This week was a good week! It has been RAINING!! ITS A MILAGRO!! We have been needing to find some new amigos so we have started trying diferent ways to meet people. We started offering free cooking class where people can learn how to make American desserts! We already have 2 students, a tiny Spanish lady and a big urban Hungarian man (the kind a man that wear scarfs and sits in Starbucks reading a book) I'm so stoked jaja. Our amigos are doing good! It was a little hard in the beginning cause Alexander "broke up" with us saying he doesn't have time to meet anymore which was really rough but we've seen some other amigos progressing so well!
Along with the work coming along, we got to go to Alicante for a zone conference with the 3 zones in the south. Guess who I saw?!?! Hermana Heitonga, Elder palmer, and elder harbor!!! Some of my old district! It was so fun to see and talk to them!! Zone conference was SO good! We talked a lot about church history and family history! Super interesting!
One of my favorite things I heard was that there is power in finding out more about our ancestors. They are part of us, they are cheering us on, they love us. We need to do our part to find out more about those who have passed on so we keep remeber their legacy. We were challenged to write a favorite memory we have with a grandparent, aunt, uncle, great grandparent, parent, anyone! We were challenged to write it down so we can remember it and that story won't be lost. I challenge you all to do that too. I know that there is power in knowing where we came from and who were are. I can testify that we are all children of God and have the families we do for a reason. I know that when we feel alone and weak we can look to our ancestors and our father and heaven and they will help us along. I've seen this in my own life and have felt so much love and peace as I do my family history work, it's amazing.
I love you all! Have a great rest of the week!
