Remember when I told you I finally learned how to whistle? Well I continue to practice as we spend time walking in the streets. One though, I was walking and a girl had crossed the street from the otherside to my side, walking in the same direction and ended up in front of us. I started whistling, not really thinking anything, just wanting to whistle a hymn, and she looked back quickly and seemed all surprised and self conscious. I felt bad afterward because I think she thought I was whistling at her! I wasn´t sure how to handle that situation, didn´t really want her to think I was checking her out when I wasn´t.
We had the annual ´Mission Tour´ on Wednesday, and listened to Elder Dyches, who is one of the counselors for Europe. He had some really good ideas and tips for us, and during the conference I felt some impressions for myself to rely more on the relationship I have with my Heavenly Father, and to let that relationship grow even more. Prayer is a huge part of life obviously, and I think it would help us all to take some time in constructing that cornerstone a bit more.
When we were walking back home from a branch Family Home Evening on Friday, we were just about to our piso building when a couple came up from behind and said ¨Hello Elders, how are you?¨ Which obviously took us both by surprise. As we talked, they let us know that she, Monse, is a member (from Paraguay) but less active. She has been here for about a year or so and hasn´t been able to go to church, although she really wants to. Her boyfriend, Antonio, lives here in Fuenlabrada (she lives out a bit) and isn´t a member but very nice and willing to talk. We were able to meet with them on Saturday and show them the chapel, I could tell Monse felt the spirit, and strengthened to be there in that church again after a while. She was baptized about 10 years ago I think, and has a great testimony. Now, as they´re looking to get married and start a family, she is looking for the possibility to have an eternal family, and wants him to have the opportunity to join this gospel as well. We´re so excited to be able to witness this progress and to see if an eternal family can be born. If you could, a prayer for them would help a lot.
Things are going really well, I´m loving life. Today we went to the Temple of Debod, I´ll attach a picture or two. Spain is so full of history that I love learning about.
I love you all so much, continue doing well and striving to do your best always. you´re examples to me.
Love Elder Franson
