in Alcorcon didn´t mention anything about Easter in any of the talks of classes. Weird, right? I´m not sure what happened, But i had some time to think about Christ and his resurrection. It is amazing to think of all of the things he did just for us. So that we can live again, so that we can have another chance. I just watched the video on lds.org that is called becuase of Him. So good. Please go watch it. My appreciation for my Savior has definitely grown a bunch in just these few months I´ve been out here. My eyes have been opened to see all of the things that have come from Him, from His sacrificies. Many things that I hadn´t realized before.

So we went to the temple again this past Wednesday, and it was another great spiritual experience for me. We spent as much time as we could in the Celestial room haha. I think Satan really didn´t want me to stay on that spiritual high, becuase on the metro ride home I lost my wallet. Yep. Residency card, driver's license, debit card, temple recommend. Gone. That was a very stressful afternoon for me. I´m really really sorry, Mom!

Another tough thing this week was that my companion has gotten pretty sick, I don´t know what it is maybe the flu or something. But he is super exhausted and his throat really hurts so he can´t talk haha. We had to got to the apartment a couple hours early last night which was super weird for me haha. Now I know what Jess is talking about when he said it took him a couple tries after his misssion to watch Harry Potter becuase he was still in that mission mode, of always working, always doing something.

Lately, some of our good investigators, like Lucho, and others haven´t been answering their phones! Which is kind of annoying. But we had a cool miracle the other day. This family from Ecuador, that we had stopped and talked to in the street about a week ago, just randomly showed up to English class and we were able to talk to them a bit before English class and they are really cool. Hopefully we´ll be able to meet with thim this week and share a message with them.

Oh I just wanted to say one more thing. So with packages, before you send them ask me about it first. Because I don´t want you to send a package to my piso and then I get transferred right before it comes and then I´ll never be able to get it. Right now we have 3 more weeks left in the transfer so you should be good. I got the slip thing that says my package is waiting but I haven´t been able to pick it up yet becuase this whole week it was been closed for Easter, the ´semana santa´. But thanks so much for sending it! I can´t wait to see what´s inside :)

Have a great week, don´t be afraid to share a little thing or thought about the Gospel with your friend. The Lord will bless you and your friend
