love meeting so many people

Family and friends,

This week was a good one, we were able to go to the temple on Wednesday morning--love that place--then on Thursday we had a huge zone conference. But unlike times before, on Thursday it was every zone here in Madrid (there are 5 zones). So it was huge, but a lot of fun. I learned a ton and felt the spirit really strong. They do such a good job at motivating us, at least me. One part really struck me was when they gave us the envelopes that we had actually written to ourselves on the first day in the mission field. I got to read what I wrote back then, and It felt so weirddddd. Like I was talking to my best friend, or my twin self haha. Holy smokes, made me all emotional. But made me remember the desires I had at the beginning of this mission, and how eager I was to go start working. I hope to continue with those same desires and to become the missionary that I imagined myself being as I grew up. Thank you mom and dad for helping guide me so that that is actually possible.

We´ve been finding amazing people! Thank you for your prayers! You´ve been helping us out a ton. One of them was Charlie--from Ghana :) he´s been here for quite some time, and is married to a Spanish woman and they have a little cute boy. We found him actually a while ago but it just took forever to meet with him. On Tuesday we had a great lesson and then another time this week, then he came to church!! He told us many times that he felt so good there, and that he´s going to come every Sunday now haha. This is the best. Pray for him. He´s accepted a baptismal date for the 20 of December, so excitedddddddd.

Also found a couple of other great people, one from the DR, one from Africa, another from somewhere else on the globe. I love meeting so many people. I would like to be able to teach more Spanish people though. 

Thanks for everything, I love you all and appreciate your prayers. Take care!
